What is the function of propolis?
"Zijin"-a fragrant colloidal solid, is made by mixing resin (gum) collected by bees from plant spores or tree trunks with secretions of palatal glands and wax glands. The output of propolis is very low. Generally, a group of bees with 30,000-50,000 bees can only collect 1-2 grams of propolis a day, so it is very precious. People call it "Zijin" or "soft gold" The most representative flavonoids are quercetin and rutin. Quercetin has the effects of dilating coronary vessels, reducing blood lipid, lowering blood pressure and preventing platelet aggregation. Has antitussive, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiviral effects. Rutin has vitamin P-like effect, which can soften capillaries, enhance capillary permeability, lower cholesterol and prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular sclerosis. Traditional Chinese medicine has eight functions: 1, which regulates the pre-immunity function, obviously enhances the phagocytosis function of monocytes and the humoral regulation function, thus enhancing the disease resistance and self-healing ability of human body; 2. Antibacterial effect, which can inhibit and kill various pathogenic microorganisms, such as Helicobacter pylori, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Proteus, etc. It is a precious natural broad-spectrum antibiotic; 3. Purify blood function. Propolis can obviously regulate hyperlipidemia, high cholesterol and high blood viscosity, prevent and treat atherosclerosis, effectively remove deposits on the inner wall of blood vessels, reduce the probability of thrombosis, protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and improve blood circulation and hematopoietic function; 4. Inhibit cell mutation. Propolis contains flavonoids, polysaccharides, enzymes, terpenes, organic acids and other natural substances, which can inhibit the metabolic activity of cancer cells, enhance the activity of normal cell membranes, decompose fibrin around cells, and prevent normal cells from canceration or cancer cell metastasis. ; 5. Reduce hepatotoxicity. Propolis has broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, which can not only kill hepatitis virus, but also inhibit virus replication in liver cells. Flavonoids and other substances in propolis have a strong protective effect on the liver, while terpenes can reduce transaminase, promote hepatocyte regeneration and prevent cirrhosis; 6. Maintenance of stomach and intestines Clinical practice at home and abroad shows that stomachache gradually disappears after patients with gastritis and gastric ulcer take propolis. After most patients insisted on taking propolis, the ulcer healed and Helicobacter pylori infection turned negative. Most notably, taking propolis will not cause negative effects such as diet loss and flora imbalance; 7. Anti-fatigue propolis can improve the activity of triphosphatase, thus producing more ATP. In the process of metabolism, releasing energy can restore people's physical strength and make people full of energy and vigor; 8. Hypoglycemic propolis contains trypsin and other active enzymes and antiviral components, which has obvious effect on restoring pancreatic function; Flavonoids and terpenoids in propolis can promote the synthesis of glycogen from exogenous glucose and regulate blood sugar in both directions. Applicable people: 1. People with low immunity and easy fatigue. 2. People who are weak, susceptible to infection and have long-lasting inflammation. 3. People with high blood lipids. 4. Early cancer patients.
