Hello there!
Hope I am not bothering you much.
I am here to present to you a new kind of product.
It is an awesome substance that kills all types of viruses, fungal infections and bacteria.
It’s called Propolis.
Honey isn't the only thing we get from bees, Propolis is another.
Today, we are going to talk about all the reasons you should use it.
Let’s begin!
#1 It Has Polyphenols
What if I told you that Propolis can heal?
According to researchers, there are many healing compounds available in Propolis.
The compounds are called Polyphenols,
antioxidants that help your body to fight disease and infection.
The most well-recognized Polyphenol that Propolis contains is flavonoid.
It is mainly found in fruits and vegetables including oranges,
grapefruit, broccoli and green tea.
Apart from that, flavonoids can also be found in red wine.
It's antimicrobial properties protect our bodies from bacterial infections.
Another interesting thing about flavonoids is that
they reduce the risk of heart diseases, strokes and cancer.
They also play an important role in protecting the brain.
Speaking of which, here is another reason to use Propolis.
#2 It Heals Wounds
Continuing from where we left off in the last point,
we already talked about the flavonoids that Propolis has.
One of them is pinocembrin, which has anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
Thus proving to be a catalyst when it comes to healing wounds.
Researchers were astounded when they found out that Propolis promotes new healthy cell growth.
This in turn helps recover from injuries and burns at a faster rate.
Sounds awesome, right?
Wait, we aren't done yet.
Another study found that Propolis was very effective
in reducing mast cells in an oral surgery wounds.
This is also one of the other reasons it is able to speed up the healing process.
In case you are wondering,
mast cells are responsible for inflammation and slow wound healing.
If they are allowed to stay, a wound takes longer time to heal.
If you are unlucky, it could cause a major infection.
The next point is a big win for Propolis by a gargantuan margin.
#3 It Can TREAT Cancer
You heard that absolutely right and we aren't talking about the zodiac sign, Cancer.
Propolis has been found to have certain effects on cancerous cells.
One of the most notable being that it can stop them from multiplying.
This would make it impossible for cancerous cells to grow and spread inside your body.
That is not all though.
It can also reduce the probability of your cells becoming cancerous.
This would mean that it can reduce your risk of being affected by this disease.
More importantly, it can also stop cancer cells from signaling each other.
In other words, cancer cells have a hard time dealing with Propolis.
Keep in mind that it is not a proper cure for cancer.
Instead it can be used as a complementary form of therapy.
As a matter of fact, one study found that Chinese Propolis is
extremely effective as a complementary therapy for breast cancer patients.
This is mainly because of its anti-tumor effects on the breast cancer cells.
Moving on, here is another reason to use Propolis…
#4 Very Effective Against Genital Herpes
Known as one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases,
Genital Herpes is a nightmare no one should deal with.
It is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus.
It isn't the only problem though.
It comes along with another.
I’m talking about cold sores.
Cold sores are caused by the same virus,
but instead of attacking your private area, they affect your mouth.
Both of these are caused by viruses and therefore can be
transferred from one person to another through contact.
How can Propolis help in this case?
Well, it has been observed to be effective against both cold sores and genital herpes.
Applying Propolis ointments reduces pain and helps to heal the wounds.
The same ointments also reduce the pain that is caused by genital herpes.
Some researchers also argue that Propolis can heal genital herpes faster than traditional medicine.
While that is a bold claim, we don't have enough evidence to prove it.
Anyway, let's go to the next point.
#5 Good For Your Vagina
While men may not understand, many women often have to deal with vaginal swelling.
Unfortunately, it is still a taboo subject in certain societies.
As a result, women have to deal with their problems on their own.
There is one thing that can help them in their lonely quest.
Propolis has been seen to reduce issues regarding vaginal swelling.
Once again, it is the antibacterial and
antimicrobial properties of Propolis that come into play.
It fights bacteria and prevents the infection from spreading.
So ladies, Propolis is your new best friend.
Of course, you would need more convincing than that.
Don't worry, we have got you covered.
According to a research, it has been found that if you can apply 5% of
Propolis solution in your vagina for 7 days, it would reduce your swelling.
So next time you visit the grocery store, make sure that you buy Propolis.
More power to you!
#6 Reduces Respiratory Infections
We have all faced one or the other form of respiratory infection.
Whether it is in the form of a cough or cold.
Respiratory infection usually starts with an inflammation
caused by bacteria and other microorganisms.
If the infection isn't dealt with straight away it may lead to major diseases.
Of course, there are many medicines available for this but most of them have their own side-effects.
On the other hand, Propolis is an antibacterial powerhouse and
can decimate any type of infection that may have been affecting your respiratory system.
There has also been a study on this and it
was found that it can be used as an antibacterial therapy.
Another thing to keep in mind are the anti-inflammatory properties of
Propolis, which are extremely efficient in prohibiting an inflammation from developing.
So, now you have another reason to like Propolis.
Still not sure whether or not you should go for Propolis?
Well, I don't blame you.
There is always a lot to learn, just like the next point.
#7 Controls Blood Sugar
If you thought being able to help with the treatment of cancer was
good enough then here is another surprise.
Because of the abundance of flavonoids,
Propolis has the ability to regulate the blood sugar in your body.
It doesn't allow the sugar levels of your blood to spike.
Therefore, if you are diabetic then this is one of the best things for you.
Although, it neither improves insulin resistance
and nor does it affect the insulin levels of your body.
So, it is not an alternative for your medicine.
This means you would have to take your medicines as prescribed by the doctor.
Propolis is something that you can take as a catalyst to your medicines.
That way it would help you even more in dealing with diabetes.
Another thing you should consider before you decide to try Propolis to treat diabetes or
for that matter any other problem, is that it may have certain side-effects.
While these side-effects are avoidable, it is still better to stay cautious.
After all, it is always better to be safe at first than to be sorry later.
So, let's take a look at these side-effects.
#1 Can Cause an Oral Allergic Reaction
If you are ingesting Propolis, you have to make sure that you aren't
allergic to bees or anything that comes from bees.
Propolis is usually safe if taken appropriately,
there are many lozenges and supplementary medicines that contain Propolis.
If you have an allergic reaction, you may end up with a case of ulcer or irritation.
Yes, we know it sucks. This is why we take caution.
#2 Can Cause Skin Problems
This case is very similar to the last point.
The bottom line is that if you really want to enjoy the benefits of Propolis,
you better not be allergic to anything that comes from bees.
If you are allergic to it then it can cause skin rashes or infections.
Though these are minor problems, there are major issues as well.
Like the next one…
#3 Not Good For Bleeding Conditions
We all know that Propolis has many good properties, the ones that are good for our body.
Along with all the good things that come from Propolis, there are a few bad ones.
One chemical in particular can be a nightmare for people with bleeding problems.
So, if you have a bleeding disorder then you I would suggest that you stay away from this.
It's not you, it's Propolis!
So, do you think that you would love to try Propolis?
Have you ever tried it before?
