Pollen, Honey, Royal Jelly From propolis: been investigated pollen and honey. While honey has been used as a food and medicine since the cave days, the ‘’new’’ field of natural medicine is leading to another look at all of the products derived from bees and the hive. In the beginning is Royal Jelly, a pearly-white gelatinous mass produced by the pharyngeal glands located in the heads of the nursing bees. This nectar appears to be one of nature’s most concentrated foods. It is rich in protein, trace minerals, B1,B2,B6 and B12. It is a source of niacin, biotin, folic acid and inositol, an excellent source of pantoteic acid, and also containing all of the essential amino acid. Also 10- hydroxyl- decenoic acid, now being studied for its anti-cancer activity. It contains acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter needed for proper cell function, and plenty of minerals. For humans, royal Jelly is thought to aid mental alertness, provide energy and a general feeling of well-being, aids in cell regeneration, increase resistance to disease and help maintain skin tone and hair health. Futher-more, Royal Jelly helps trigger an increase in the brain’s production of serotonin an essential for those who have difficulty controlling their appetite, suffer from sleep disorder, or have low energy levels. More About Bee Propolis- Nature’s Antibiotic More than 30 years ago, researchers discovered that bees, contrary to other insects and animals, were free of any bacteria. The hives were ‘’hospital clean’’. Propolis Is a resinous substance gathered and metabolized by the bees from the bark or leaf buds of deciduous trees. It contains resins, balsam, wax, etheric oil, pollen, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plus previously discussed cafeic esters and high level of flavonoids. Bees also use this substance to fill in holes and make the entrance to the hive small enough to sleep out invaders, Propolis, meaning in Greek ’’defence before a town’’, Intruders who enter the hives are killed and then covered with propolis which mummifies the body. It non decay and spread disease. The flavonoids found in propolis are about 500 times the potency and healing power of oranges and are believed to be responsible for the major antibiotic effects of propolis. Flavonoids have numerous therapeutic effects- among them are beneficial action on the capillary system and the circulatory system, and as a vasodilator. They act as diuretics, increase bile production, and have been reported to influence the production of compound from the thymus, thyroid, pancreas and adrenal glands. The ability of propolis to purify makes it effective for healing sore gums or sore throat, and for stomach and intestinal infections. Propolis is not a ‘’new’’ discovery. Hippocrates prescribed it to help heal sores and both internal and external ulcers. And before 400 B.C. Herodotus the Greek wrote of propolis ointment to treat open wounds and abscesses.
