Since ancient times, people have used beekeeping products to treat various colds. In the modern world, despite the development of medicine, the popularity of these products is still high, and the spectrum of their application is wide. From what else they help, and how to take them correctly - we will tell further.
Bactericidal properties of honey and zabrus
Zabrus, or a signet of honey, is the residue formed after cutting the lids of the honeycombs. Beekeepers melt this product for wax or sell it dry. It can be used in its pure form, chewing thoroughly or chewing and swallowing, or mixed with honey (foreign honey).
The composition consists of:
- bee secretion;
- pollen
- propolis;
- beers;
- the remnants of honey.
Such a composition makes this product a natural antibiotic that treats colds, tonsillitis, and flu. For preventive and therapeutic purposes, zabrus is used according to 1 tbsp. l three times a day after meals. Keep it in your mouth for at least 10 minutes, chewing thoroughly at the same time.
Bee honey is the most common natural bactericidal agent. Although these properties, from a scientific point of view, are not well understood, in practice they have been repeatedly confirmed. Phytoncides and enzymes that persist in the product for years can inhibit the development of pathogens. Bactericidal honey from fir, spruce or pine shows the best bactericidal properties. Among the flower varieties of the product, chestnut is the leader.
In order not to harm the body, an adult can consume 100-150 g of honey per day, dividing this dose into several doses. For better assimilation of the product, it should be taken 1.5–2 hours before eating or 3 hours after. It is most effective to take it with warm boiled water, tea, milk.
