Propolis and its healing properties

Propolis includes numerous active compounds, such as flavonoids, aromatic acids, diterpenoid acids, triterpenoids and phenols. These components might explain why propolis is so beneficial for human health. Propolis was discovered to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and pain-relieving properties explain the effectiveness of propolis for the treatment of colds as a natural remedy.

Products with propolis are recommended for use in case of frequent acute colds and as a preventative measure at the beginning of the cold season. Propolis helps reduce complications after inflammations, injuries, surgeries, chronic infections, and degenerative diseases.

Products with propolis may be used to resolve issues with the digestive system, inflammations of the urinary system, to reduce problems caused by the infections in bronchi and lungs, and skin conditions (viral herpes and fungal diseases). Products with propolis are also used in oncology (they suppress the growth of cancerous cells), as well as to treat inflammation of teeth and gums.

Propolis and its benefits

Scientists have been working on understanding the composition and properties of propolis for many years. A few of the substances in its composition are still unknown. It is known, however, that this resinous substance contains essential oils, phytoncides, cinnamic acid, plant resin, and wax. This natural resin contains the majority of well-known vitamins and microelements.
