with
tinidazole).
Some
authors described the
use
of
propolis
in the
following
therapies:
acute
colitis,
chronic
colitis,
acute
gastric
ulcers,
and
acute
duodenal ulcers
(Gorbatenko,
1971;
Makarov
1972;
Nikolov
et al, 1973;
Kabanov et al,
1989).
Propolis
in
odontology
Paintz and Metzner
(1979)
verified the
anaesthetic
properties
of
propolis.
Scheller
et al (1978),
Gafar
et al (1986), Magro
Filho
and Perri de
Carvalho
(1990)
and
Ding
et
al (1993)
observed
regeneration
of dental
pulp
with
gangrene
in the presence of propo-
lis.
The
healing
effect of
propolis
was
eval-
uated
in
periodontitis
(Wang
et al,
1993),
plaque
and
gingivitis (Neumann
et al,
1986)
and buccal
affections
(Draganova
et
al,
1989).
Neumann
et al (1986)
suggested
that
a
propolis preparation
could be
a
useful sub-
sidiary
treatment in
oral
hygiene.
Other
propolis
uses
in
therapy
The
use
of
propolis
has been
reported
for
other diseases
(human
and
veterinary)
including
osteoarthritis
(Lin
et al,
1993b),
eyes diseases
(Popescu
et al,
1993),
as
an
antiinflammatory agent (Mihail
et al,
1984;
Christova,
1985;
Busciglio,
1988;
Soboleva
et al, 1990;
Olinescu,
1991;
Fierro
Morales,
1994), angiology (Gonzalez
et al,
1988/1989)
and
orthopedic
treatment
(Que-
sada and
Cueto,
1988/1989).
The diverse
use
of
propolis
in clinical trials shows
that
its
therapeutic
efficacy
lies
mainly
in diseases
caused
by
microbial contaminations.
DISCUSSION
Based
on
the very
complex
chemical
com-
position
of
propolis
and its
pharmacologi-
cal and
therapeutic properties,
we
conclude
that
propolis
is
a
very
powerful
natural
prod-
uct
produced by
bees. It
can
be used
to
treat
human and
veterinary
diseases with
great
success.
Nevertheless,
it
is evident
that
propolis
cannot
be
a
remedy
for all dis-
eases
and any who make such claims
are
guilty
of
deception
and harm the
reputation
of all hive
products (Tóth, 1985).
The
great
problem
with
propolis,
as
with
some
other
hive
products,
is that its
composition
varies
with the
flora of
a
given
area,
the time of
collection and the inclusion of
wax
contam-
inants. This further adds
to
the
problem
of
defining
propolis
for
medicinal
use
since the
product’s quality
varies
so
greatly. Although
standardization is
possible
in
principle,
exact
chemical
tests
have
not
been
applied yet
for
the purpose
of
quality
control. The
problem
of
quality
control is well
demonstrated
by
the
propolis products currently
marketed in
various countries
(Tóth, 1985).
It is
expected
that this review will
provide
some
aid
to
fur-
ther
investigations
about
propolis,
"the pur-
ple gold
of the beehive"
(Asis, 1989).
