Propolis is a substance processed by bees with resin collected from plant buds and tree trunks, and mixed with its mandibular gland secretion and beeswax. Bees collect conifers or broad leaves near the bee farm and act on the secreted resin as the source of propolis.
Hard-working bees collect resins and gums from plants, mix them with the secretions of bee tongue glands, wax glands and other glands, and then process them into gelatinous substances, which is propolis. When plants are injured or poisoned, the epidermis will secrete a yellow-brown colloid, which is the physiological product of plant metabolism and has complex physiological functions to protect plants from injury. Propolis can not only fill the cracks in the hive and prevent the invasion of diseases and enemies, but also have magical effects on human health.
2. What are the main ingredients of propolis?
Modern chemical analysis has proved that propolis contains the essence of animals and plants and has complex and unique chemical components. Among them, more than 70 kinds of flavonoids, more than 50 kinds of aromatic acids and esters, more than 20 kinds of phenols and alcohols, 10 kinds of aldehydes and ketones, 10 kinds of terpenoids, and more than 50 kinds of fatty acids and fatty acid esters have been identified, including calcium, selenium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, chromium, lithium, strontium, magnesium and cerium. There are also various sugars, steroids, enzymes, vitamins, olefins, hydrocarbons and other biologically active organic compounds. Propolis is like a "small medicine storehouse". Its biggest feature is that propolis is rich in flavonoids and terpenoids, which endows propolis with many wonderful and unique biological functions. Medical scientists say that propolis is a kind of "medicine and food homologous" substance, which has obvious physiological and pharmacological effects and can dispel diseases and strengthen the body. Propolis has been widely used in medicine, chemical industry, food and other fields.
3. Clinical application of propolis.
1. Application in surgery: Propolis has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which can quickly relieve local pain, promote epithelial hyperplasia and granulation growth, reduce scar formation and improve blood and lymphatic circulation, so it is widely used to treat surgical diseases such as chronic leg ulcers and anal fissure.
2. Skin application: Propolis preparation can be used to treat skin diseases such as corns, herpes zoster, verruca plana, verruca vulgaris, folliculitis, hyperhidrosis, sunburn, radiation dermatitis, chapped skin, eczema, itching, neurodermatitis, psoriasis, acne vulgaris and alopecia areata. Some hospitals treat purulent dermatosis with propolis preparation, and the cure rate is 75%. Propolis preparation was used to treat dermatitis 1000 cases, in which the curative effect of invasive alopecia was 100% and that of alopecia areata was 82%. Using propolis to treat corns, the cure rate is 90%.
3. Application in Otolaryngology: Use propolis preparation (ointment or drops) to treat otitis media or rhinitis, generally 3-4 times, 10- 15 days can be cured, and individual cases can be cured in 3-4 days. At home and abroad, propolis extract has a good effect on acute and chronic rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract inflammation, otitis media, hearing impairment and so on.
4. Application in stomatology: As early as 1950s, propolis cream has been successfully used abroad to treat oral diseases such as recurrent aphtha, oral erosion and ulcer.
5. Internal medicine application: Gastric and duodenal ulcer is a stubborn chronic disease. Clinical practice has proved that more than 90% of patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer are treated with propolis tablets, which has been significantly improved in 3 ~ 5 days, and the gastric acidity tends to be normal, and the gastric juice secretion function returns to normal. Propolis tablets have obvious hypolipidemic effect in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, and also have good effect in the treatment of coronary heart disease.
4. What are the magical effects of propolis?
Hard-working bees collect resins and gums from plants, mix them with the secretions of bee tongue glands, wax glands and other glands, and then process them into gelatinous substances, which is propolis. When plants are injured or poisoned, the epidermis will secrete a yellow-brown colloid, which is the physiological product of plant metabolism and has complex physiological functions to protect plants from injury. Collecting propolis can not only fill the cracks in the hive and prevent the invasion of diseases and enemies, but also have a magical effect on human health.
A large number of studies show that propolis has magical effects on human health, and there are almost no toxic and side effects. Its main biological functions can be summarized as the following eight aspects:
(1) Propolis is a precious natural broad-spectrum antibacterial substance. Propolis contains rich and unique flavonoids and terpenoids, which have obvious inhibitory and killing effects on a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses. Can be used for treating beriberi, onychomycosis, eczema, various ulcers, periodontitis, laryngitis, rhinitis, gastritis, urinary system infection, common cold, hemorrhoid, diarrhea and other diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms. But also has the advantages of small dosage, quick response, no drug resistance and no destruction of beneficial colonies.
