	DETAILED DESCRIPTION
	Bees mix plant exudates with beeswax to make propolis, a paste that can be smoothed over the inside of the hive. Propolis makes the hive more secure and simultaneously provides an antiseptic coating, reducing the growth of bacteria, viruses and moulds inside the hive. Mankind has adapted this useful material to his own medical needs. How does it work? Propolis is rich in amino acids, trace elements and flavonoids, which work synergistically to provide the antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal effect. Propolis inactivates the Herpes Simplex virus which is responsible for cold sores, stopping it from replicating and at the same time reducing the likelihood of bacterial infection around the site of the cold sore. Its local anaesthetic action means the cold sore will be less painful, and studies have shown that healing time can be cut by as much as 50%. Propolis can also relieve symptoms even when applied after the tingle stage. Did you know? A double blind-placebo controlled trial of a topical 3% propolis preparation was conducted in Sweden in 2001. Thirty-three patients applied a topical treatment of propolis, while a further 35 patients applied a placebo. Patients applied the treatment or placebo five times a day as soon as possible after the cold sore episode began and continued for 12 days. They were trained to recognise the stages of cold sores and recorded their symptoms in a ‘cold sore diary’. The study found that propolis could reduce the normal healing time of cold sores from ten days to just over six days. In addition there was a significant reduction in pain reported by patients using propolis when compared to the placebo group. This improvement in symptoms was reflected by the comments of the patients on the trial. 91% of patients felt that propolis accelerated healing and 94% felt that propolis limited the size of the cold sore. Overall 82% of the patients who received propolis rated it as ‘very effective’.
