Propolis is a
product created by honey bees; they collect sap from buds
and bark of coniferous trees, sometimes called bee glue,
and carry it home in their pollen baskets. They blend it
with wax flakes secreted from special glands on their abdomens.
A major breakthrough
in the quest for an all-natural product has been announced.
Known as propolis, this beehive product was known to ancients
but not until recently has it been used by modern scientists
in nutritional professions. So far 17 chemical substances
in propolis have been described, some of which are: cinnamic
acid, vanillin and an aromatic unsaturated acid characterized
by antibacterial effects on certain gram-positive and gram-negative
micro organisms.
Propolis is
another medicinal marvel from the beehive. Research shows
it offers antiseptic, antibiotic, antibacterial, antifungal,
and even antiviral properties. Propolis is Nature's premiere
preventive. It is so powerful in action; it is often called
Russian penicillin in acknowledgement of the extensive research
the Russians have mounted on this wonder worker from the
bees. Propolis demonstrates strong antimicrobial properties
against various bacterial and fungal infestations. Even
streptococcus bacteria have been shown sensitive to propolis.
