How to eat propolis is not as simple as taking other bee products. It must be extracted to remove harmful substances before use. Never take original propolis. It is dangerous to take the original propolis directly or soak it in white wine. Although it has a certain degree of effect, it has potential negative effects. At present, although the technology of extracting lead from propolis has passed the standard, not many units and individuals can accurately master this technology. Some hearsay is simple and easy, and even it is unscientific to take it after soaking in white wine. Be sure to eat products produced by manufacturers, such as propolis capsules and propolis liquid.
It is best to choose products produced by regular manufacturers and with the batch number of the Ministry of Health. Please refer to the instructions for the use of each product. If you can extract propolis by yourself when taking it, the easiest way is to extract it with ethanol, and then freeze and crush it to make propolis tincture, which can be used for both internal and external use. For the sake of curative effect and taste, propolis tincture can be used as master batch, and some auxiliary materials can be added to make liquid, cream and so on. It is more convenient and economical to use and insoluble in water without special treatment. If you take it in water, it will often float on the water surface to form small particles, appear yellow suspended matter, and even stick to the cup wall. So, if you take water, you can put it in hot water. Because the active ingredients of propolis are heat-resistant, when you take it in hot water at 50-70℃, the loss of active ingredients is less. Propolis can also be mixed with milk or honey, wine, soybean milk, porridge, coffee and malt extract for drinking. Practice has proved that taking propolis with honey, royal jelly and pollen at the same time will play a complementary role and have good health care and medical effects. Propolis is a high molecular substance. When a small amount of propolis enters water or milk, its color, fragrance and taste will change greatly, and it will also show a high concentration. This is a major feature of propolis. You can take it safely if you have a good dose, so don't worry.

2. At present, there are more than 300 kinds of low-dose propolis components, which are highly concentrated medicinal components of plants, and the amount and concentration of medicinal components contained in them are incomparable to those of medicinal plants. Therefore, it has the characteristics of small dose when treating diseases. Studies have shown that propolis combines a variety of effective substances and nutrients that play a special role in the human body, achieving concentration and balance in quality in a way that human beings can't, and containing the maximum material energy with the least material form. The effective edible dose of propolis is generally calculated by drops in the world, which shows that its concentration is extremely high. Authorities pointed out: "Propolis is a super-concentrated natural nutrition bank". Generally speaking, based on the content of 25% propolis ethanol solution, 3 ~ 5 drops can be used for health care, twice a day, and 6 ~ 10 drops can be used all day to achieve the purpose of health care. During treatment, 15-20 drops can be used every day, with a maximum of 30 drops, about 1.5-2 ml, which can receive good curative effect.

Fourth, safety. Experimental research and clinical practice show that propolis preparation is safe both orally and externally. 199 1 year. The Food Hygiene Supervision and Inspection Institute of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China conducted a safety inspection of Beijing propolis in accordance with the Food Safety Toxicology Evaluation Procedure. Acute toxicity test (mouse LD> 1500mg/kg), subacute toxicity test, mutagenicity test, sperm abnormality test and mammalian bacterial gene mutation test were all negative. After 90 days of feeding (1500mg/kg) and reproduction, no toxic reaction was found in the traditional teratogenic test (5000mg/kg). The results show that Beijing propolis is actually a non-toxic substance, and it is safe to eat according to the prescribed dose. The Institute of Environmental Health Monitoring of Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine conducted a safety test of propolis for external use in Beijing: rabbit skin was stimulated many times and no irritating reaction was found; Skin allergy test, no allergic reaction; No polyploid increase was found in chromosome aberration experiments of mammalian cells. In the hygienic chemical inspection of cosmetics, it meets the national standards. The results show that propolis is a non-toxic substance and safe for external use.
5. Propolis can be used frequently. Not only can it prevent and treat many diseases according to the course of treatment, but it can also be taken frequently all year round.

