A mixture of propolis with milk is a therapeutic and prophylactic agent, the use of which helps strengthen the immune system and restore health. The drink fights diseases of the digestive system, skin, endocrine glands, respiratory organs, musculoskeletal system and other ailments.
Composition and beneficial properties of propolis with milk
In the spring, as soon as aspen, birch, poplar, alder and other trees open their buds, bees begin to collect substances from them that have adhesive properties. Under the influence of enzymes secreted by insects, bioactive compounds are converted into a valuable product - propolis (use).
The bonds were found to contain:
- waxes;
- pollen;
- natural antibiotics;
- organic acids;
- proteins (albumin);
- alcohols;
- Sahara;
- minerals;
- vitamins;
- oils;
- resins and other useful compounds.
It is difficult to treat with pure propolis. It is bitter and unpleasant to the taste, burns the mucous membranes of the mouth, and the effect of black wax makes the tongue numb. Swallowing uzou is useless (solid pieces of tar in the stomach and intestines do not undergo changes and do not have a therapeutic effect), it must be absorbed. In the mouth, under the action of enzymes secreted into saliva, black wax softens and dissolves, is absorbed into the blood and only after that has a therapeutic effect.
Bee glue dissolves in ethyl alcohol without heating. Many useful substances pass into the alcohol extract. Propolis can withstand high-temperature treatment without losing its beneficial properties. An aqueous extract and propolis milk are prepared from it.
Whole milk contains fat. When heated, bee glue contains fat-soluble compounds (vitamins, oils) that are unable to take an easily digestible form in water and alcohol. Milk softens the tart taste of propolis and enhances its healing properties.

Allergy sufferers, in response to taking the medicine, develop rashes, itchy skin, headache, weakness, and fever. If adverse reactions occur, treatment with the mixture is stopped.
To determine individual intolerance to propolis, a test is done. A piece of tar is secured with a plaster on the wrist. If signs of allergy do not appear within 24 hours, the mixture of milk and uzy can be taken without fear.
The medicine is not used to treat people who are lactose intolerant.
Propolis is a strong allergen; people with hypersensitivity should not take products based on it.
Do not increase the dosage or exceed the treatment course. Propolis is a powerful immunomodulator and biostimulator. With long-term treatment and exceeding the dose, the therapeutic effect of the milk formula decreases, the body becomes accustomed to the drug, and the immune system is suppressed. The body, relying on the power of the medicine, loses its protective functions. When you stop taking it, pathogens easily penetrate tissues and organs.

Recipes for making tinctures
There are a lot of different methods for preparing propolis, let's look at the most popular and effective of them.
So, the recipe for propolis with cough milk:
- You will need to take half a liter of milk, as well as propolis itself in the amount of 2 tbsp.
- After this, the milk is poured into the container and all the crushed bee glue is added to it. Further. you need to mix everything thoroughly.
- Now the composition should be put on low heat and boiled for a quarter of an hour, after which the medicine should be passed through a filter (several layers of gauze).
- As a result, after the drug has cooled, wax forms at the top; it should be removed.
- Next, the finished broth can be poured into a clean container and stored in the refrigerator.
And this medicine is used 1 tsp. half an hour before meals. This recipe allows you to cope with coughs, viral infections, and also helps with gastrointestinal diseases.
There is another good way to prepare cough medicine. Its recipe looks like this:
- You will need to buy a ready-made propolis tincture in alcohol at the pharmacy.
- Then you should take a little milk (about 0.5 cups) in which to dilute 20-25 drops of tincture.
- If a person does not tolerate milk well, then the tincture can be diluted in 1 tbsp. or a quarter glass of milk.
- Drink an alcoholic tincture of propolis with milk before a meal 15-20 minutes.
If a child is sick and exhibits cold symptoms, then the same recipe should be used, but prepared in different proportions. Thus, for preschool children, you should prepare 2 drops of bee glue, for about 70 grams of milk. If the child has already reached 8 years of age or more, the dosage may be slightly increased.
