Precious Propolis...

There is only one true use for propolis, the resinous substance collected by bees from certain plant, which is used to seal holes in a bee’s honey comb and prevent intruders from entering the hive. The composition of propolis will vary from hive to hive, district to district, and from season to season. Normally it is dark brown in color, but it can be found in green, red, black and white hues, depending on the sources of resin found in the particular hive area. Honey bees are opportunists, and will gather what they need from available sources, and detailed analyses show that propolis chemical composition varies considerably from region to region, along with the vegetation. Propolis consists of dozens of compounds, including fatty acids, which have antifungal and antibacterial effects, which has a strong resistive action against bacteria and fungi. But there is a little evidence to justify claims that propolis has antibacterial effects superior to antibiotics or that propolis stimulates the immune system. Some people recommend using to treat ulcers and skin problems caused by fungi. Studies have shown that the mild antimicrobial effects of propolis may be due, in part, to the residue of solvents used to extract those active ingredients. Thus propolis protects us from bacteria and fungal infections.