3. The application of propolis in otorhinolaryngology can promote the process of mucosal epithelial regeneration, with broad-spectrum antibacterial ability, anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic effects, which can reduce mucosal infiltration in the process of chronic inflammation and promote the shedding of necrotic tissue. Therefore, in recent years, propolis and its preparations have been widely used to treat various rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, upper respiratory inflammation, otitis externa, otitis media and hearing impairment.
4. Application in Stomatology As early as 1950s, propolis was used to treat various oral diseases abroad. The research of Kiev Stomatological Hospital proves that 2% ~ 4% propolis tincture can treat toothache. Postoperative hemostasis and pain relief. The treatment of recurrent aphtha and oral ulcer with propolis ointment and 4% propolis tincture in Odessa Stomatological Hospital has achieved good results.
Chen et al. treated 25 cases of recurrent aphtha/kloc-0 with propolis preparation, and the effective rate was 96.8%. The effective rate of treating dentin hypersensitivity is 96.8%, and obvious curative effect has been achieved.
Propolis is also effective in treating periodontitis and eliminating halitosis.
5. Application in Internal Medicine Propolis is widely used in the treatment of various diseases in internal medicine, and has achieved very ideal curative effect.
(1) Used to treat digestive tract diseases, propolis has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and tissue regeneration promoting effects; Propolis tincture can also form an acid-tight film on the epidermis and other medical characteristics. Therefore, the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers has the characteristics of quick pain relief, high cure rate and low recurrence rate, and has achieved obvious curative effect.
Clinical practice has proved that more than 90% of patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer treated with propolis tincture have obvious improvement within 3 ~ 5 days, and the gastric acid tends to be normal, and the secretion function of gastric juice also returns to normal.
Clinically, it is also proved that propolis has a satisfactory effect on treating chronic enteritis.
(2) Propolis preparation for treating respiratory diseases can achieve good curative effect in treating upper respiratory tract and lung diseases.
Chen et al. used 5ml 10% propolis tincture and 25 ml distilled water to treat upper respiratory tract infection, and the effective rate was over 98%.
Gu et al. (1996) used propolis medicated pillow to prevent and treat 87 cases of bronchial asthma, and the curative effect was 4 1 case, 38 cases were markedly effective, 6 cases were effective and 2 cases were ineffective.
(3) Treating cardiovascular diseases Hyperlipidemia is one of the culprits of cardiovascular diseases, and propolis can obviously reduce blood lipids.
1978 reported that 45 cases of hyperlipidemia were treated with propolis tablets, including 23 cases of hypercholesterolemia and 44 cases of hypertriglyceridemia, all of which had obvious lipid-lowering effect.
Zhu Daocheng of Suzhou Medical College reported that propolis is effective in treating hyperlipidemia in large, medium and small dosage groups. After 3 months of high, medium and low dose treatment, the total effective rate of lowering cholesterol is between 665,438 0.02% and 89.5438 0%. The total effective rate of reducing triglyceride is 79.03% ~ 84.95%.
Clinical results also show that propolis can be used to treat patients with hyperviscosity. After taking the medicine, the patient's symptoms improved obviously, the blood viscosity decreased, he was conscious, the numbness of his limbs disappeared and his physical strength increased.

3. Highly allergic people should use it with caution. Very few people may have allergic reactions to propolis with different symptoms. Allergy accounts for about three ten thousandths of users, usually accompanied by itchy skin, rash and other symptoms, and the symptoms disappear after stopping propolis. When people with high allergies eat propolis, they have to go through a "desensitization process", that is, starting from a very small amount and gradually increasing to the usual amount.
4. Propolis can be eaten for a long time without toxic or side effects. Propolis is a natural small "drug storehouse", which can prevent and treat diseases, and at the same time, it has no toxicity, side effects, drug resistance, gentleness, slowness, safety and reliability. Long-term use of propolis is only beneficial to the human body, and has a comprehensive adjustment and repair effect on various organs of the human body. Some people eat propolis as a tonic in autumn and winter, but don't eat it in spring and summer for fear of getting angry. In fact, in spring and summer, the temperature is high, the activity is large, and the metabolism is strong.
