2, other functions, beeswax and its emulsion have antibacterial and antiseptic effects. And heparin 100- 150mg is suspended in beeswax 0.5- 1.5ml, and given intravenously, which can prolong the anticoagulant effect of heparin.
Extended data beeswax has large heat capacity, low thermal conductivity, good sealing, slow heat dissipation and long heat preservation time. The wax layer close to the skin can quickly coagulate, preventing heat from being quickly transmitted to the skin, so even if the wax solution is treated at 60℃, it will not burn.
Gas and moisture penetrate the beeswax, and heat is not easy to spread around. So although there is only a thin layer of beeswax, the temperature can be maintained for a long time because of its poor heat transfer performance. The thicker the wax is applied, the longer the heat preservation time is.
Beeswax has good plasticity, viscosity and heat expansion and cold contraction, so it can be closely attached to the skin on the body surface. With the diffusion and cooling of heat energy, beeswax gradually hardens, and its volume can be reduced by 10-20%, thus causing slight mechanical compression on tissues.
Beeswax contains not only monoesters, but also physiologically active free acids, free alcohols, carotene, flavonoids and so on. Chemical action is also involved in beeswax therapy, which has a good effect on moisturizing skin and promoting wound epithelial regeneration. This is unmatched by paraffin therapy. Adding proper amount of propolis (beeswax: propolis =9: 1) to beeswax can enhance the medicinal effect of beeswax.
