In this topic we will talk about bee products, which people widely use in various industries. We will tell you what merva is in beekeeping, what is the importance of bee venom and drone milk, and also tell you what bactericidal properties wax has.
Did you know? Bees are a specialized form of wasps. The ancestors of the bees were predatory wasps from the family of Sandy wasps. The transition from a predatory lifestyle to pollen feeding was the result of eating pollinating insects.
The healing properties of honey
Honey and bee products have long been used by man for medicinal purposes. Before you tell what healing properties honey has, you need to familiarize yourself with its composition and the "instructions" for receiving.
Honey, oddly enough, is a semi-finished product - partially digested (in the bee goiter) nectar. It contains not only sugar and carbohydrates, but also a small list of valuable vitamins. This product has a large number of classifications and types (for honey bearing plants, for consistency, for color, transparency, taste, and so on), but, regardless of the type, the healing qualities of honey do not change.
Important! In people with allergies to bee products, honey can cause unforeseen reactions.
Now we will find out what healing properties this beekeeping product has. Referring to the works of professors Omarov and Khismatullin, we can distinguish the main properties of honey:
- antibacterial;
- anti-toxic;
- soothing;
- immunomodulatory;
- antiviral.
And this is just a list of scientifically proven properties of honey. The antibiotic properties of honey are manifested due to the release of hydrogen peroxide, which, as everyone knows, is used as an antiseptic.
It is worth remembering that what longer honey is stored - the more hydrogen peroxide is released in it and, therefore, antimicrobial properties are improved. The taste you can not distinguish between the monthly honey from the annual, but in terms of the benefits of the differences will be noticeable. Thus, honey is almost a "panacea" for microbes and viruses.
Important! If you heat honey to the boiling point, then the antibacterial properties will disappear.
Antimicrobial properties of honey also depend on botanical origin.
So, for the treatment of streptococci and staphylococci It is necessary to use lime, alfalfa, acacia and clover honey. For diseases related to gynecology, treatment is used Honey forest flowers - lemon balm and lime.
If we proceed from the appearance of honey, then antimicrobial properties are better manifested in dark and amber varieties.
Did you know? Antimicrobial properties of honey are used in the treatment of purulent wounds, trophic ulcers, burn lesions, inflammatory diseases of the respiratory organs, eyes, urogenital system, etc. Thanks to these capabilities, honey is used as a preservative.
Knowing this, when using honey as medicine, you need to buy not the first available (or "cheaper"), but choosing the product based on the desired honey plant (the plant from which nectar was collected).
Honey is used in the treatment of a variety of diseases:
- Eye disease. Honey has irritating properties that are used to treat eye diseases. In such cases, it is laid under the lower eyelid. It contributes to the expansion of blood vessels, improving blood circulation and trophism of eye tissue.
- Poisoning and intoxication of the body. In this case, honey is used as an antidote. It has a positive effect on metabolism in the liver tissues, removing all poisons and toxins from the body.
- Inflammations Honey has an excellent anti-inflammatory effect. This effect is achieved by accelerating local blood flow and lymph flow (tissues get more nutrients and are restored faster).
- Cough, sore throat, acute respiratory infections. That's just in this direction, often, honey and apply. Everyone is familiar with the fact that with a cold it is worth making tea with honey and everything will “remove it like a hand”. However, honey for colds is not only taken with milk or tea, it is used for inhalation, as a solution for electrophoresis, they rinse their throats and nasopharynx during pharyngitis.
- Nervous disorders. Substances contained in honey regulate nervous activity and act as a sedative, increasing nerve tone (1 tablespoon per cup of warm water 30 minutes before sleep).
- Treatment of the cardiovascular system. Given that honey contains glucose, it has a positive effect on the heart muscle (it is she who most often causes heart problems in senior citizens), dilutes blood, dilates blood vessels. When using honey, paired with carrot juice, there is a decrease in pressure.
Did you know?A solution of honey rinsed the oral cavity during stomatitis.
Important! If you have hypotension, you should be careful in using honey as a medicine (it is better to consult a doctor).
The product of the work of bees is also used to treat heart failure. To stimulate the myocardium take honey solutions with insulin.
Before using honey for medicinal purposes, we recommend consulting with doctors or using ready-made medicines based on it. Remember: any medicine, in large quantities, can be poison!
Bactericidal properties of wax
Bees produce not only honey, but also wax, which is the second product of beekeeping in importance. We will talk about it in this section. Beeswax is a complex organic compound that is released from a special gland.
Did you know? Beeswax is used as a food supplement with code E-901.
Wax has excellent bactericidal properties, due to which it is used in various ointments and other pharmaceuticals. Wax-based preparations do an excellent job with the healing of wounds, burns, ulcers, and other foci of inflammatory processes.
In its pure form, wax is used to treat the following diseases:
- sinusitis;
- adolescent rash;
- polyarthritis;
- periodontal disease;
- trophic ulcers;
- hemorrhoids;
- whooping cough;
- tuberculosis;
- gynecological diseases;
- sprains and muscle inflammation.
