Why is propolis good for the throat?
Propolis, which is contained in all three products, is a hive material made from the resin collected by honey bees from plant shoots, buds, and bark, mixed with their own secretions. It is said to be a natural antibacterial substance, and in fact, the properties of the resin collected by the bees are the reason why it is good for the throat.
When plants are injured, they secrete resin to protect their wounds, and they also send a substance with antibacterial properties to shoots and buds to protect them from pathogenic microorganisms.
Propolis, which is made by honey bees using the resin containing the antibacterial effect, has been used for human health since ancient times.
The reason why propolis is expected to have a positive effect on the throat is that the resin produced by plants has antibacterial properties,” according to scientific evidence!
