Propolis is a product formed from resinous substances collected by bees in tree
bark, buds, or other parts of plant tissue. These resins are carried
to the hive where saliva and wax is added, distributing the chemical
composition of Propolis in the following proportion: 55% plant resins,
30% wax, 8-10% essential oils; 5% pollen. This resin is applied around
the hive to keep intruders out. Based on this fact it is believed that
a hive is as sterile as a surgery room in the best hospitals.
While bees use Propolis as a true chemical weapon, for humans it
is a natural antibiotic that is non-toxic and has no side effects!
Propolis
has been the subject of intense scientific research over the past
30 years. But researchers have only recently become interested
in the
chemical variations of Propolis collected in different geographic
regions, and discovered that the anti-inflammatory (inhibiting
the growth of
pathogenic bacteria), antifungal (inhibiting the growth of fungi),
antiviral (inhibiting the multiplication of viruses) , antioxidant
(combating free radicals responsible for human aging), and immunomodulatory
(protecting our immune system) properties are relatively constant
in samples from different regions of the planet. However, Brazilian
Propolis
has attracted the attention of scientists worldwide for showing substances
with higher hepatoprotective (protecting the liver) activity and
anti-HIV (combating AIDS) components.
Yet Propolis is constantly surprising scientists. Further to displaying
a huge list of therapeutic properties, laboratory tests in Europe
have proved that Propolis
is able to act synergistically with antibiotics and antifungals. This suggests
that Propolis is able to potentialize the effects of these drugs. The World
Health Organization - WHO has included Propolis as part of its
Nutrition and Health
program.
Wax Green is constantly attentive to researches carried out on Propolis
at universities in Brazil and abroad to better understand the biological
effects of its active
components, in order to guide our customers as best as we can. We commercialize
the best Propolis in Brazil, from the careful selection of raw material to
final production and packaging. All of our Propolis products are
presented in different
concentrations and packages for specific purposes.
ATTENTION: While
using Propolis do not abandon the conventional treatment or medication
prescribed by your
doctor. In case of allergy, discontinue use immediately.
