Paste: What is propolis valid? It's up to you

What is propolis valid? It's up to you, squirrel cloud. The bee collects some food from the spore of the plant and adds its own secretions to get a gel. People call it "propolis ". Bees use it to build a beehive. propolis works like brick-building cement. In addition, propolis can also prevent external attacks such as bacteria. The English word of propolis comes from Greek, and its original intention is "Guardian of the beehive ". Humans have used propolis for a long time. In 300 BC, the use of propolis was recorded in Europe. Ancient people in Greece, Rome, Egypt, and other places used it to cure injury, reduce inflammation, and make mummies. With the development of history and the marketing of modern commerce, the legendary "Efficacy" of propolis is increasing, from the traditional "antibacterial" and "anti-virus ", to the trendy "regulating immunity" and "anti-tumor", there is no difference. Because most countries have strict requirements on the effectiveness and safety of medical products, propolis can only be sold as "alternative medicine" products. However, its scientific research has attracted a lot of attention. Some people have basically studied the various functions in the legend. Over the past few decades, many results have been published. It is disappointing that these studies are generally animal or cell experiments that are not large in size for humans and are not considered to be sufficient in medicine to draw conclusions. The worst thing is that the experiment results made by some people are "valid" and the results of some people are "invalid ". However, for propolis merchants and enthusiasts, there is also "good news ". On the one hand, these research results only say "no proof of propolis effective", but not to prove "propolis ineffective ". Therefore, as long as people are "willing to believe", they can "take it as effective ". On the other hand, no problems have been found in the toxicity and side effects tests currently performed. Therefore, "no side effects have been detected" is still acceptable at present. Of course, like any other bee product, it may contain a variety of allergens. If it is allergic, you need to be careful. As many people pursuing "traditional therapies" have said, "Natural Products" such as Propolis may contain hundreds of ingredients, it does not rule out things that have not been discovered by modern analysis technology. The research of modern science needs to solve two problems: first, are the legendary functions actually and reliably? Second, if these functions exist, what components of them have such a role? Scientific development is indeed limited. The scientific research on propolis has been carried out for decades. This mess will continue, and I don't know when it will be unlocked. Before obtaining reliable evidence, I think it is "useless" in the face of "rare and expensive" because "no evidence shows it useful ", or because "no evidence shows that it is useless" and thinks that it is "useful", we can only rely on "trust" to solve the problem.
