Patient Education

Propolis


What is it? Propolis is a resin-like material made by bees from the buds of poplar and cone-bearing trees. Propolis is rarely available in its pure form. It is usually obtained from beehives and contains bee products. Bees use propolis to build their hives.

Propolis is used for diabetes, cold sores, and swelling (inflammation) and sores inside the mouth (oral mucositis). It is also used for burns, canker sores, genital herpes, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): There is no good evidence to support using propolis for COVID-19. Follow healthy lifestyle choices and proven prevention methods instead.
