Use
What is the Melia Propolis?
Propolis Melia is a commercial supplement product in the form of natural sap produced by honey bees when making nests. The texture of sticky propolis is greenish brown. The sap is made from a mixture of bee saliva, beeswax (beeswax), and several other ingredients.
Researchers have found that there are approximately 300 types of active compounds contained in bee propolis. Among them are resins, balsams, aromatic oils, pollen, and other organic materials.
Flavonoids are compounds with the largest proportion of propolis. According to Journal of food science , the flavonoids in propolis are included in antioxidants that counteract the effects of free radicals that cause damage to body cells.
Some of the benefits of propolis as an herbal medicine are treating canker sores, warts, and digestive disorders such as H. pylori infection which causes stomach ulcers.
In addition, propolis is also commonly used by Indonesian people to treat various infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. For example, tuberculosis and ISPA (bacterial infection) as well as HIV, H1N1 "swine flu", the common cold, and genital herpes (viral infections).
Melia Propolis is also used to help treat vaginitis and cancer of the nose and throat.
In some cases, propolis is also used as an ingredient in cosmetics.

Side effects
What are the possible side effects of Propolis Melia?
So far there has not been sufficient valid medical research to conclude the safety of propolis. Propolis is generally classified as a low-risk herbal product, but that doesn't mean it doesn't cause side effects at all.
Melia Propolis is possibly safe when applied to the skin in moderation. However if you have an allergy to bees, pollen, or other bee products such as honey or beeswax , the possibility of using propolis will also cause an allergic skin reaction.
Seek medical help immediately if a severe (anaphylactic) allergic reaction occurs due to lysine consumption, such as:
- skin rash
- difficulty breathing
- swelling of the face, tongue, lips, or throat
The side effect of this allergic reaction often occurs if you are a person who works closely with bees, such as beekeepers, or uses this herb for a long time.
Not everyone experiences side effects of prostis. There may be some side effects not listed above. If you have concerns about certain side effects, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
