He also concluded that other benefits include improved physical, intellectual and sexual performance as well as making injured tissue heal faster.
The study also concluded that propolis is not a toxic substance.
Treat Burns
But it also has another added benefit. It reduces inflammation of the burnt skin.
Believed to be a result of a substance called arginine, other studies have also supported this finding.
These studies have also concluded that propolis also stimulates enzyme systems, cell metabolism, circulation and collagen formation.
Increase Fertility
Potential Cancer Drug
The study expose rats to cancer chemical agents and study the effects of rats given propolis and those without the propolis diet. It found that caffeic acids in the bee product prevented the formation of pre cancerous tissues in rats.
Another study done in 1990 had also reported that propolis acted against ovary cancer in hamster and sarcoma-type tumors in mice.

Dental care
A study done in 1991 showed that rats given propolis in their drinking water had less caries compared to other rats.
Another study done in 1986 also proposed the bee product as a subsidiary treatment for gum infection and plague.
You can read the latest study on the use of Brazilian Propolis to treat periodontitis here.
Protecting Liver
Improve Antibiotic Effectiveness
This finding could help reduce the number of side effects associated with antibiotics and lower the over dependency on antibiotics by doctors.
Veterinary Applications
A study done in 1987 showed that 5 ml of propolis solution given to milk-fed calves helped achieve the above results.
Studies done on rabbits have also showed that the bee substance also helped treat coccidiosis, eimeria and mastitis.
Other medical benefits of propolis
All these were achieved without any side effects.

I want to know about the effect of propolis on genetics diseases…any one ?
also.. is propolis available in liquid form?
Yes it is and if you can not find it you can make it yourself easily with alcohol. Look online “how to make propolis tincture” its super easy and much cheaper (usually) if you make it yourself from the gummy resin. Good luck
hi
i having taking propolis seens 2011 Mar and i am wondering if this could help for monopause
Royal Jelly is better for treating menopause,PMS, post menopause conditions as it is rich in hormones. Another excellent natural remedy is Chaste Berry tincture…. if you were to use the two together your symptoms will virtually disappear. I speak from personal experience. Royal Jelly has removed the hot flashes for me and Chaste Berry has removed those horrible mood swings. Good luck.
I just tried propolis for the first time today. Someone from Cuba sent me a bottle of honey with propolis. Imagine this…. My nose was really stuffy! A few minutes after I took a table spoon of that stuff, I sneezed, my nose started running, and my nasal passages are clearing up? Can’t wait to see what ha;ppens in a day or two! God is truly amazing with the miraculous benefits of nature! It’s just a matter of discovering them!!!
I’m going to try propolis. I hope to reduce my hair loss.
I heard from my client that propolis is good for skin as well. Is that true?

When we think of bees, honey and pollen are foremost in our thoughts. Yet another important substance, propolis, is a sticky resin collected by bees. Honeybees collect and metabolize the propolis, then line their hives with it to protect the hive. It’s so effective, the interior of the bee hive has been found to be safer than most operating rooms. The name Propolis is derived from the Greek meaning “before the city,” signifying that propolis defended the entire community from external threat. Propolis has a 5000-year history. The Assyrians and the Greeks used propolis to help maintain good health. Fortified with royal jelly, Forever Bee Propolis is an excellent way to help support the body’s natural defenses.
Pollen is the fertilizing dust of flowers. Bees gather and bring it back to their hives for food. Without pollen, plants, trees and flowers could not exist; even we depend on it.
Forever Bee Pollen® is gathered in specially-designed stainless steel collectors from the blossoms that blanket remote, high desert regions. This ensures the freshest and most potent natural food. Forever Bee Pollen is all-natural and contains no preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors.
This stuff, is hands down a miracle.
I´ve not been sick for more than 2 days since I started using propolis, a couple of drops propolis (got pure propolis from a beekeeper close nearby, mixed 50/50 with alcohol) and I´m fine the morning after.
And even the deepest wounds heal within days, not weeks.
Propolis even saved my dog that got problem with his liver, the vets said there is nothing they can do and that I should have him put down (11 years old), but I refused and started giving him propolis, he´s as a 3 year old dog now, 2 months later, all the symptoms of pain and nausea has dissapeared and his life quality improved by thousandfold.
I have aluminum toxicity, I have been told that bee propolis can counteract the damaging effects of aluminum. Is there any studies on this?
George,
As far as I know, there are no scientific proofs that propolis could do that.

