Raw propolis, bee citric resin

Description

Raw propolis, bee kit resin

“Propolis, also called advance, tamping wax, bee resin, bee glue, bee kit resin, putty resin, or putty wax, is a resinous mass produced by bees with antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal properties.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Depending on the need, the substance is available as a tincture in the shop.

“The antibiotic effects of aqueous and alcoholic propolis extracts as well as individual propolis ingredients were demonstrated in the agar dilution test and agar diffusion test against Gram-positive and Gram-negative germs. In addition, an antiviral effect against rhinoviruses and herpes viruses was observed in the plaque reduction test. Propolis has a growth-inhibiting effect on Candida albicans and skin fungi (dermatophytes).

Propolis showed bactericidal, antifungal and virostatic effects in animal experiments on mice. Some of the effects are considered comparable to those of flavonoids. The antibacterial effects are attributed to pinocembrin and galangin, and the antifungal and virostatic effects to pinocembrin and caffeic acid esters – especially caffeic acid 2-phenylethyl ester.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Warning:

Propolis can cause allergic reactions in individual cases.
