Food Supplements - Bee Propolis - Ailments / Situations Where Used

Bee propolis is best known for its antibiotic properties and ability to stimulate the immune system. It is believed that bee propolis stimulates phagocytosis -- a natural process where white blood cells engulf and destroy bacteria. This makes it ideal when dealing with bad breath, gingivitis, sore throat, tonsillitis, ulcers, and some forms of the common cold (most colds are viral in nature).

Prepared as a salve, bee pollen is used to treat abrasions, bruises, cuts, scrapes, wounds, and other skin problems. It is also used to treat seasonal allergies.
