In this article, I will share my personal experience of using propolis and show the most effective and simplest of them.

When the first article about that was printed, I had a feeling that I had missed something important - something that would explain the whole uniqueness of bee glue.

Today I had an insight - to write about the origin of the described product. Then many questions of its healing will disappear by themselves. It will become clear where such unique properties of this amazing product come from and what is its strength.

If you look at the hive from the point of view of a thermostat for growing offspring, then there are all conditions for the development of not only young animals, but also microorganisms: warm, dark, humid, a lot of high-quality concentrated food.
It turns out a paradise for microorganisms - everything is there! Just multiply! But the bees found a way to prevent it. They used protecting plants for their buds developed in the course of evolution.

Vegetable origin of propolis. What is the power of propolis

To prevent microorganisms from eating young shoots, plants have developed their own defense system. Toward the end of summer, trees form buds of future shoots. Each kidney is tightly closed from external influences by a leathery scale. Synthesized substances begin to flow upward from the root system, which will protect the delicate tissue of the kidney.

Jpg" alt="(!LANG:The origin of propolis - collecting glue from the kidneys" width="500" height="392" srcset="" data-srcset="https://i0.wp..jpg?w=500&ssl=1 500w, https://i0.wp..jpg?resize=300%2C235&ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" data-recalc-dims="1">!}

The kidney scales covering the kidney are literally saturated with protective substances coming from below, from the roots. A lot of different compounds (from 200 to 400) are concentrated in the kidney, which will prevent bacteria, viruses and fungi from destroying the shoot and eating it. And these substances are prototype of propolis.

The maximum amount of bee glue is produced by bees from July 15 to August 15. This is due to the second summer sap flow from the roots to the buds of future shoots. Plants actively begin to prepare for the coming winter and synthesize a sticky mass that literally envelops the kidney.

Bees are on duty and waiting for this moment of sap flow. That's when the work of bees on the preparation of bee glue begins. The bee draws off the sticky mass with its paws, passes it through the goiter, mixing it with wax and enzymatic glands, fills the bags on the paws with glue and carries them to the hive. There, others - auxiliary bees, begin to pinch off pieces of propolis from the bag and fill them with the space between the frames and other places where microorganisms can multiply. All cells with honey are also covered with a thin layer of propolis. That is why sealed honey can be stored for 20 years or more, thanks to the propolis film.

Now you know that bee putty is a special protective plant sap processed by bees, which bees use to protect the hive from different strains and classes of microbes and fungi. AND the main strength of propolis in the use of the protective functions of different plants to keep the kidney intact and safe from external influences. Propolis is an accumulated immunity a large number trees and plants. Therefore, it can perform a protective function so well both in the hive and in our body.

The main features of propolis, based on its origin

1. Antibiotic action. He - natural antibiotic. But, unlike synthetic antibiotics, microorganisms do not get used to propolis. Why? Firstly, a multicomponent composition - against each type of microbe or fungus - its own compound, and secondly, next year there will be another glue, from other kidneys. Every year, the sticky mass is modified by both the plant and the bees to modern microorganisms, and not to the organisms of the previous year.

2. Propolis contains substances that block the growth and development of cells. This is also due to the protective juice of plants for the kidney. After all, the weather is different in nature. The sun warmed up, the humidity increased - and the bud may begin to bloom at the wrong time, in the middle of winter, during a sharp warming. But this is the death of a kidney, since frosts will again follow the warming. To prevent this from happening, the protective juice of plants contains substances that block, inhibit this growth - growth inhibitors. Can you imagine if you put them in the service of oncology, where doctors are struggling with the unstoppable growth of cancer cell tissues?
Propolis has been successfully used in folk medicine for oncological diseases.

3. Propolis contains substances that stimulate cell growth. In spring, when nature wakes up, kidney cells, under the influence of protective juice, begin to grow and develop rapidly. Substances that stimulate growth and rapid cell division are called auxins (I defended my term paper on heteroauxins in plants).

Important how to use bee glue based on knowledge of its features. They can almost completely regulate all the processes in our body. Propolis will help the body with natural substances to restore the necessary function of an organ or organ system if it fails.

Do not treat the disease, but help the body in self-healing

The human body is a powerful self-regulating system. And the margin of safety of our body is huge in order to cope with all the negative effects on the body. But, over time, under the influence of ecology, poor-quality nutrition and lifestyle, it decreases. And the use of propolis is not so much a treatment as a help to the body in restoring vitality.

Hippocrates also said that it is not necessary to treat the body, it is necessary to help the body cope with certain problems on its own.

Donald Walsh, in Conversations with God, writes about what God told him about modern medicine:

by developing medicine that does the work your body is supposed to do, you have created viruses so persistent that they can destroy your entire human race.

There are people who care to live and not get sick.

Important:

they don't heal their body, but help him recover biologically active compounds or food additives. All bee products, including propolis, are substances that help the body to repair computer failures in the complex system of our body.

There is a whole trend in official medicine - apitherapy - treatment with beekeeping products: bee glue, honey, ardor, bee venom, royal jelly, subpestilence. I will gradually write about these products, about their role in restoring health.

I am sure that my parents lived to their age (85 years) thanks to my father's apiary and the use of all bee products in food. The basis of their way of life and maintenance of the body is honey (there is no sugar in the house) and propolis.

How to use propolis with the greatest healing effect

  • alcohol tincture
  • aqueous extract
  • propolis oil
  • propolis ointment
  • chewing lumps of glue like chewing gum

There are other ways to use propolis:

  • with honey
  • with medicinal herbs
  • with milk
  • with sea buckthorn oil

On the Internet you can find a huge number of recipes for healing with propolis. But I will focus on the most common. And I'll start with personal experience application of bee glue.