(2) Propolis is a precious immune enhancer. It has the function of improving immunity, obviously improving the disease resistance of the body, and has a good effect on preventing colds, cancers, aging, and eliminating senile plaques and pigmentation.
(3) Propolis has obvious lipid-lowering and hypoglycemic effects.
(4) Propolis has obvious anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation effects. The essence of human aging is an "oxidation" process, which is related to cell decline, vascular sclerosis, brown spot formation and gene mutation. Flavonoids, cinnamic acid derivatives, vitamins E, C, A, selenium, zinc and other trace elements in propolis have certain antioxidant effects. These substances are ingeniously blended by bees and complement each other. * * * play an antioxidant role together, which makes the antioxidant effect of propolis twice that of dibutyl hydroxytoluene (BHT), and has good effects in preventing aging, mutation, pigment formation, and eliminating toxins in the body. Taking propolis for a long time can not only activate cells and eliminate stains, but also strengthen the body, make the face radiant and keep young forever.
(5) Propolis can promote tissue regeneration. It can quickly stop bleeding and accelerate wound healing, and has obvious therapeutic effect on burns, scalds and wounds.
(6) Propolis also has anti-tumor effect. The anti-tumor effects of propolis and its functional components in vitro and in vivo were studied by using various tumor cell lines. The results show that propolis can directly inhibit and kill cancer cells, and has good preventive and therapeutic effects on tumors and polyps.
(7) Prevention and treatment of vascular diseases. Propolis is rich in flavonoids, which has good effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, softening blood vessels, reducing blood lipid, preventing platelet aggregation and improving microcirculation, and has good preventive and therapeutic effects on arteriosclerosis, infarction, thrombosis and hyperlipidemia.
(8) Other functions. Propolis also has obvious safety, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipruritic, anesthetic and anti-radiation effects.
5. What lipid diseases does propolis have medical and health care effects?
Hyperlipidemia is one of the risk factors of coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and atherosclerosis. The patient's blood lipid (serum cholesterol and triglyceride) is very high, which leads to many diseases. Reducing blood lipid content is an important content of preventing diseases and strengthening the body. Propolis can significantly reduce blood lipid, serum triglyceride, cholesterol, blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, and can also regulate hematocrit, fibrinogen, platelet adhesion and aggregation rate and other clinical test indexes related to blood diseases.
6. What is the effect of propolis on hypertension?
Hypertension in some patients is caused by vascular aging, and hypertension is caused by high cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. With the growth of age, blood vessels, like other organs, gradually age and harden, thus increasing human blood pressure and promoting blood circulation. Excessive blood pressure will not only further accelerate arteriosclerosis, but also lead to the danger of thrombosis or cerebral artery rupture.
Continuous administration of propolis is rich in flavonoids and has strong antioxidant capacity, which can not only reduce the harm of lipid peroxide to blood vessels and prevent arteriosclerosis, but also effectively reduce the content of triglycerides, reduce platelet aggregation, improve microcirculation, reduce excessive blood pressure and prevent accidents. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people, especially patients with hypertension, heart disease and arteriosclerosis, often eat propolis, which is quite beneficial to health and longevity.
7. What is the effect of propolis on diabetic patients?
The so-called diabetes is due to insufficient secretion of insulin hormone, which leads to too much sugar in urine and produces urine sugar. Propolis can be said to be the patron saint of diabetic patients, because propolis has obvious functions of lowering blood fat, lowering blood sugar and softening blood vessels, which is of great significance to diabetic patients. Through years of clinical observation and extensive practical application by experts, diabetic patients insist on taking propolis extract, which can have the following benefits:
(1) Lowering blood lipid, softening blood vessels and improving microcirculation can prevent vision loss and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications.
(2) Eliminate inflammation and prevent infectious complications. Diabetes patients have decreased immunity, and their blood contains a lot of sugar, which is easy to be infected by germs and cause inflammation. Sticking to taking propolis can not only eliminate toxins in the body, but also effectively treat various infections, so that the symptoms that have not been cured for a long time can be controlled.
