CARAMELOS PROPÓLEO Y MENTOL
Propolis
Propolis is an apicultural product that bees make with the resins and secretions of certain trees - especially conifers - located near the apiary. Propolis is a material that protects the hive and preserves the environment, with remarkable balsamic and anti-infective virtues. In its highly varied chemical composition, propolis contains aromatic oils, resins, balsams and pollen. Menthol causes a sensation of freshness and a certain analgesic effect that synergizes the antitussive action.
Properties
The chemical composition of propolis is very complex; it has around three hundred different components, many of which have different properties. Numerous scientific studies point out the benefits of propolis while identifying flavonoids as the ones responsible for said benefits, mainly on microorganisms, as a pain reliever and also as regards tissue repairs in cases of burns and injuries. Other outstanding benefits are the prevention of respiratory tract infections, making it an effective protector of the throat and vocal cords, as well as for the treatment of canker sores and oral abscesses.Formula
