It also increases the survival rate of animals infected with Staphylococcus aureus or Trichomonas. It delays the onset and shortens the duration of fever caused by heat (milk). When used in combination with ginseng, it reduces the mortality rate of animals under adverse conditions such as cold, low air pressure and hypoxia, fasting and water deprivation, and carbon tetrachloride poisoning.
(2) Promoting tissue and cell regeneration: Honeybee milk has a regenerative effect on cells, mainly by replacing aging cells with new cells, enhancing tissue respiration and oxygen consumption, and promoting metabolism. Small doses of honeybee milk can promote growth, while large doses can inhibit growth.
