健康产业一直使用天然产品作为替代品，以传统的对抗疗法配方可用于治疗各种痛苦。蜂胶是一种天然抗生素，是蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）从树芽，汁液，灌木或其他植物来源收集的一种黄褐色至深棕色物质，用于密封蜂巢中不需要的开放空间，保护其免受外部污染。存在于植物中的主要化学类别是类黄酮、酚类化合物和其他各种芳香族化合物。黄酮类化合物是众所周知的具有抗细菌、抗真菌、抗病毒、抗氧化和抗炎特性的植物化合物。蜂胶一般用于各种目的，在未来的医学和牙科中具有很好的作用。本文综述了该化合物在医学上的各种应用。
The health industry has always used natural products as an alternative, to the conventional allopathic formulations available for the treatment of various afflictions. Propolis, a natural antibiotic is a resinous yellow brown to dark brown substance that honey bees (Apis mellifera) collect from tree buds, sapflows, shrubs or other botanical sources to seal unwanted open spaces in the hive, protecting it from outside contaminants. The main chemical classes present in propolis are flavonoids, phenolics and other various aromatic compounds. Flavonoids are well known plant compounds that have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Propolis has been used in general for various purposes and has a promising role in future medicine as well as in dentistry. This paper is an attempt to review various applications of this compound in medicine.
