Propolis is said to stimulate function of a healthy immune system and
protect against certain conditions such as inflammation of the mucous membranes
halitosis, coughs, tonsillitis and certain ulcers.
Propolis is a form of resin which is collected by bees from bark and tree leaves.
When combined by the worker bee with pollen, nectar and wax, it forms
'sticky' substance termed 'propolis'. It is used around the hive as an
effective sealant, filling holes and cracks in the shell of the bee
hive. For 40 million years, bees have been using propolis in their hives to protect themselves from contamination. Use of propolis by man
may date back over 2,000 years. It is rich in vitamins, minerals and organic acids.
It is also rich in bioflavonoids, including quercetin. Bioflavonoids are antioxidants, extend the activity of vitamin C, and protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation. Propolis has been found to be immune supporting. Animal studies have shown that propolis has a soothing effect on arachidonic acid metabolism.
It is also
used by bees as a 'disinfectant', where its sterile properties sterilizes the bees from
infection. It is used very effectively by bees, who exploit its
natural properties in many ways around the hive.
Bees have
been on the planet in their present form for what some experts claim
could be as long as 80 million years! Needless to say they have stood
the test of time better than any other species on the planet. Experts
are claiming the reason for this incredible existence is largely due
to the natural properties of the bee 'elements' themselves.
Protecting, sterilizing and nourishing bees to guard them against the
hazards of the outside world, the natural bee products are now being
recognized widely for their benefit to humans. Despite the obvious
benefits, there is no way for man to synthetically recreate the
properties of honey, pollen, Propolis or royal jelly. In fact it
contains certain compounds which are so complex that they have yet to
be identified and categorized.
This
perhaps guarantees the safe existence of the bee population for maybe
another 80 million years!
Propolis contains all the known vitamins except for vitamin
K, and has fourteen of the 15 minerals that the human body requires for normal
function. (it does not contain sulfur)