It is better to give milk with propolis to children immediately at the first sign of a cold. Then the result of application will be immediately noticeable. In this case, it is better to give the child to drink the prepared medicine before bedtime.
The recipes described above can help cure a cold overnight. Moreover, the method of using the drug is the same for both colds and gastrointestinal diseases. Traditional healers recommend undergoing a whole course of treatment, which lasts 10 days, after which, if necessary, the reception should be repeated, but after a break of 3 weeks. For preventive purposes, propolis should be used for 5 days, and for ulcers and gastritis, you will need to take the medicine for 10 days with breaks for 6 months.
As a rule, bee glue and milk cannot harm the body, but there are some contraindications for propolis tincture with milk, which consist of individual intolerance to the products. In order to identify allergies in advance, you should apply a piece of propolis to the skin and stick it with a band-aid. If after 24 hours there is no redness, rash or itching on the skin, you can safely treat it with a bee product.
- 1. Useful properties
- 2. Indications for use
- 2.1. Strengthening the immune system
- 2.2. Colds
- 2.3. Gastrointestinal problems
A universal antiseptic, propolis has a lot of medicinal properties. Extracted or in its pure form, it is used externally and internally. However, it cannot always be used in the form of extracts without additional dilution. Most often, propolis tincture is combined with milk.
This healthy and tasty product is easily accepted by children and does not interfere with the diet for gastrointestinal diseases. In the practice of traditional medicine, it is rare to treat a cold, cough or throat without warm milk. In addition to propolis, you can add honey, herbal extracts or a little butter to it and then the miraculous effect is guaranteed by nature itself.
Milk softens the sharp, even burning taste of propolis and takes on its pleasant balsamic smell. Such a mixture becomes an independent medicine, the pharmacokinetics of which is based on the beneficial properties of bee glue, softened and adapted for oral administration with large amounts of milk.
Beneficial features
Propolis is recognized as a fairly strong natural antibiotic. It copes well with diseases caused by:
- viruses;
- bacteria;
- fungi;
- other pathogenic microorganisms.
It is able to stop their growth and stop their spread, in addition, it is recommended as a means of potentiating the effect of drugs.
When using propolis-based preparations, the following is also observed:
- anesthetic;
- anti-inflammatory;
- antitoxic;
- tonic effect.
Therefore, bee glue is used for seasonal diseases that occur during the period of greatest vulnerability of the immune system:
- colds;
- bronchitis;
- sore throat;
- tonsillitis;
- laryngitis;
- pneumonia.
Its bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect is actively used in conservative therapy, even in the treatment of peptic ulcers.
Considering that its pharmacological properties are associated primarily with immunomodulating and bactericidal effects, its use in the treatment of pancreatitis can only have an indirect effect in the form of strengthening the immune system.
The use of traditional medicine is possible only after diagnosis and consultation with a doctor. Self-medication, uncontrolled use of potent substances, in particular propolis, without supervision by specialists can have negative consequences and cause great harm to health.
In addition to the approval of the attending physician for taking propolis, it is necessary to remember that all beekeeping products have contraindications, namely allergies. Due to its rich composition, bee glue is one of the most serious allergens. It can cause swelling, hyperemia and itching of tissues. Do not neglect tests for individual intolerance.
What are the benefits of propolis with milk?
Indications for use
The biological activity of propolis in natural conditions is used by bees to disinfect hives and preserve products of possible decomposition. Use in folk medicine is also associated with the ability to prevent the development of viruses and bacteria in the absence of contraindications.
Strengthening the immune system
Prevention of disease is the best way to treat it. Not everyone remembers this, although seasonal panic from all kinds of viruses and infections has already become a common annual occurrence.
To prevent the negative consequences of a decrease in overall tone and weakened immunity, it makes sense to turn to proven apitherapy.
