Non-traditional methods of treating gastritis

How is propolis formed?

Bees are the oldest inhabitants of the planet. Bee products are of great importance for human health.

Scientists cannot determine with certainty how bees make propolis. One theory is that they produce it from pollen and water. Other scientists believe that the raw material for propolis is resin from the buds of alder, willow, spruce, plum, and sunflower.

Thanks to its properties, bees cope with viruses, various bacteria and fungi. They use propolis to seal cracks and polish the cells in which the offspring grows. It is used to disinfect dead larvae before removing them from the hive.

How can you check the quality of propolis?

How to properly use propolis tincture with alcohol to treat the stomach? This will be discussed further. Now we need to figure out how to determine the quality of propolis.

When it is removed from the hive in the warm season, it can be easily kneaded with your fingers. Propolis can be scraped off from frames of 100-150 g and stored for 5 years in a dark place.

Fresh beekeeping product is elastic, the color ranges from dark green to gray. Fresh propolis smells of resin, honey and pine needles.

Its taste is hot. The resinous substance is highly soluble in alcohol and acetic acid.

Propolis melts well at temperatures from 80 to 100 degrees. At temperatures below -15 degrees it begins to crumble. If you boil propolis for an hour, it completely retains its medicinal properties.

To reduce the amount of impurities in propolis, it is sometimes melted in a water bath. If after processing the ball sinks to the bottom in the water, then we can say that the product is of high quality.

Composition of propolis tincture

Propolis is available in the form of aqueous extracts, ointments, emulsions, lozenges, alcohol tinctures, etc. It is an aromatic liquid with a slightly bitter taste.

What is included in propolis tincture with alcohol? This:

• organic acids that are found in the sap of the plant;

• macro- and microelements (copper, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, etc.);
• vitamins (B, E, C, A);
• essential oils.

Bees take all these components from flowers, leaves and other parts of the plant. Then they process it into the most valuable substance - propolis.

The essence of the method

To treat a stomach ulcer, it is necessary for the organ to calm down, thereby reducing acidity. Clean drinking water can overcome many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This is due to the fact that stomach mucus consists mainly of water (98%) and only a small part of mucins (2%). Sodium bicarbonate retains liquid and neutralizes excess pH. The result of this process is the appearance of salt, which also provokes changes in the functionality of mucins. The mucus becomes more vulnerable, which causes ulcers to appear on the walls of the stomach.

Frequent consumption of water neutralizes acidity and protects the functionality of mucus.
