Propolis is a completely natural bee product that bees collect from the leaves, stems, and buds of plants, known for its powerful antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
With a high polyphenol content and unique bioactive components, propolis has notable anti-inflammatory and antibacterial characteristics, making it beneficial for respiratory issues such as bronchitis, bronchiolitis, and asthma. Scientific studies indicate that the valuable polyphenols in propolis provide strong antioxidant effects, potentially shortening illness duration and reducing the frequency of medication use. In scientific databases, there are nearly 2,000 academic studies on the use of propolis in bronchitis.
In a randomized controlled scientific study conducted at the Italian Stomatology Institute in 2016, the effects of propolis use in 56 pediatric patients diagnosed with acute otitis media or pharyngitis were examined. As a result of the study, it was observed that the use of propolis for 72 hours reduced the severity of acute otitis media and viral pharyngitis, and reduced the use of antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Researchers have reported that propolis can benefit from its antiviral and antibacterial effects in lower and upper respiratory tract infections.
