Honey is a natural sweet substance produced by bees from floral nectar and sugary secretions from other parts of plants.
It is composed of approximately 75 – 80% carbohydrates, 0.38% proteins, 0.1% acids from fruits and 0.2% minerals. In addition to its nutritional properties, honey provides sedative and emollient effects.
Propolis is a complex blend, formed by resinous and balsamic material collected from plants by Apis mellifera bees, in addition to saliva and enzymes added by the bees themselves.
Its chemical composition is mainly determined by phytogeographic characteristics, such as type of vegetation, season of the year and environmental conditions around the beehives. This makes it possible to obtain multiple types of propolis.
The use of propolis in folk medicine dates back to 300 BC as an extract, and it is still object of study by many researchers in various parts of the world. These studies have proven the propolis benefits, which include immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, healing, antifungal, antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities.
Propolis acts on the immune system balance through its immunomodulatory action, in addition to its other proven properties, as documented in the scientific literature: anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, healing, antifungal, antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity.
Original from South America, guaco (Mikania glomerata) is found throughout Brazil. It has known beneficial effects on the respiratory system.
Coumarin, and essential oils, such as kaurenoic, grandifloric, cinnamoylgrandifloric and kaurenol acids, are some of the substances of its composition. Additionally, it contains β-sitosterol, friedelin, stigmasterol, hydrolysable tannins, flavonoids and saponin.
Studies have reported that guaco causes bronchodilation and relaxation of the respiratory smooth muscles, followed by anti-inflammatory and antiallergic activities, which are extremely beneficial in the treatment of asthma and other respiratory diseases.
