Recipe and use of propolis ointment. Homeopathic ointment based on propolis: therapeutic effect and application

I took a course for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. I did as recommended at the “Veselyi Shershen” apiary - 2 courses with a break. In the first month of taking it, I felt some changes in the prostate, but the inflammation did not completely go away. After taking the second course, I began to feel much better. It's been 8 months now that I haven't had any problems with my prostate. I am very grateful to you for your products and for the advice provided.

Thank you Dmitry and Olga for your products, and especially for eye drops. I have been suffering from glaucoma for many years. The disease is progressing, but thanks to your drops I feel that the progress has decreased and I can see a little better. It's a pity they don't cure this disease, but thank you very much for this.

For a long time I was looking for suppositories for hemorrhoids on a natural basis, since in the pharmacy very often the suppositories include some kind of chemical preparation. I saw that at the family apiary Vesely Hornet the composition included only cocoa butter and propolis. I was very happy and ordered it immediately. I was pleased with the candles - the problem was not completely solved, but the progress was significant.

I have been switching to natural cosmetics for many years now. I do some of it myself, getting information on the Internet, and I buy some of it. But I am simply delighted with your nourishing cream. I use it constantly on both my face and hands. And now our family has the same honey soap all the time. We wouldn't exchange it for a supermarket.

Thank you very much, Olga, for recommending a delicious product – wax moth infusion. My child (a girl of 7 years) was constantly ill with inflammation of the bronchi and we often spent many hours in medicine, in which they did not give anything other than antibiotics. I started looking for folk ways to treat bronchitis and found you. My child began to feel less sick and to cope with illness more easily. Also apply this kind of bee bread for immunity.

Kanonenko Olga

He suffered a serious crisis and suffered a stroke. My daughter found information that wax moth helps with this problem for recovery. Having called, we received advice that it is better to take a course of wax moth with tincture of deadwood. And so they did. I've been taking it for 4 months now. Changes on the face. But for full recovery I want to take it for another 2-3 months. Thank you and your bees for the good products.

As a nursing mother, while feeding her child, a problem with lactation appeared at 6 months. I read that Apilak based on helps very well royal jelly, but pure royal jelly has an even stronger effect. We ordered from a family apiary this product. And after 4 days of taking it, milk resumed in the required volume, and after 2 weeks of taking it I had to express the excess. I really liked your product. Now I’m thinking about a course to boost immunity. Thanks for the help.

Many thanks to the bees and the Happy Hornet. I've been sick for many years diabetes mellitus. Apart from medications and special nutrition, nothing helps in life. But I'm an optimist and I'm still trying to study in a healthy way life. When buying acacia honey from Dmitry, he advised me to purchase a tincture of dead bees to lower sugar. I bought it with little confidence. And she didn’t do it in vain. After 1 month, sugar began to rise less frequently (more often it was her own fault, since she did not follow the diet). I've been drinking for 3 months now. I feel much better. Some kind of efficiency even appeared. Dmitry, thank you so much.

Lakuta Valentina

Dmitro, thank you very much for the delicious dormouse honey and for the weeding honey. We lived from afar and throughout the winter our entire great homeland was not ill. Only a little onuk. For the coming season, I will definitely start again from afar.

Dashko Ivan

I have been suffering from sinusitis for many years. As soon as he got through, he became a regular “client” of the hospital. While ordering honey at the “Veselyi Shershen” apiary, I saw Stop Sinusitis ointment and decided to try it, since the price was quite affordable. And after 2 weeks of use I saw improvements. I began to feel better with my chronic advanced sinusitis. I recommend.

Pakhomov Sergey

He underwent treatment at the family apiary “Vesely Hornet” for the treatment of prostate adenoma. Happened severe inflammation from hypothermia and the prostate was severely inflamed. And the doctors diagnosed an enlarged adenoma. After 2 weeks of taking the course, I felt that the inflammation had partially gone away. And after 2 months of taking it, the inflammation disappeared. The adenoma did not decrease after an ultrasound scan at the end of the course, but no increase was observed either. Thank you for the advice and help provided. I plan to take another course in the near future.

Igor Marchuk

After a year of treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis and drug resistance in the hospital, the doctor himself recommended trying wax moth tincture. I searched the Internet for a long time and settled on the family apiary “Vesely Hornet”, where I received a full consultation and, after receiving the products, were given instructions for use. I was also interested in the treatment regimen for wax moth tuberculosis with propolis tincture, since I had never heard of this anywhere else. After only 3 months of treatment, the disease progressed to closed form and by the 7th month the holes also disappeared. Now, being already healthy, I drink it prophylactically 3-4 times a year. Thanks for the second life.