Use of bee pollen
Bee pollen (or bee pollen) - it is pollen collected by bees and glued together in granules. Bee uses pollen as food. She ranks first in her diet in importance.
So what's so special about bee pollen? This product is just a storehouse of essential amino acids, all known vitamins, protein and the most valuable minerals.
I think now you have realized the full value of this product, both for the bee itself and for the person. Pollen is particularly important in the physical exhaustion of the body, recovery from disease and blood loss (hemoglobin levels return to normal).
Consider in order all the cases of the use of bee pollen.
- Prevention of heart disease (heart disease, cardioneurosis, anemia, atherosclerosis).
- Treatment of hypertension.
- Treatment of male problems.
- Fighting obesity (paired with other means).
- Treatment of the digestive system (gastritis with high acidity, ulcers).
- Treatment of neurotic diseases (neurosis, depression).
- Treatment of influenza and other viral diseases.
And this is just a small list of the problems that bee pollen helps to cope with. In fact, the pollen itself is not a panacea for all diseases, but it contains a huge amount of vitamins and trace elements that help the body fight diseases.
This feature allows you to use bee pollen with drugs, without fear of negative reactions.
Important! The exact dosage of pollen, in the treatment of each of the diseases, check with specialized reference books or your doctor.
How is propolis useful for the human body?
Most readers have probably heard that Propolis is a beekeeping product that is used to increase immunity. In addition, it is used in the cosmetic and food industry, added to medicines and ointments.
However, few know what is so valuable about this substance. Propolis (bee glue) is a resinous substance that is used as a "putty" of crevices in honeycombs and as an antiseptic of cells.
Did you know?Bees get propolis by modifying the sticky substance they collect from the spring buds of the trees.
Thus, if bees use propolis as an antiseptic, it means that a person can find a use for it. In addition to a pronounced antiseptic effect, this product cleanses the cell membranes in the human body (removes cholesterol and normalizes cell respiration), nourishes with vitamins and trace elements that have anti-aging properties and accelerate the healing process.
In addition to the listed properties, propolis increases resistance to radiation. Also, the substance enhances all the protective functions of the body and acts as an antidepressant.
The already impressive list of useful properties is complemented by a considerable list of diseases and ailments with which propolis copes well:
- Rheumatism
- Migraine
- Gastrointestinal Disorder
- Alcoholism and drug addiction
- Osteochondrosis, arthritis
- Genital tract diseases
- Eczema, Herpes, Furunculosis
In fact, in one form or another, propolis is used to treat most diseases and illnesses of a person. However, treatment is not direct, but indirect (support of the body with all necessary substances at the time of crisis). Therefore, you should not completely abandon medicines - it is better to create a comprehensive program with your doctor.
What is merva for?
If many people heard about wax and propolis, then the word “merva” is familiar only to beekeepers. Merva - it is a product of beekeeping, which is the residue after the overflow of old honeycombs.
Merva consists of the remains of bee larvae, bee bread and waste products of bees. This mixture has a black color and looks more like a humus than a beekeeping product.
Nevertheless, Merve was used. The most useful substance in it is wax.
Merva, depending on the source, is of two types: factory and apiary. In the first embodiment, there is very little wax (up to 25%), but even it is of poor quality and is quickly affected by mold.
Bee merva Many times richer in wax (from 30 to 50%) than the factory. It is used as a raw material in wax plants. After processing, it turns out "squeezed" water, used as a vitamin supplement in the diet of livestock or poultry.
Thus, pure merva is a direct waste of beekeeping and in its pure form is not used anywhere. At home, it will be rather difficult to isolate wax from Merva. Therefore, it is most often used as a wax-containing raw material and sent for processing.
Zabrus treatment
Not everyone knows about zabrus and how it is used, therefore we will acquaint you with this beekeeping product in this topic.
Zabrus (or signet of honey) - These are cut off "caps" of sealed honeycombs. In fact, it is a kind of "sealant", which seals every cell in the honeycomb, when the honey is ripe. The composition of zabrus includes secrets of the salivary glands of bees, propolis, pollen and a small amount of honey.
Thus, you get a mixture of all useful bee products in one "bottle". To collect such a versatile material can only be from the cells that store fully matured honey of the highest quality.
Important! For therapeutic purposes, zabrus is used as a chewing agent.
Let us turn to the diseases that this product will help to cope with: 
- prevention and treatment of hay fever;
- rhinitis and sinusitis;
- pollinosis (light form).
Zabrus also contributes to the mechanical cleansing of the oral cavity, improving the secretory and motor functions of the stomach, normalizing the intestinal microflora, and enhancing immunity.
Zabrus, like wax, has excellent antibacterial and antiviral properties. This product can be used for applications in radiculitis and articular pathologies.
Healing properties of the submarine
Submor is the calf of dead bees. There are two types: winter and summer-spring. To date, podmor is not an "official" medicine, but its effectiveness is confirmed by the practice of use.
The substance has a positive effect on the human body. This beekeeping product is used to improve immunity, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-toxic, bactericidal, regenerative effects, stabilizes blood pressure, regulates the heart, endocrine system, and also prolongs youth.