The most common of them is propolis with milk. At the same time, other beekeeping products, such as honey, should not be neglected. Together they are able to patch up any gaps in the immune system.
When using them to improve immunity, it is necessary to prepare for a long course, it lasts 1-3 months and requires repetition twice a year, best in autumn and early spring. The effectiveness of such tools requires a systematic approach and regular use. Use for an adult involves daily intake of 5-10 ml of 10-15% alcohol tincture three times a day with a glass of milk on an empty stomach. Use in this way not only helps strengthen the body’s natural defenses, but also treats many diseases.
For children, using the same regimen, the dosage is a maximum of one drop for each year of life per dose. It is not recommended for children under three years of age to take this medication.
Colds
Timely prevention certainly works wonders. If it is not treated, a cold with all its unpleasant manifestations will not keep you waiting. Cough, fever, sore throat, runny nose, all these symptoms are easily treatable.
Drinking propolis with milk is recommended in the same way as when strengthening the immune system, however, it is better to postpone one of the methods to the time before bedtime. It is strictly not recommended to increase the dose, as this may provoke artificial intolerance. However, in severe cases, an alcohol extract is used in a higher concentration - up to 20%.
Propolis will be an excellent alternative to nasal drops, for which you need to use an aqueous extract of 1-5%, about 2-3 drops up to 3 times a day.
Gastrointestinal problems
The ability of propolis to stop the reproduction and development of pathogenic microorganisms also applies to Helicobacter pylori. It is this type of bacteria that causes peptic ulcers.
Considering the specificity of the treatment of diseases caused by Helicobacter pylori in traditional medicine, propolis with milk fits well into the recommended diet and promotes a speedy recovery: in addition to its direct effects, propolis is able to potentiate the effect of antibiotics.
Taking propolis for gastrointestinal diseases is possible only with the consent of a gastroenterologist and under his supervision.
If the possibility of treatment with traditional medicine is approved and there is no allergy, then propolis with milk can be used. In this case, it is better to start with small doses, being attentive to the slightest reaction of the body to treatment:
In this case, symptoms such as pain and sucking sensations in the stomach area disappear, in addition to nausea and heartburn.
There was experience in therapy with loading doses of propolis: 40-50 drops three times a day of alcohol tincture with a concentration of 30% in milk. The results obtained indicate the great effectiveness of this treatment. However, as a result, the appearance of artificial intolerance was observed in more than 6% of the experimental group. Therefore, increasing the concentration and increasing the single dose is not recommended.
Having a specific sharp, burning taste and strong smell, bee glue, unlike honey, always remains a medicine. A strong concentration can certainly have a greater effect, however, the consequences of taking it for the body are ambiguous, so it is necessary to adhere to the instructions, pay close attention to contraindications and carry out treatment under the supervision of specialists.
A warm, spicy cocktail of milk with propolis is a wonderful folk remedy for use against many diseases. The magic potion has a complex effect on the body: by setting the goal of getting rid of a sore throat, you will simultaneously cure, for example, chronic gastritis, which has been bothering you for many years. And at the same time, a painful boil will disappear without a trace - the healing mixture perfectly eliminates skin problems.
Healing cocktail of propolis with milk
Milk and propolis - these wonderful gifts of nature, when united, with redoubled force show all their best beneficial qualities, strengthen them and direct them for the benefit of man!
Propolis
One of the most amazing products of nature is propolis, oza, and bee glue. Scientists to this day cannot formulate with complete certainty how exactly bees produce this inconspicuous-looking resinous substance. It is generally accepted that ouse is a product of fermentation by bees of sticky spring resins, which they collect from plants and flavor with pollen additives.
However, even in ancient times, people noticed and appreciated the unique properties of this truly folk remedy. It was used to sterilize wounds and surgical instruments by the ancient Incas, who, by the way, even successfully performed craniotomy! Every Roman legionnaire was required to carry a piece of propolis with him to treat wounds. And the ancient Egyptians included bee glue in the secret formulas of potions for embalming the bodies of the pharaohs.
