Abstract

The propolis after honey and royal jelly is the third most important honey bee (Apis mellifera). Propolis has a significant antioxidant effect. The antioxidants in the propolis composition play a significant role in its immunogenicity indices. I wish to strengthen the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy and chemical drugs and reduce their side effects. Increasing lamb keeping time can reduce its biological properties, but the anti-bacterial activity of ethanol solution for 10 to 15 years is not only not diminished but also increased. Among the bee products, propolis have the highest mushrooming potential. Effect of propolis on protozoa on diseases such as trichomoniasis (vaginal infection), toxoplasmulosis (mumps and human and parasite infections), giardiasis (infectious stomach disease, painful diarrhea), Chagas disease (a common South American disease), Leishmaniasis (SALIK), which have been created in humans and animals, have been proven. propolis is responsible for the death of viruses and also prevents their growth and proliferation. Lamb is affecting a wide variety of viruses, the most important of which is the flu virus.
