Description
Propolis is a resin-like material made by bees from the buds of poplar and cone-bearing trees. Bees use it to build hives, and it may contain beehive byproducts.
Propolis seems to help fight against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It might also have anti-inflammatory effects and help skin heal. Propolis is rarely available in its pure form. It's usually obtained from beehives.
Thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations used propolis for its medicinal properties. Greeks used it to treat abscesses. Assyrians put it on wounds and tumors to fight infection and help the healing process. Egyptians used it to embalm mummies.
People commonly use propolis for diabetes, cold sores, and swelling and sores inside the mouth.
Function
Propolis is thought to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Wounds
Propolis has a special compound called pinocembrin, a flavonoid that acts as an antifungal. These anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make propolis helpful in treating wounds, such as burns.
Cold sores and genital herpes
Ointments that contain 3% propolis,may help speed healing time and reduce symptoms in both cold sores and sores from genital herpes.
Oral health
Another 2021 review found that propolis may also help treat mouth and throat infections, as well as dental caries (cavities). Here, researchers suggest that the product’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects could potentially play a role in overall oral health care.
Cancer
Propolis has been suggested to have a role in treating certain cancers as well. According to one 2021 studyTrusted Source, propolis may:
keep cancerous cells from multiplying
reduce the likelihood cells will become cancerous
block pathways that keep cancer cells from signaling to each other
reduce side effects of certain cancer treatments, such chemotherapy and radiation therapy
Researchers also suggested that propolis could be a complementary therapy — but not a sole treatment — for cancer.
Chronic diseases
Research suggests that some of the anti-oxidative effects of propolis may have potential cardiovascular, neurological, and anti-diabetic benefits.
According to one 2019 review, polyphenol-rich foods and supplements like propolis may reduce the risk of high cholesterol, heart disease, and stroke.
The same review also noted that propolis may possibly possess neuroprotective effects against multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Still, as with other purported benefits of propolis, more research is needed to confirm where such supplements may help prevent neurological disorders.
Additionally, a 2022 reviewTrusted Source suggests that propolis may also have implications in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. It’s thought that its flavonoids could potentially help control insulin release.
