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.

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.

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.
