Also pay attention to Aristotle! Used as a treatment for infectious diseases in ancient Greece and ancient Rome
Propolis is a substance produced by bees by mixing resin with their own secretions such as beeswax and saliva.
Bees apply propolis to the cracks in the walls of their hives to protect them from decay and microbial damage. The reason that tens of thousands of bees live together and that no mold grows in their warm, humid hives is thanks to the antibacterial and antiviral effects of propolis.
Humans first noticed the power of propolis and began to utilize it a long time ago, several hundred years ago. in ancient egyptPreventing mummy decompositionIt was used in
In addition, the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote about propolis in his book Zoology.Medications for skin diseases, cuts, and infectionsIn addition to this, there are records of propolis being used in the same way in ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
In Europe and South America, propolis has been used as a medicine since ancient times and is still used today to maintain health.
On the other hand, propolis has only recently started to attract attention in Japan compared to the rest of the world. The usefulness of propolis was announced at the 30th International Beekeeping Congress held in 1985, and its existence became known to the general public. Furthermore, in 1991, a research group at the then National Institute of Preventive Health (currently the National Institute of Infectious Diseases) made an announcement that further increased interest in propolis.
Expected to have various effects on dementia, diabetes, allergies, etc.
The ingredients of propolis vary depending on the region due to the different types of plants and bees used as raw materials, but the two main useful ingredients are ``flavonoids'' and ``cinnamic acid derivatives.'' It also contains vitamins such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin E, and folic acid, and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc.
Flavonoids, one of the main components of propolis, are substances produced by plants to protect themselves from UV rays and pests, and have strong antioxidant effects. Another main ingredient, cinnamic acid derivatives, has been shown to have antibacterial and antioxidant effects.
*Antioxidant action: the ability to remove active oxygen and suppress oxidation. Active oxygen is useful for the human body in small amounts, but when produced in large quantities, it damages cells and causes arteriosclerosis, cancer, aging, and a decline in immune function.
Currently, the effectiveness of propolis on the human body is
・Suppresses the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi
・Suppresses inflammation associated with pain, swelling, and heat, and aids in wound healing
This possibility has been scientifically shown.
In recent years, the following reports have been made from ongoing research on propolis.
・Promotes nerve repair (hopes for prevention of dementia)
・Prevention of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes
・Suppresses body fat accumulation
・Prevention of hay fever
・Improves allergic itching
Propolis, a “natural antibiotic” produced by bees, is truly a mystery of nature. It's great that it not only has antibacterial and antiviral effects, but also helps maintain health in a wide range of ways.
*Precautions when using propolis
If you experience any physical discomfort, we recommend that you stop taking it immediately and go to the hospital. Please refrain from using this product, especially if you are allergic to bees or bee products, or if you have bronchial asthma.