Podmore can be used in combination with other bee products. In particular, this drug is used with fruit or vegetable additives, phytopreparations and vegetable oils.
The specified substance is useful for the following diseases:
- Heart and Vascular Diseases
- Varicose veins
- Damage to cerebral vessels
- Diseases of the skin, joints, teeth
- Sexual impairment in men and women
- Vision, hearing and memory problems
Perga and its application
In this section we will tell you about another type of beekeeping products and their use by humans - about perge. It contains all the necessary amino acids, enzymes, trace elements, carbohydrates, hormones, monosaccharides, fatty acids and vitamins.
Did you know? Perga perfectly interacts with human saliva, it is in the oral cavity that chemical reactions begin on the assimilation of potassium from perga and other trace elements.
This product is inferior in utility only royal jelly, being rich in vitamins and trace elements food. Perga is quickly absorbed by the human body and is well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
Moreover, it has a good therapeutic effect in case of anemia, anemia, gastric ulcer, increases hemoglobin content, improves the immune system, the body’s resistance to viruses. Treatment with pergoy stimulates the rapid restoration of damaged tissues, reduces cholesterol in the blood, stimulates the immune system.
It is also used for depression, stress and nerve overstrain. Potassium, which is contained in this substance, strengthens the heart muscles, normalizes metabolism and promotes the removal of toxins. Moreover, another advantage of perga is an increase in mental performance.
This beekeeping product contains a storehouse of vitamin P, which protects a person from hemorrhage in the brain or retina, stimulates male potency to a ripe old age. Also, bee bread (perga) is used to treat male infertility and prostate adenoma.
Important!It is not recommended to use perga before bedtime because of the strong tonic effect.
Substance is used in the following cases:
- Under stress
- With severe mental stress
- For the prevention of influenza and SARS
- With chronic fatigue syndrome.
It is used in cosmetology. For example, if you constantly use a bee loaf (mask), then the face rejuvenates, wrinkles disappear, the skin becomes elastic and velvety to the touch.
When combined with taking the polga inside and wiping the face with propolis alcohol extract, the acne on the face and body disappears.
Drone Milk
Drone Milk - This is a valuable product of beekeeping, which contains amino acids, proteins, vitamins. Often used in alternative medicine.
Did you know? In the tomb of Ma Vas You Dui (China) were found recipes on bamboo with a detailed description of the use of drone milk. Our ancestors already then knew about the useful qualities of drones.
The liquid is extracted by drawing the honeycomb with drone larvae. The so-called "larval milk" after pressing is a thick bright liquid and has a sweet-sour taste.
Getting drone milk is very difficult. Beekeepers take honeycombs with drone larvae and transfer them to the laboratory. Following the sanitary and hygienic conditions, honeycombs are packed, brought to a liquid state and poured into containers, which are then placed in boxes or baskets. The shelf life of the drug is 3 years.
This product has many beneficial properties:
- improves appetite and metabolism;
- boosts immunity;
- normalizes blood pressure;
- relieves fatigue;
- improves performance;
- keeps skin and cardiovascular system in tone;
- normalizes potency and sexual desire.
- hypothyroidism (thyroid disease).
- violation of the digestive system;
- atherosclerosis (chronic disease of the blood vessels);
- prostatitis;
- menopause and infertility in women;
- dermatitis;
- fungus or eczema;
- stress, insomnia or overwork.
Bee venom
The use of bee products is very diverse.Most often, the waste products of bees become the basis for the manufacture of honey, zabrus, wax, drone and royal jelly, as well as propolis. However, in medicine they began to try and bee venom - waste product of bees, performing the function of protection.
Did you know? After the bite, the bees leave a sting in the human skin, and after a few hours they die.
Bee venom contains antibiotic substances. It is a white liquid with a honey smell and a bitter taste; when ingested, it activates its protective functions.
Also, bee venom expands the small arteries and capillaries, reduces pain, increases the amount of hemoglobin, has a positive effect on metabolism and lowers blood pressure.
But it all depends on the dose of poison obtained, the place of the bite and the characteristics of the organism. In addition, with systematic bites (as is the case with beekeepers), a high resistance to poison develops.
Now it is worth figuring out what a person gets from bees and their poison.
Bee venom is used against simple and complex diseases:
- atherosclerosis;
- hypertension;
- diseases of the nervous system;
- rheumatism;
- allergies;
- thyroid diseases;
- oncology (poison can resist the growth of cancerous tumors);
- osteochondrosis;
- arthritis;
- flu or cold;
- headache.
Most often, the poison is applied by injection, electrophoresis, inhalation and rubbing into the skin. However, the most effective method of treatment, in today's time, is the introduction of poison in a natural way - with the help of bees.
Important! Apitherapy (a method of treatment using live bees) is not recommended for pregnant women.
Conclusion
So our article came to an end, in which we examined 10 bee products, finding out what they are, how they are received and stored. Considered many diseases from which honey or bee pollen, drone milk or wax can save.
As you can see, bee products are excellent natural medicines that not only treat, but also strengthen, rejuvenate and give strength to your body. If nature has given us the opportunity to use all these products, then we just have to accept this "gift" for use in times of crisis.
