The protective properties of propolis has been
found so helpful thru the centuries.
WHAT IS PROPOLIS? Propolis (bee glue) is a dark sticky
resinous substance bees collect from leaf buds, twigs and tree
bark. The bees carry the propolis back to their hives and mix it
with their salivary secretions and wax flakes. Propolis contains
55% resins and balsams, 30% beeswax, 10% etheric oils, and 5% pollen.
The bees use this material for two very specific and important
purposes:
The main role of propolis is the protection of bees against
disease. Bees coat every inch of the internal walls of their
hives with a thin layer of propolis to sterilize the comb and keep
their hives free of bacteria. The hive is an enclosed unit, it
is hot and moist, the perfect breeding ground for microorganisms.
Because of the propolis, the hive is virtually free of bacteria,
mold and mildew.
Also to protect the young larva, bees use propolis as an antiseptic
lining in breeder cells before the Queen lays her eggs. Any intruders
that get into the hive, such as mice, are stung to death and then
embalmed with a protective coating of propolis. This coating guards
against bacteria and viral infections generated by the deterioration
of the intruder.
Propolis works against bacteria in several ways. One study reported
that it prevented bacterial cell division and also broke down bacterial
walls and cytoplasm, (material inside the cell membrane containing
the necessary components of life), which is how some prescription
antibiotics work.
The second role of propolis is to reinforce the hive
by sealing cracks and crevices to protect the hive from the cold
and rain, as well as for narrowing the entrance of the hive from
intruders.
Chemical analysis of Propolis Tablets shows
that it is extremely complex. Yimin Propolis is a rich source of
minerals, vitamins C, E, provitamin A, and B-Complex. Along with
a selection of amino acids, fats, trace minerals such as copper,
iron, manganese and zinc as well as bioflavonoids. In addition
to its antibacterial and antiviral properties, Yimin Propolis
also has antifungal properties. Yimin Propolis helps inhibit
infections such as Trichophyton Rubrum (common in most skin disease),
Staphylococcus (or staph infections, 20 strains), Steptococcus,
( or strep throat infections, 10 strains), E. Coli (10 strains),
and Candida Albicans, (parasitic yeastlike fungus that inhabits
the intestines, genital tract, mouth, esophagus, & throat).
Yimin Propolis is high in flavonoids, (flavonoids
are a super class of antioxidant), which by themselves may account
for many of the benefits of propolis. It contains 21 different
flavonoids and antioxidants to help control free radicals. Free
radicals are caused by waste from our body cells that increase
with stress and infections as well as through environmental contaminants
and toxins. They cause cell damage or cell death if they are not
neutralized. The antioxidants found in Yimin Propolis
help neutralize the free radicals and prevent cell damage.
Bee propolis is believed to stimulate phagocytosis, the means by
which white blood cells destroy bacteria.
As a supplement, Yimin Propolis helps provides
your body the protection and healing properties that has allowed
bees to survive for millions of years against many enemies. It
is an excellent aid against bacterial infections. Humans have benefitted
from propolis for 1000's of years and we are only now starting
to scratch the surface of propolis' benefits. The high nutrient
and antiseptic properties of propolis help build resistance to
disease. Propolis has long been know to have a natural antibacterial
effect. In fact, it has been referred to as, "nature's penicillin".
Provide your family the same protection that has allowed bees to
survive.
Propolis has been found to help:
- Fight many diseases -Reduce pain, inflammation,and fever
- Help ear infections
- Speed cell growth - Psoriasis and eczema -Acne
- Control free radicals -Absorption of nutrients - Cuts and burns
- Skin irritations - Allergy symptoms - Reduce high blood pressure
- Promote healing - Alleviating sore throats -Heal damage from radiation
- Enhance immune system - Act as an antibiotic without side - Help reduce stokes by
- Help keep joints lubricated effects regulating blood cells
Science has proven what the ancient Greeks learned years ago,
propolis offers one of natures most potent and versatile nutritional
supplements.