Personal experience of using propolis in my family

As soon as my father started an apiary, this healing miracle appeared in the family - propolis. Having read about its miraculous properties, the whole family switched to this natural antibiotic. Dad made an alcohol tincture of propolis and used it both to prevent colds and to treat a huge number of chronic diseases, because of which doctors abandoned my parents.

See how to make an alcohol tincture of bee glue:

Both father and mother perceived the bond alcohol tincture absolutely normally.

They added a teaspoon of propolis tincture to 50 grams of water and drank it. No allergic reactions were observed, despite the fact that the mother has a shock allergy to bee stings. My dad loves to take everything useful material in higher doses and he, of course, increased the recommended intake from 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon and drank the solution three times a day. Constantly. Without the recommended break after a month of taking.

The main disease of the father was atrial fibrillation, the pulse could disappear at any time. We lived like on a volcano, we were afraid to lower it unattended even to the store. Imagine the stress when a big man under two meters tall quietly slides to the floor from a chair and you do not find a pulse. I still remember it! And it all depends on how fast the ambulance arrives.

After a month of using alcohol tincture of propolis (1 tablespoon per 100 grams of water and add propolis to water, and not vice versa), attacks gradually, very slowly, began to leave our lives and now they are gone. I brought a dog to my father to accompany him when the apiary was on the road to honey plants in the mountains in the summer.

Heart problems are almost forgotten (the age is still great - 85 years old!), From time to time weakness may occur, but I am sure that this thyroid gland is failing. Propolis contains a lot of organic calcium, and this strengthening of not only the skeletal system, but also muscle turgor, the state of blood vessels - 149 diseases are caused by a lack of the trace element calcium. Colds are rare and mild.

Mom takes the medicinal product less - she does not like the smell, but with a cold she gargles and takes an alcohol solution in the amount of 1 teaspoon per 50 grams of water. It always helps to get out of a sore throat, bronchitis and a runny nose quickly and without complications. At home, we always use 10% propolis (100 grams of propolis per 1 liter of 95% alcohol). Although it is believed that 70% alcohol is better, but the father has his own opinion ...

For me, the process of using alcohol tincture of propolis has always caused difficulties. Understanding its benefits, I could not take it, like my parents. After ingesting a teaspoon of bonds with 50 grams of water, I did not feel very well:

  1. belching appeared
  2. like a wave of weakness
  3. could vomit

All signs of allergy were observed, but the test for allergy when applying the lozenge on the inside of the elbow joint was not monitored.

Now I know that I not suitable alcohol tincture, because I chew propolis without any side effects. It turns out that it causes a similar reaction in many people. I was disassembled by curiosity to find the reason for not accepting alcohol tincture - I rummaged through the Internet all about the use of propolis, read the reviews.

There came an understanding that the body must be accustomed gradually to the alcohol tincture of propolis, starting with one drop and every day increase by one drop of the solution. So I got to 20 drops. Then there was a reverse process - every day I reduced the use of a solution of propolis in alcohol by one drop.

Now I normally perceive alcohol tincture, but not more than 5 drops per 50 grams of water, if without a gradual increase in dose. With an aqueous solution, there were no such effects, the body took the propolis solution in water immediately. I can drink a tablespoon per 100 grams of water.

See how to properly prepare an aqueous solution of bee glue:

Why am I describing my experience in such detail? In order for you to understand - you need to learn to hear your body and not even force it useful product. Each organism perceives it in its own way.

External application of propolis oil or ointment - I have it without any problems. Bee putty oil to prepare for olive oil, but any - sunflower, corn, sea buckthorn - is also suitable, the concentration is 10% (for 0.5 liters of oil - 50 grams of propolis). Propolis ointment is prepared in butter. Some beekeepers use Vaseline. A 10% ointment is prepared (10 grams of propolis per 100 grams of oil, heated in a water bath for 20 minutes to an hour, and filtered). This is how I used propolis before. And then, by chance, I discovered another way - I like it the most - applying a glue cake to the tooth.

How to use propolis correctly

It so happened that I was out of the house and without propolis tincture. Only a small pea of ​​the bond was lying around in a cosmetic bag. In the morning I felt a sore throat. I spent the whole day at the seminar and there was no time for chewing. In the evening at the hotel, she began to chew a piece of propolis and fell asleep with it on her cheek. In the morning I found that the piece turned into a cake and stuck to the tooth. My throat has almost stopped hurting. After brushing my teeth, I put the cake back on my tooth and went to class. By the evening the throat has ceased to hurt or be ill;be sick.

Now I most often use this way of applying propolis - just glue a piece of propolis cake on the extreme tooth from the side of the cheek. And on the side of the jaw that you do not chew - then you can not remove the plate while eating. When brushing your teeth, the cake was removed and glued again after the end of the procedure. You can glue propolis only at night, but more effectively - for the whole day and night.

Why do I consider this use of a healing cake to be the most correct? Because everything useful substances will enter the body by dropper method- in small doses and gradually. How long can you use propolis while holding it in your mouth? If necessary, 7-10 days, then a break of 5-10 days.

This application of bee putty is most effective for diseases of the mouth and throat. Any sore throat is treated with an antibiotic - the doctor will tell you. And propolis is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. You have laryngitis, tonsillitis, tracheitis - propolis will help you. Can be kept in the mouth (glued to the gum or tooth), chewed or rinsed with alcohol tincture. And it is even better to apply all methods: both inside, and rinsing, and a cake. For one or two days you will forget about the cold.

Propolis cake is a wonderful prophylactic. During the flu epidemic, a lump was glued and any virus will pass you by.

I wanted to describe what can be treated different forms propolis, and which one is better for a certain disease, but the article turned out to be so long (as always), so there will be another continuation of the topic.
