Propolis with milk for coughs

A popular cold remedy based on a beekeeping product is propolis with milk. This remedy is used for coughs for both adults and children.

Essentially, propolis is bee glue with a tart and slightly bitter taste. If consumed in its pure form, it can cause numbness of the tongue. Milk softens its taste, which is especially effective in relieving pain in the throat with tonsillitis, acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections and other inflammatory lesions of the respiratory tract.

Beneficial properties of the medicinal combination:

• Rich in vitamins and minerals: riboflavin, ascorbic acid, carotene, tocopherol and others.
• Increased content of essential amino acids useful for the body.
• Improves the protective properties of the immune system.
• Increases resistance to inflammatory and infectious diseases.
• Accelerates the regeneration processes of damaged mucous membranes and tissues.
• Calming and soothing effect.

When preparing a medicinal product, you should know that propolis does not react to changes in temperature. That is, it can be heated, boiled and even frozen, which will not affect its properties.

Medicinal recipes:

• Cool the propolis to make it easier to grind it with a grater or a sharp knife. You need to prepare two spoons of the ground product. Pour 500 ml of milk into a container that can be heated and heat it up. Add propolis to the hot liquid and mix thoroughly. Boil the product over a fire for 15-20 minutes and let it brew. After cooling, carefully remove the wax crust that has formed on the surface of the milk, and pour the medicine into a bottle and put it in the refrigerator. Take ¼ cup 3-4 times a day.
• Take a pharmacy tincture of propolis with a low % of alcohol. Heat a glass of boiling water and add 20 drops of the preparation, stir and take ½ glass 2-3 times a day.

Before using the above recipes, you should make sure that there are no allergic reactions to bee products and lactose.