Only the bees themselves know exactly why they need propolis. They simply would not be able to survive without this strange substance - at the same time hard and viscous, in all shades of brown. The hive uses all the properties of propolis. Protecting the life of the family and the peace of the bee house, the bond works here as
By the way, modern pharmacology is not yet able to synthesize an effective natural antibiotic that is part of bee glue. Researchers have not yet fully decided how propolis can be used - there are still many great discoveries to be made in this industry.
Why is it effective?
But what is known today about the composition of this unique substance is impressive and attracts the close attention of traditional healers to it. However, the bond does not have any stable formula - whatever the bees were able to collect, they created glue from it in a very creative way.
More than half of propolis consists of waxes and resins, which in turn contain flavonoids, fatty and aromatic acids, alcohols and esters. Impurities of pollen also add proteins and amino acids. In addition, propolis contains a huge complex of vitamins and minerals, as well as sugars, steroids, lactones, ketones, quinones...
All useful components and the best qualities of propolis are completely extracted into alcohol and are perfectly preserved in the form of such an extract. Alcohol tincture can be purchased at a pharmacy, or you can make it yourself. How to prepare propolis tincture yourself? It's not difficult - you will need:
Preparation:
The better the propolis is crushed, the more healing the tincture; from large pieces the extract will be weak
The alcohol for infusion can be replaced with vodka, but in this case the concentration of nutrients in the extract will be lower.

Cautions
Do not under any circumstances diagnose yourself based on symptoms from the Internet, and especially do not prescribe medications for healing in the same way. Self-medication has never brought anyone any good. Only a qualified doctor can accurately determine what disease you suffer from, prescribe an individual treatment regimen and, in particular, advise specific dosages and timing of taking propolis with milk - if this folk remedy is indicated in your case. But consider it only as an auxiliary element of the main treatment.
There are few contraindications, but they are significant. Individual intolerance to the components of the mixture is possible: indigestibility of lactose or an allergy to honey products - these options categorically exclude the use of the product.
We should not forget that propolis tincture contains alcohol. Therefore, the healing cocktail should be used with caution and only after consultation with a doctor during pregnancy and breastfeeding. A compromise solution for pregnant women and small children may be a significant reduction in dosage, but it is still better to replace the alcohol base of the propolis extract with water or prepare propolis in milk without alcohol according to the above recipe.
It is very important to follow the regularity of intake, rules and dosages appropriate to the disease. Propolis is a very active substance, and its overdose can do more harm than good.
During the winter, our body receives fewer vitamins, becomes weaker and can quickly catch an infection. Fortunately, there is propolis, which will save us from health problems during the cold season. It prevents bacteria and viruses from entering the body and perfectly strengthens the immune system. By itself, this beekeeping product is extremely tasteless. Its bitterness can cause a burning sensation in the mouth and numbness of the tongue. However, a mixture of propolis with milk will soften the taste of the medicine and enhance its anti-inflammatory effect.
Beneficial properties of propolis with milk
Milk tincture of propolis is considered more effective than water tincture.

Propolis is rich in substances that are vital for bees and provide great benefits to human health. It contains amino acids important for the immune system, vitamins A, P, E, C and group B, magnesium, potassium, albumin, calcium and phosphorus. Thanks to this composition, bee glue has many medicinal properties:
- antiviral;
- antibacterial;
- anti-inflammatory;
- antifungal;
- antioxidant;
- provides protection of the body from the “invasion” of infections;
- helps heal wounds;
- saturates with energy.
Propolis is an excellent “weapon” against colds and viruses, and in combination with milk it turns into an “atomic bomb” for pathogenic bacteria. This useful solution will help cope with the flu and respiratory diseases, as well as improve your well-being, calm your nerves and normalize sleep.
