Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees from the axillary buds, flower buds, and wounds of new shoots of glue source plants.
The raw material for bees to produce propolis is the secretion of glue source plants - resinous substances. Collecting resin is a arduous, arduous, and highly skilled labor for bees, and is generally performed by mature bees, known as "bees collecting glue".
Their task is to collect, process, transform and utilize propolis. Under normal circumstances, a colony with tens of thousands of bees can only collect about 0.2 grams of resinous substances every day. After repeated processing by the bees, it is converted into propolis, which shows the preciousness of propolis.
Modern research has proved that the rich and unique bioactive substances contained in propolis make it have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, antioxidant, immune-enhancing, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-tumor and other functions. The role of medical treatment and health care has now become a hot spot of scientific research in various countries, and has become a highly respected emerging health care product.
Among them, the following groups are especially suitable for taking propolis:
1. Diabetes and three high patients;
2. People with low immunity;
3. Gastrointestinal patients;
4. Patients with rhinitis;
5. Those who are easily fatigued;
6. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients;