(3) Propolis has a good clinical effect of lowering blood sugar.
(4) It can enhance immunity, physical fitness and quality of life.
(5) Restore physical fitness and eliminate the symptoms of "three more and one less".
How long does propolis take to treat diabetes?
Using propolis to treat diabetes, different patients have different cure times. Clinically, about 39% patients' blood sugar index can return to normal within 1 week, and 94.7% patients have achieved the effect of treating both the symptoms and root causes within two months after taking propolis. Generally speaking, diabetes is an organic disease, which needs long-term prevention and treatment, and during the treatment, blood sugar will fluctuate with mood, diet, exercise, dose and so on. The fluctuation of blood sugar is not terrible, but the occurrence of complications. It is very important to prevent and treat complications at ordinary times. Treating diabetes with propolis requires long-term persistence. Only by improving the sick body, strengthening the physique and restoring the damaged organs can the patients be completely eliminated.
Why does propolis have a good effect on diabetes?
Propolis can lower blood sugar, prevent and treat diabetes and its complications in the following ways:
(1) Flavonoids and terpenoids in propolis have obvious hypoglycemic effects.
(2) The broad-spectrum antibacterial effect of propolis and its promotion of tissue regeneration are also the main reasons for effective treatment of various infections;
(3) Propolis is a strong natural antioxidant, which can significantly improve SOD activity. Taking propolis can not only reduce the damage of free radicals to cells, but also prevent and treat various complications;
(4) Propolis can enhance the efficacy. When the effect of insulin injection or general hypoglycemic drugs is not good, propolis can be added, which can greatly improve the efficacy and obviously reduce blood sugar;
(5) Propolis can reduce blood lipid, improve blood circulation, resist oxidation and protect blood vessels, which is an important reason for controlling diabetes and all complications;
(6) Flavonoids, glycosides and other substances in propolis can enhance the activity of ATPase, which is an important source of human energy and has the functions of supplying energy and restoring physical strength;
(7) Flavonoids and polysaccharides in propolis can regulate metabolism and enhance immunity, which is an important basis for improving disease resistance, improving overall quality and preventing complications; (8) Propolis is rich in trace elements and plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes.
8. Propolis can regulate immunity and purify blood.
Propolis can enhance the immune system, enhance the vitality of immune cells, and regulate the specific and non-specific immune functions of the body.
Proved by the national authoritative organization, propolis health care products have immune regulation function. It can obviously enhance the phagocytosis of macrophages and the activity of natural killer cells, increase the production of antibodies, significantly enhance the cellular immune function and humoral immune function, produce strong functional regulation on thymus, spleen and the whole immune system, enhance the disease resistance and self-healing ability of human body, and make people not get sick and get sick less.
As we all know, influenza is caused by influenza virus infection. Whether a person is infected with the flu is related to his immunity. Propolis can inactivate influenza virus and enhance immunity. People who insist on eating propolis rarely get flu, which is a powerful example. Medical motto says: saints can cure diseases before they occur.
Propolis can enhance cardiac contractility, deepen breathing, regulate blood pressure, purify blood and regulate blood lipids.
The research and clinical practice of experts all over the world have proved that propolis can obviously regulate high blood finger, high cholesterol and high blood viscosity, prevent the increase of collagen fibers in arterial blood vessels and the accumulation of cholesterol in liver, prevent atherosclerosis, effectively remove deposits on the inner wall of blood vessels, prevent thrombosis, protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and improve blood circulation and hematopoietic function. Because propolis has the miraculous effect of purifying blood, it is called "vascular scavenger".
9, propolis skin care and beauty and antioxidant function
There is an old saying in China, "Eat by your face". It is about the relationship between diet, nutrition and beauty. Beauty and charm come from healthy body. Traditional Chinese medicine thought: warm face, lung hair, spleen hair, stomach and intestines are embellished, and it talks about the dialectical relationship between sound organ function and beauty.