Vladimir

My son has been suffering from psoriasis for many years and we have probably already tried half a pharmacy of medications for of this disease. Almost all of them either have no effect or cause allergies. I read that propolis ointment helps a lot. Having received advice from Olga that 40% propolis ointment copes well with this disease, we ordered it and were very pleased. Now we are only saved by her. And most importantly, there is an effect and there are no side effects of this product.

Since people learned to breed bees, the waste products of these beneficial insects began to be used in medicinal purposes. IN modern world apitherapy (from the Greek “apis” - bee) also received wide application both in folk and traditional medicine.

This article will discuss one of the valuable beekeeping products - propolis, its effect on the human body, contraindications for use, as well as drugs made on its basis.

Bee propolis

Propolis is a word of Greek origin (“pro” - before, “polis” - city, i.e. “Before the city”). This accurately characterizes this substance, since bees cover the entrances in front of the hive with it, which can be called the “city gate” of the bee’s habitat.
There are also other names - uz, bee glue. This is a sticky substance with a resinous consistency, dark brown, greenish, red, white and black.

At room temperature, propolis has a sticky consistency, and at lower temperatures it becomes brittle and hardens. Propolis melts at a temperature of 70 °C, and hardens and crumbles at 15 °C.

If you need to get a plastic substance, hold a piece in your palms.

Bees collect ouz from young resinous buds on poplar, birch, alder and other trees in the spring, and then ferment it. Insects seal the cracks with it, like a sealant, regulate the permeability of the entrance, and disinfect the honeycomb cells before the queen sows them with eggs.

Did you know? In a book on medical topics found by archaeologists from the library of Babylon, written 2700 BC, honey, propolis and other bee products are described as medicines.

pharmachologic effect

Propolis has many pharmacological properties, as it contains organic acids, antibiotics, mineral salts, amino acids, trace elements and vitamins.

It contains up to 50 connections: various resins, balms, essential oils, wax, pollen. Thanks to the fact that the basis of this bee product are protective plant enzymes, it has unique abilities and capabilities.

Its anti-putrefactive, mummifying, bactericidal and embalming properties are known.

The antimicrobial ability of bee glue is determined by the substances that bees collect from poplar, birch, aspen and others medicinal plants. These substances can be more active than antibiotics because they have a detrimental effect even on bacteria that are resistant to them.

Propolis is capable of:

destroy Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, diphtheria and pseudomonas bacilli;
stop the growth of tuberculosis and the spread of typhus;
disinfect and heal various ulcers, non-healing wounds and infections in the mouth, throat, ears, nose;
help in the treatment of caries, various gum infections;
relieve dermatitis and burns;
heal chronic prostatitis in men and cervical erosion in women;
render positive influence on the stomach and intestines, respiratory system;
act as an analgesic;
heal deep cuts;
treat persistent allergies.

Propolis can perfectly cope with dental plaque and painful sensations when wearing dentures. To do this, you can simply chew a small piece of propolis, like chewing gum.

Bee glue can be called a natural antibiotic; it is non-toxic and has no side effects.

Propolis is especially successful in suppressing the following pathogenic bacteria and viruses:

herpes;
flu;
chicken pox;
hepatitis;
tuberculosis;
trichomoniasis;
candidiasis;
angina;
mycosis.

Important! If you take pure propolis internally for a long time, it can harm the liver and kidneys and provoke allergies.

Therapeutic effects of ointment based on propolis

Propolis-based ointment is very popular both in folk healing and in official medicine.

It is used for rubbing in diseases of the musculoskeletal system and colds, as well as for the treatment of various skin diseases.

It can be:

skin damage: abrasions, scratches, cracks, wounds;
herpes on the lips (cold);
trophic wounds and ulcers, including non-healing ones;
skin inflammation, acne, pimples, dermatoses accompanied by itching;
chronic neurodermatitis and eczema;
joint diseases, inflammatory processes in the musculoskeletal system;
ARVI, acute respiratory infections, bronchitis, others pulmonary diseases accompanied by a cough.

Propolis liniment (a product for external use) has high bactericidal, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and deodorizing properties.

Promotes skin regeneration, relieves itching and pain, strengthens internal and local immunity. Has proven itself to be reliable prophylactic for acute respiratory infections, as it actively kills germs.

The effectiveness of this propolis-based ointment is high at any stage of the disease with a respiratory infection.

As a means for rubbing, this drug helps to increase metabolism, which is why inflammation goes away faster, both in internal tissues, and on the skin outside.

Contraindications for use

The main contraindication for the use of propolis ointment is an allergy to bee products.

Because of hypersensitivity The following reactions to bee rubbing may occur:

skin rashes;
redness;
nasal congestion;
anaphylactic shock.

