Alcohol tincture of propolis on alcohol. Propolis: application features. Proper use of tincture in treatment

The breakthrough of scientific and technical thought that has taken place in recent decades, including in medicine, has given people many innovative technologies, new vaccines and medicines for all diseases. But despite this, we are increasingly turning to folk and natural remedies for help. Agree, it is strange to refuse products unique in their medicinal properties, created by nature itself. Extraordinarily beneficial for health and immunity are the waste products of bees, among which propolis firmly occupies the leader position, it can be used to make a useful tincture.

What is propolis?

We often hear about the benefits of propolis, but we do not always understand what it is and how it looks. Propolis is the so-called bee glue. This resinous substance is used by bees to protect the hive from bacteria, microbes, and foreign objects. This application gives propolis antibacterial, disinfecting and antiseptic properties.

Another function is sealing the entrance to the hive. The unique structure of the substance allows to cope with it. Initially soft and pasty, it densely fills any holes. Over time, it hardens and becomes like rosin. And again lends itself to melting only at a temperature close to 100 ° C.

Propolis properties

The composition of propolis has not yet been fully studied. It is known that it largely depends on the properties of honey plants pollinated by bees. Therefore, in some collection regions, it may include up to 50 substances and components. Among them are a vitamin-mineral complex, flavonoids, antioxidants and organic salts.

Such a rich composition explains the wide range of applications of the bee product. Among the main functions of propolis:

antibacterial;
anticancer;
anti-inflammatory;
antitoxic;
antibiotic;
restorative;
soothing.

Types and forms of application

The list of diseases for which propolis treatment can be used is almost endless. This is really the case when it is easier to list the areas of medicine where he is powerless. The therapeutic effect primarily depends on the form of the drug. Creams, ointments, gels, pastes, oils, essences, extracts are made from bee glue. It is most effective and versatile in the form of an alcohol infusion.

Among the ailments that the propolis drug helps to cure, the top lines are occupied by diseases:

stomach and digestive system;
urinary organs and reproductive system;
skin;
respiratory tract and auditory organs;
circulatory and cardiovascular systems;
nervous system.

In addition to health purposes, propolis infusion is used as an antiseptic, it quickly helps to get rid of pain, for example, a toothache. General tonic and immunomodulatory properties allow it to be used as a prophylactic.

Recipe for alcohol tincture of propolis

To prepare a tincture at home, nothing is required except for the propolis itself and an alcohol base. But the proportions depend on what concentration of the solution you want to get. You can make a 10% or 20% solution, but it is most convenient to prepare a 50% solution and then dilute it before use. Please note that propolis medicine can only be diluted with water or milk. This is the recipe we will give.

Ingredients:

propolis - 50 grams;
medical alcohol - 450 ml.

The most optimal basis for tincture is 70% medical alcohol. You can also use edible ethyl alcohol. In extreme cases, highly purified vodka, without flavorings and additives, is suitable. Moonshine is not suitable in this case: the content of fusel oils can minimize the beneficial effect of the tincture.

Propolis cleaning

At the preparatory stage, propolis must be cleaned of foreign inclusions. We freeze it for several hours, and then grind it on a fine grater. Pour the resulting chips with cold water. After 5–10 minutes, when clean glue settles to the bottom, water and floating impurities can be drained. After drying the propolis shavings in the fresh air, we proceed to the manufacture of tinctures.

Fast cooking method

The alcohol base must be heated to 50 ° C using a water bath.
Add purified crushed propolis. Keep on fire until the mixture becomes homogeneous. At the same time, stir constantly and do not allow boiling.
Remove from heat, strain through a layered gauze or cotton pad.
Cool to room temperature. Pour into dark glass bottles and store in a cool place.

Long cooking time

This method requires more time, but less manipulation.

In a dark bottle, mix the purified crushed propolis and the alcohol base.
Infuse for 10-15 days in a dark, cool room, shaking the container every day.
After 2 weeks, filter the healing tincture from the solid sediment and pour into bottles with a tight lid.

Homemade propolis tincture can be stored in a dark, cool place for up to 3 years. But it is better to make a new one in a small amount every year. If for some reason none of the methods suits you, you can buy an infusion of alcohol at a pharmacy.

Taking propolis tincture

Alcohol infusion is properly taken both internally and externally. In the first case, it has an immunostimulating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effect. Depending on each specific disease, the dosage varies from 10 to 60 drops per glass. The medicine should be taken in the morning after meals. The course of treatment without a doctor's prescription should not exceed 1 month.

When applied externally, the analgesic, disinfecting, regenerating effect is clearly manifested. In this case, the tincture is used for compresses, wet dressings, rinsing, rubbing, irrigation.

When it comes to the treatment of children, the dosage is recalculated as follows. For each year of the child, 5% of the adult portion is added. For example, a ten-year-old child is given half the adult dose. But in the case of children, an aqueous solution should be used and be sure to follow the doctor's recommendations.

