Side effects of propolis

May 11, 2023
Propolis is a natural health care substance made from honey, which has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-radiation and other effects, and is very suitable for home health care, although it is a health care product, but also belongs to the scope of Chinese medicine, as the saying goes, "medicine is three parts poisonous", so what are the side effects of this propolis?

Allergies

Propolis has a very complex composition, which is mainly related to the variety of raw materials collected by bees, especially these raw materials are mostly pollen, which is a highly allergenic substance, so people with allergies have a high risk of allergies when eating propolis.

Miscarriage

Propolis contains a lot of flavonoids and flavonols, which will promote the synthesis of estrogen after consumption, and will directly cause uterine contractions after large intake.

Inhibits growth and development

Propolis, like honey, is not suitable for infants and young children, mainly because of its complex composition and the inhibitory effect of many substances on the growth and development of infants and young children.

Asthma

Many people who are not allergic to pollen may develop asthma after eating propolis, especially if they have asthma, which can increase significantly.

Precautions for taking propolis

1. Propolis has a complex composition and has its own toxic side effects, so you should not take other western medicines that have toxic side effects when taking propolis. 2. Many of the active ingredients in propolis are water-soluble substances, so when consuming it as a tonic health product, you need to drink it with a lot of water.