If any of these reactions occur, you must immediately wash the product off the victim’s skin or mucous membranes with running water. This must be done carefully and carefully to prevent damage to the skin.
If the product gets into your eyes, they also need to be washed with running water. Remove the product from the nasal mucosa with a cotton swab and rinse with saline solution.

If after applying the ointment from propolis, a person’s face, eyes, larynx and nose swell, it is necessary to call an ambulance medical care to avoid suffocation.

To eliminate symptoms, only injections of antihistamines are possible, since when taken in tablet form, a person may experience asphyxia due to the tablets getting stuck in the swollen throat.

Drug interactions

Propolis ointment is not medical drug, therefore there are no special indications about its negative interaction with other drugs.
The only thing you should pay attention to is that propolis can enhance the effect of other medications. For example, some antibiotics such as streptomycin and tetracycline. In relation to penicillin and chloramphenicol, such an effect is not observed.

Important! When propolis and antibiotics interact, probiotic therapy is not necessary, since intestinal microflora is not destroyed during its use.

Analogs

The pharmaceutical industry has developed and commercialized many analogues and variants of propolis ointment. The composition of such products, in addition to propolis, includes any fat base.

This can be petroleum jelly, animal fats - fish, badger, butter (if the ointment is prepared at home) and vegetable fats such as olive, sunflower, peach and other oils.
Depending on the effect on the body, additives in the form of honey, oleoresin, and bee venom may be present.

Here are some options for propolis ointment developed in pharmacology:

Ointment "Propoceum", active substance- propolis. Indications: chronic eczema, neurodermatitis, itchy dermatoses, trophic, long-term non-healing ulcers.

Ointment "Apilon", the active ingredient is propolis. Indications: burns, eczema, wounds, neurodermatitis, varicose ulcers, anal fissures, haemorrhoids.

Ointment "Propogeliant", the active ingredient is an emulsion of propolis, royal jelly and honey. Indications: treatment of pharyngitis.

Did you know? The physician Avicenna, who lived in the 9th century AD, in his medical treatise “The Canon of Medical Science” described propolis as a means of “pulling out” arrows from deep wounds. He also mentioned its cleansing and softening properties.

Other medicines based on propolis

In addition to ointments, pharmacy production produces drugs in the form of tinctures, oils, emulsions, extracts, drops, aerosols, suppositories, pastes and tablets. Many of these dosage forms also contain other bee products.

Let's briefly look at some of the drugs.

Water elixir. Propolis products water based have the highest bactericidal properties, since for this they take distilled water after ionization with silver. The shelf life of the water elixir does not exceed three months.

It helps well with the following problems:

diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
problems of the cardiovascular system;
gynecological diseases;
problems with the respiratory system;
disorders of the thyroid gland;
diabetes.

Treatment with an aqueous elixir should be carried out twice a year in courses of one month.

Alcohol tincture. Can retain bactericidal properties for a long time. If it undergoes high-quality cleaning from resinous impurities, it does not cause side effects.

It is used for the following diseases:

periodontal disease, stomatitis;
stomach ulcer, gallbladder disease, gastritis;
colds, flu conditions;
bronchopulmonary diseases;
bedsores, burns, fistulas;
low immunity;
muscle and joint pain;
for fractures;

illnesses nervous system;
thrombus formation.

Oil. Has a good bactericidal effect. It can relieve pain, relieve inflammation, increase the body's resistance, accelerate wound healing and recovery. It has proven itself well in anti-tuberculosis therapy and in restoring the skin from thermal and chemical burns. Treats sore throats, bronchitis, pneumonia, pharyngitis.
The oil should be taken three times a day, one teaspoon an hour before meals, until recovery occurs (one and a half to two months), after which a break is taken for two weeks, and if necessary, the course is repeated.

Pills. They usually contain 0.1 g of propolis base, they are good for ENT diseases and problems of the bronchi and lungs, diseases oral cavity, stomach and intestines, skin.

They have antibacterial and restorative properties. You need to take them three times a day, one tablet, and do not swallow, but dissolve in your mouth.

Ointments. Because of great content the fat base in them has less therapeutic and bactericidal effect than other agents. Vaseline, for example, is not absorbed by the skin, so it makes it difficult for active substances to pass through the dermis. It is better to purchase an ointment based on lanolin, vegetable fat or animal oil - their therapeutic effect much higher.

As already mentioned, they effectively treat skin diseases, frostbite, wounds, ulcers and burns.

Did you know? Propolis has a unique tart, spicy taste with bitterness. The shades of taste depend on what plants the bees collected nectar from, what time of year, and even how they felt at that time.
