1, used with caution or prohibited for severely allergic people:
Due to individual differences, according to statistics, about three-tenths of people have different degrees of allergies after topical application of propolis (no life-threatening phenomenon has been found for the time being). There is no need to test the sensitivity for internal use, but for external use, you should drop a drop on the affected area every day for one week.
For patients with skin redness, itching and dermatitis caused by external use, the affected area can be washed with 1%~2% sodium bicarbonate solution, and then coated with zinc oxide paste or hydrocortisone (prednisone ointment), which can be cured in a short time. For allergic reactions such as dyspnea, night sweats and nausea caused by oral propolis, it will not heal itself after a long time. People with severe allergic reactions should go to the hospital for treatment.
2, pregnant women can't eat propolis:
Propolis has complex components. After pregnant women eat propolis, the bioactive substances in propolis will stimulate the uterus, cause contractions and affect the normal growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, for the sake of children, we should eat carefully during pregnancy and stay away from propolis.
3./kloc-not suitable for infants under 0/year old:
The efficacy and ingredients of propolis may affect the normal development of the baby's immune system, even if it is really necessary to take a very small amount. Infants have delicate skin. When propolis is used externally to treat skin diseases, it should also be diluted before use.
Extended data:
The role of propolis:
1, antiviral effect: flavonoids, flavonoids, flavanones, caffeic acid derivatives and other components in propolis have antiviral effect. Experiments show that propolis has a good effect on influenza virus, vaccinia virus, hepatitis B virus, polio virus and vesicular stomatitis virus. Now, our living environment is getting worse and worse, pollution is serious, and some new viruses appear without our knowledge, causing diseases.
2. Antioxidant effect: Flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, terpenoids and other components in propolis have antioxidant effect. Propolis can also resist γ -ray irradiation and reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Bad habits in our daily life, such as smoking, obesity, stress, overwork, overeating, environmental pollution, etc. , will produce excessive waste such as reactive oxygen species and free radicals. Propolis is called antioxidant and free radical scavenger because it can effectively prevent the production of lipid peroxide and has good antioxidant effect.
3, immune enhancement: the human body has its own immune system to resist the invasion of germs. If the immunity is low, it is easy to get sick. The synergistic effect of components in propolis can increase antibody activity, serum total protein and gamma globulin, enhance the phagocytosis of white blood cells and macrophages, and improve the specific and non-specific immune function of the body.