Propolis is such a good natural-antioxidant and anti-degenarative. Use it in average dosage of 1400 mg/day.
There is good propolis product that produce in Indonesia, from Ratu Nusantara, Co.Ltd

I am a bee keeper and I am saving as much propolis as I can. I now have about 10 pounds of this stuff. I think I might just start taking some of this stuff myself.
I am an esthetician and I have been using propolis for treating acne. all I have to say is that it is amazing!!!
do you use it topically or orally for acne?
I am very impressed with propolis for treating a sore throat. I used 10 drops of propolis tincture in 1 teaspoon of honey. (I mixed it with a toothpick on a spoon.) Put it right on your tongue and avoid getting it on your teeth, because the liquid form has a sap-like consistency. My sore throat felt better almost immediately. I repeated this 2x a day for 3 days. I also found that mixing 1/4-1/2teaspoon of cinnamon helped the taste tremendously; cinnamon also has amazing healing properties for sore throats, and cold and flu symptoms.
my mother is very beautiful
I was washing the dishes and absentmindedly grab the dishes which was soaked in a basin of water. Unfortunately, there was a very sharp knife in it. Blood just gushed out from my middle finger. The blood flow was so strong that I grabbed a cup and let the blood dripped into it so as not to messed up the floor. I put pressure below the cut to stop the flow, but the cup was almost a half-full in few seconds. I start to become scared and confused, what if it will not stop.I called my son who immediately tied a string below the cut, but the blood was still flowing.I scanned my brain fast for anything that I could use, suddenly remembered that I have some bee propolis, somebody told me that it is an antibiotic,I said, “that might help”. I asked my son to bring it and I just dipped my middle finger into it, coating it fully. I was surprised by the immediate effect. The blood flow stopped and there was no pain at all. I just put a band aid and that was it. After a short time, maybe after a day or two, I removed the band aid and it was healed completely, I cannot even see where was the cut!
I was sold to it completely. Now if I felt that cold or flu was coming, I just take a teaspoon or two with honey and thank God for it, the next day I will feel better. I hope this will help.
I suffer from Gastro-Esopsageal Reflux Dosease (GERD)This is cause by mild chronic Gastritis at esophageal Junction. can Propolis help to heal the the imflamation or erosion there ?

I have used bee propolis and bee pollen for the past two months to treat endometriosis. I was diagnosed 6 years ago and have had fertility problems as well as abnormal vaginal discharge for the past 7 years.

Hi Doctor Hasan,
I have been researching propolis for the last 3 years and have written extensively on the merits of this wonderful product from the bees, The Defender of the Hive.
Propolis has been shown and proved to have Antibiotic, Anti-inflammatory, Antifungal, Antioxident AND Anti-viral properties all rolled into one.
Seven days prior to any flight, long or short haul I always take 2x 1000 mg capsules daily(no after taste) to boost my immune system as I am prone to respiratory infections, this always works for me.
As to preventing swine flu H1N1 virus I don’t know but its worth a try!
The Russians have used this product for decades now and it has become to be known as ‘Russian Penicillin’
James Fearnley from the UK is the acknowledged expert and author of the book “Bee Propolis” (Souvenir Press)ISBN 0 285 63522 a really fascinating read.
If you have an allergic reaction to bee stings or honey take care, reactions occur in approx 1 person in 1000.
I am not sure if I have H1N1 or Bronchitis; however, I remembered that I had bought some propolis in the Spring and recalled that it could be taken internally. Upon reading the literature that came with it, I started taking one recommended dose at night before bed. Within 1/2 hr. I would feel better. After 4 doses my problem started to break. The taste is terrible, but I think it works.
Is there any proven efficacy for the propolis in treatment of swine flu or the H1N1 virus…..Urgent plz
Propolis can be used on wounds. I’m not sure if there’s similar benefits to bruises.
My father takes cumadin, and easily bruises.Could he use Bee Propolis on his skin to help heal the bruises?
