The benefits of propolis for hemorrhoids and fissures

Propolis (uza, bee glue) is a sticky substance produced by bees. It is used by these insects for construction and disinfection purposes - for insulating the walls of the hive and sealing cracks, disinfecting honeycombs before laying eggs, mummifying other insects and debris. Over the summer, beekeepers collect only 100-150 g of product from 1 hive.

The composition of bonds includes resins, tannins and aromatic compounds, waxes, flavonoids, alcohols and minerals, and in total there are more than 200 components. About half of them are resinous substances and 30% are wax.

The effectiveness of propolis for hemorrhoids is due to its properties:

painkillers;
anti-inflammatory;
venotonic;
regenerating (wound healing);
antiseptic and antimicrobial;
antithrombotic.

Attention! Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect, bee glue has found wide use in the treatment of mucous membranes (not only in proctology, but also in gynecology and otolaryngology).

Propolis destroys most pathogenic bacteria and fungi, many types of viruses. The mild analgesic effect is due to the presence of essential oils and tannins in the composition.

cocoa butter – 50 g;
lanolin – 4 g;
propolis extract – 5 ml.

The solution that has not had time to harden is poured into them, and in this form the suppositories are sent for storage in the refrigerator.

Before each use, simply remove another candle from the foil and insert it into the anus after hygiene measures. If there is no foil, use parchment paper or polyethylene.

Enema solutions with propolis against hemorrhoids

Pour 2 tbsp. l. mixture of strawberry leaves and knotweed 300 ml of water.
Bring to a boil, simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
Let cool to 40-45°C, strain and add 2 tbsp. l. aqueous extract of propolis (sold in a pharmacy).

The infusion is filtered and propolis extract (2 tbsp) is poured into it.

Advice! To resolve hemorrhoids and relieve pain, it is effective to add a decoction of wormwood (1 tablespoon per 2 tablespoons of water) to enema solutions.

If the main goal is to relieve pain from hemorrhoids, then instead of chamomile you need to take oak bark. It contains tannins that have an antispasmodic and analgesic effect. For bleeding hemorrhoids, it is recommended to do enemas with propolis and burnet decoction.

Precautionary measures

Pregnant and lactating women should pay special attention to treatment with propolis. There is no direct contraindication to the use of the product for them, but a preliminary consultation with a doctor is required.

Also, you should not be treated with bee glue for more than a month. This is due to the fact that long-term use of propolis can lead to a decrease in immunity, in the case of hemorrhoids - local immunity. And this increases the risk of infection.

If during treatment a burning sensation, itching, swelling, or redness of the skin appears in the anal or rectal area, then you should do an enema with chamomile infusion, take an antihistamine tablet (Diazolin, Tavegil, Suprastin, etc.), and stop using propolis.

Other possible side effects:

migraine;
headache;
general weakness;
temperature increase.

It is important to understand that propolis alone cannot remove hemorrhoidal cones in the later stages of the disease. You can usually get rid of advanced hemorrhoids only through surgery.

Contraindications

The main prohibition on the use of propolis for hemorrhoids is individual intolerance to bee products and bee glue, in particular. If it is not known whether there is an allergy or not, then before starting treatment with this remedy, a small amount of tincture or aqueous extract is applied to the inner bend of the elbow and wait 4-6 hours.If there is no reaction in the form of rash, itching, peeling and swelling, then the product can be used.

Many sources say that propolis cannot be used for diabetes and bronchial asthma. In this context we are talking about oral administration. Patients with these diseases should consult a specialist regarding the treatment of hemorrhoids with suppositories, cream or tincture.

Conclusion

In complex treatment, propolis for hemorrhoids will be an effective remedy against pain and swelling in inflamed nodes. Based on bee glue, you can make cream, suppositories, tincture and solutions for enemas. When using any folk remedy, one should not forget about precautions, possible contraindications and mandatory consultation with the attending physician.