Propolis is a natural beauty substance, which can be eaten or used externally. Eating propolis can comprehensively regulate organ function, repair pathological damage of organs and tissues, eliminate inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, regulate endocrine, improve blood circulation, and promote blood circulation of subcutaneous tissues, so as to prevent and treat skin lesions, decompose pigmentation, reduce wrinkles, eliminate acne, acne, dermatitis and eczema, and create beauty from the body on the basis of comprehensively improving physical fitness. Because the skin tissue has recovered its physiological balance and vitality, it makes the skin look natural, beautiful, delicate, smooth and elastic. Propolis for external use has the functions of nourishing and moistening skin, preventing freezing, preventing cracking, sterilizing, diminishing inflammation, relieving itching, relieving pain, stopping bleeding, resisting infection and promoting tissue regeneration.
At low concentration, propolis has strong antioxidant capacity, which can significantly improve the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Using oxygen is the basic feature of life movement. However, the process of oxygen metabolism will constantly produce free radicals, and the excess free radicals will act on the lipid substances in the cell membrane and blood to form lipid peroxides, which will be deposited on the cell membrane, making the membrane function lose and the cell vitality decline. The aging process of the body stems from the damage of free radicals to cells and tissues. With the increase of age, the redox ability and the function of the protection system decline, and the generation and elimination of free radicals will lose balance, and free radicals will destroy long-term accumulation, leading to aging and death.
Propolis is recognized as a natural antioxidant, which can stabilize and scavenge free radicals, reduce the production and deposition of lipid peroxide and lipofuscin, protect cell membrane, enhance cell vitality, regulate organ and tissue functions, and effectively delay aging.
10, the anticancer effect of propolis
When the immune function is out of balance and the immunity declines, carcinogens induce abnormal mutation of normal cells, escape immune surveillance, and proliferate rapidly in the body to form malignant tumors. Propolis has a broad anticancer spectrum, which can inhibit the metabolic activity of carcinogens, enhance the activity of normal cell membranes, decompose fibrin around cancer cells, and prevent normal cells from canceration or cancer cell metastasis. Propolis can identify and kill cancer cells by strengthening the immune monitoring function and enhancing the activity of natural killer cells and phagocytes.
After taking propolis, patients who have undergone surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can reduce the toxic and side effects, have a normal appetite, enhance the body's immunity, and gradually form the internal motivation to overcome cancer.
Propolis can repair and protect immune organs and tissues, and prevent the decrease of spleen cell number and thymosin activity. Propolis is beneficial to the growth and metabolism of renal cells and can promote the division and proliferation of renal cells. Propolis can enhance the enzyme activity in liver tissue and regulate the function of liver cells.
Propolis effectively regulates the physiological functions of human organs and tissues, forms the situation of biological response regulation, and builds the foundation of anti-cancer.
1 1, the anti-fatigue function of propolis
Propolis can increase the activity of adenosine triphosphate (AT P enzyme), thus producing more AT P and releasing energy during metabolism, so it is called the source of energy and vitality. The body is full of energy, the metabolism of the body is smooth, and the metabolic waste in the body can be effectively removed, which can restore people's physical strength and make people full of vitality and vitality.
Propolis and gastrointestinal diseases
The main pathogens of gastrointestinal diseases are Helicobacter pylori, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Proteus, Escherichia coli and so on. Propolis is a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic, which has a significant effect on the above pathogenic bacteria. After eating propolis, patients with enteritis, gastritis and gastric ulcer can quickly diminish inflammation and relieve pain, the ulcer heals, and the infection of Helicobacter pylori turns negative.
Eating propolis for patients with gastrointestinal diseases is not only mild and effective, but also will not cause imbalance of parasitic flora in digestive tract.
13, Propolis and Female Climacteric Disorder
Female menopause is a transitional period in which ovarian function gradually declines until it disappears, which is caused by the aging of the sexual center in the hypothalamus of diencephalon. Climacteric disorder is caused by endocrine disorder and autonomic nervous dysfunction. Usually manifested as mental fatigue, irritability, sexual dysfunction and signs of aging organs and tissues, bringing great pain to patients. At present, the effects of commonly used drugs are not ideal. Propolis is rich in nutrients and active substances, which can enhance cell activity, promote tissue regeneration, resist bacteria and inflammation, repair damaged tissues and organs and their functions, promote endocrine activities and regulate autonomic nerve function.
Endocrine system is an important physiological activity regulation system of the body, which consists of endocrine glands and tissues with hormone secretion function. Propolis plays a very important role in endocrine system.
Propolis can relieve or eliminate menopausal symptoms of women and improve sexual function. It is commendable that propolis is effective not only for women, but also for men.
