Did you know that honey is not the only thing that bees make? Bees also produce a compound called Propolis from the sap on needle-leaved trees or evergreens. When they combine the sap with their own discharges and beeswax, they create a sticky, greenish-brown product used as a coating to build their hives. This s propolis

Ancient civilizations used propolis in various ways for its medicinal properties. The Greeks used it to treat abscesses. The Assyrians put on wound and tumours to fight infection and help the healing process and the Egyptians used it to embalm mummies

The composition of propolis will vary from region to region depending on what trees and flowers the bees have access to. As an example propolis from Europe won’t have the same composition as propolis from Brazil. This makes it difficult for researchers to define its exact health benefits

Research has identified over 300 compounds in propolis. The majority being forms of polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that fight disease and damage in the body

Specifically, propolis contains the polyphenols called flavonoids. Flavonoids are produced in plants as a form of protection. They are commonly found in foods thought to have antioxidant properties, like fruits, green tea, vegetables and red wine

Propolis is thought to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties

Propolis has a special compound called pinocembrin, a flavonoid that acts as antifungal. The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make propolis helpful in wound healing. Propolis also encourages new healthy cell growth, therefore helps to speed up wound healing in burns

Research has found that topical ointments containing propolis for the treatment of cold sores helped to heal cold sores faster. It also reduced the amount of herpes virus present in the body and protected against future cold sore breakouts

Caution and safety

People typically take in some propolis when consuming honey, however if you have an allergy to honey or bees, you will also have a reaction to products containing propolis. Propolis may also cause its own allergic reaction when used over long periods of time