Contraindications

Despite the enormous benefits of propolis, people with allergies need to be very careful. Honey and other bee products are among the most popular allergens. Therefore, when various reactions appear: redness and itching of the skin, any discomfort, it is recommended to stop using the tincture. Other contraindications should be discussed with your doctor. Propolis is difficult to harm if used for general strengthening of the body. But serious, especially chronic, diseases are unsafe to treat on their own.

The site has an article about pure propolis, how to use it to treat various ailments

Propolis tincture for the treatment of colds, flu, acute respiratory infections and SARS

An alcoholic tincture of propolis is used orally at the first sign of a cold.

Tea with propolis and spices

If you are cold and you feel a tickle in your throat, a “stream” flows from your nose, and your head seems to be torn to pieces, then upon arrival home, immediately make yourself this medicine:

in ordinary hot black or green tea, put 1 tsp. honey, 1-2 black peppercorns, 1-2 columns of cloves, 2 teaspoons of propolis tincture and 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil. Drink hot. Repeat overnight.

Tea with propolis tincture

At runny nose, cold the most affordable remedy will be hot tea with 1 teaspoon of propolis tincture. You can drink such tea at work, on a business trip, at a party (take a bottle of tincture with you), etc. I always saved myself at work with propolis - at the first sign of a cold, I brewed tea and added tincture, and at home I was already cured “to the fullest”.

Once a good friend of mine complained that her 13-year-old daughter was too ill - it would not go away. cough, runny nose and sore throat. Plus, it gives me a headache. I advised her to give her daughter tea with ½ teaspoon of propolis, lemon and honey 3-4 times a day (I attended school as usual). The girl recovered very quickly, and her friend stopped constantly coughing and drinking Citramon for headaches, because she drank tea with her daughter “for company” (added 1 teaspoon of tincture to a cup of tea).

Attention

For people with sinusitis, severe runny nose and chronic rhinitis, the use of alcohol tincture of propolis with milk is unreasonable - milk produces mucus production, which leads to an increase in the disease.

For this reason, I advised my daughter to give tea to my friend - the girl had a bad cold.

For influenza, acute respiratory infections and SARS

mix 3 tbsp. spoons of honey, tincture of propolis and corn oil (can be sunflower or sea buckthorn). Take on an empty stomach in the morning 1 teaspoon for two weeks;
3 times a day drink half a glass of water with propolis tincture dissolved in it (20 drops). The course is 14 days. When performing such procedures, it will not be delayed for a long time.

Rinsing the nose for all colds

Yes Yes. Without this procedure, any treatment will last 2 times longer, and repetitions will constantly accompany you. The mucous membrane of the nasopharynx is a hotbed of pathogens that increase the manifestations of the disease and weaken the immune system. After I started rinsing my nose with salt water every day, 90% of colds stopped attacking my body.

If, nevertheless, the infection managed to penetrate, then you need to rinse your nose with a salt solution with propolis tincture:

For 1 st. water, take half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of propolis tincture. It is best to rinse the nose with a special device (sold in a pharmacy). I use a small porcelain teapot that has been sitting idle - it is very convenient for washing the nose.

We insert the spout of the teapot into the right nostril, tilt the head to the left - the water should pour out through the left nostril. Then we do the same, but washing the left side.

With periodontal disease

Apply undiluted propolis tincture on a cotton swab to the purulent pocket. It will be hard to bake at first!
Rinse your mouth with a solution of two tinctures and water: dilute 1 teaspoon of calendula and propolis tinctures in half a glass of water. Take the liquid in your mouth, hold for 2-3 minutes and spit it out. Do until complete recovery.

Gargling with propolis tincture

At sore throat and sore throat dilute in a glass of water 1 tbsp. a spoonful of propolis tincture and gargle 3-4 times a day. You can make a solution with citric acid, as for, and add 1 teaspoon of tincture to it.

At inflammatory diseases of the pharynx not only gargling with propolis tincture is effective, but also irrigation of the back wall of the nasopharynx with a concentrated solution:

by 0.5 st. water 2 tbsp. spoons of tincture. Stir, and using a small rubber bulb (syringe for children) or a syringe without a needle, irrigate the throat with a stream. After the procedure, do not eat or drink for 30-40 minutes.

Helps even with purulent tonsillitis.

Otitis

For otitis and cold pains (lumbago) in the ear, instill 2 drops of propolis pharmacy tincture into the ear canal. Plug your ear with a cotton ball and lie down for at least 15 minutes with the affected ear up. Read more about the treatment of otitis media in adults in this article.

The components of the product are mixed, poured into an opaque glass dish, and then placed in a dark, cool place for 2 weeks. During this time, the drug is periodically shaken. After the expiration date, the tincture is filtered through several layers of gauze. This recipe is used for all diseases that are treated with bee glue.
