Propolis is a very respected product in folk medicine, with which many diseases are treated. Skin diseases in general and papillomatosis in particular are no exception. The medicine is used in pure form or as part of various tinctures and ointments, for external treatment and internally. The effectiveness of propolis-based medicines for papillomas is confirmed by numerous positive reviews and scientific studies. However, it is still very important to consult a doctor before using it.

Description and composition of propolis for removing papillomas

Propolis is a waste product of bees. It is also called bee glue, because with its help insects, in particular, build their hive - seal the cracks in the honeycombs, polish them, etc. In taste and structure, propolis can be compared to bitter resin. The color of the product is usually dark brown, but can also be green.

To obtain this valuable material, bees in the spring collect special sticky material from trees (usually poplar, alder, birch) and process it with the help of enzymes into a healing substance - propolis, which helps against papillomas and many other ailments.

Bee glue has an extremely rich composition; to date, about 200 compounds have been identified in it:

  1. 50% propolis is composed of resinous elements such as flavonoids, aromatic acids and their esters;
  2. 30% of the product is wax (fatty acids, alcohols and their esters);
  3. About 10% of bee glue consists of essential oils;
  4. 5% is pollen (amino acids and proteins);
  5. 5% - other substances, including vitamins, minerals, sugars, etc.

It is especially worth mentioning the importance of propolis as a supplier of minerals and amino acids. The product contains almost all the macro- and microelements that a person needs every day, as well as all the essential and many non-essential amino acids.

The content of valuable components in propolis varies slightly depending on the geography of the apiary, the flight range of the bees, their species and other factors, but in general, any bee glue can boast a powerful healing effect.

It is worth noting that the composition of propolis has not yet been fully studied, however, scientists continue to study this natural substance and every year they discover new substances, allowing them to conclude that propolis is effective not only against papillomas. Unique natural antibiotics are especially often found in the composition, which expand the already extensive healing potential of bee glue.

Propolis has been used to treat various ailments since ancient times. Modern medicine confirms its great medicinal potential. The bee product has an officially documented list of pharmacological actions.

Separately, it is worth noting the antioxidant properties of the product. In 2016, studies were conducted in the USA and the anti-cancer effect of propolis was discovered. It powerfully fights off excess free radicals and prevents the formation of abnormal molecular bonds, including not only cancer, but also other serious illnesses, and, in addition, early aging.

Propolis is credited with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects. It is thanks to these actions that propolis for papillomas is so effective.

It is known that HPV therapy must be carried out not only externally, but also internally, since skin growths are only a consequence of the virus raging in the body.

Propolis when taken orally fights the root cause of papillomas and increases immunity, as a result of which the body’s own defenses begin to more actively counteract the virus.

For external use the antimicrobial properties of beeswax increase local immunity and promote faster removal of unaesthetic growths.

Propolis contraindications for papillomas

Unfortunately, treatment of papillomas with propolis is not suitable for everyone. Like any other beekeeping product, it is highly allergenic and individual intolerance to components may contribute to the development of allergic diseases - bronchial asthma, urticaria, eczema, etc. That is why it is very important to start therapy with minimal doses and stop treatment at the slightest unpleasant symptom.

An allergy test is carried out as follows: a small area of ​​skin is treated with propolis and the reaction is monitored. If there is no negative reaction within 24 hours, propolis for papillomas can be used for external treatment of tumors.

To check whether it is possible to take bee glue orally, you need to take a quarter of the dose recommended in the recipe and gradually increase it if no negative dynamics are observed.

It is worth saying that even if you are not allergic to the product, you cannot use propolis for papillomas for therapeutic purposes for more than 1 month, otherwise, instead of an immunomodulatory effect, you can provoke the opposite effect - suppression of the immune system. 

It is not advisable to use bee glue for the treatment of papillomas if there is diseases of the liver, gall bladder, kidneys. And in general, if you have certain chronic and acute diseases, it is worth discussing with your doctor the advisability of using a folk remedy, as well as the method of administration and dosage. When treating with propolis, a specialist must take into account many subtleties, for example, in case of acute liver diseases, bee glue is prohibited, but in case of chronic diseases, it is not only allowed, but is also prescribed as an auxiliary therapy for their treatment.

Afterwards, a compress is made from propolis, it is fixed and changed regularly until the formation disappears.
