One of the causes of diseases such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, and inflammation of the duodenum is often the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. But in folk medicine there are many recipes for treating Helicobacter with propolis. After all, the healing properties of this drug have been known since ancient times.

Helicobacter pylori bacterium

Helicobacter pylori is a rather unpleasant microorganism. It causes unpleasant and dangerous diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in humans.

To counteract this microorganism, you will need complex therapy. However, traditional medicine advises using beekeeping products as one of the main medicines.

It is well known in folk medicine that problems with the gastrointestinal tract can be effectively eliminated through the use of propolis.

First of all, if you have unpleasant symptoms of problems with the gastrointestinal tract, you must make sure what is causing your discomfort. To do this, you need to go for examination to a gastroenterologist. In addition to consulting with such a specialist, you will have to undergo a series of tests to check your condition.

To determine your diagnosis, first of all, experts recommend taking a blood test. Next, you will need to compare the levels of the bacteria we are considering in your blood with existing standards.

The attending physician will easily be able to draw the correct conclusion about your condition. However, you yourself can cope with this task if you know the existing standards.

It is no secret that the normal level of this bacterium in the blood is no more than 0.9 units per milliliter of red liquid flowing through your veins. If your score is lower, then you can consider that your health in this regard is normal.

If your results are between 0.9 and 1.1 units of bacteria per milliliter of blood, your doctor will likely recommend further testing. Only based on its results, it will be possible to draw conclusions about the need for your further treatment.

If the level of the indicator in question in your analysis is higher than 1.1 units per milliliter of blood, then the doctor can say with a clear conscience that you are the owner of this diagnosis. In this case, your doctor will definitely send you for an additional examination, which is a test for anti-Helicobacter pylori bodies.

You may need other tests as well. For example, a breath test for the presence of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. In addition, you may need the following tests:

• saliva;
• dental plaque;
• feces

All these examinations will reveal the results of the life activity of this bacterium in your body. A biopsy of the mucous membrane of your gastrointestinal tract will also help you make a diagnosis.

Antibacterial drugs

Macmiror destroys the parasite's genetic material.

The choice of antibacterial drugs that can cope with Helicobacter is small. This is "Trichopol" or "Metronidazole", or "Makmiror".

Trichopolum and Metronidazole are complete analogues. The main active ingredient of the drug, metronidazole, penetrates the microorganism and breaks down, releasing toxic substances.

They destroy the parasite's genetic material. The main active ingredient of Macmiror is nifuratel. It simultaneously inhibits the growth of bacteria and prevents the proliferation of microorganisms.

The peculiarity of this drug is that nifuratel does not reduce the patient’s overall immunity, but, on the contrary, improves the body’s defenses. Macmiror is a second-line drug. It is prescribed if treatment with metronidazole does not give the expected result. This medicine is used in the treatment of peptic ulcers in children.

Diseases caused by bacteria

Helicobacter pylori causes disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, you may experience the following diseases:

As you can see, the consequences of the activity of this bacterium are very serious. This means that if you detect any unpleasant symptoms of this disease, you must urgently begin the treatment process.

Patients who are found to have the microorganism we are considering must follow a fairly strict diet. It is also known medically as Table 3.

This diet is often prescribed to patients suffering from gastritis. It will be quite easy to follow.

Why is it necessary to follow such a diet? With its help you can strengthen the walls of your gastrointestinal tract. Such patients are recommended to use ingredients such as dried apricots, honey and propolis in their food.

The fact is that digesting these foods does not require a large amount of gastric juice. This means that your body will not be subject to additional stress.

Treatment with propolis tincture

To counteract the activity of this bacterium, many people advise using a tincture based on beekeeping products. It will help minimize the activity of this harmful microorganism.

Often, patients suffering from gastritis also suffer from such ailments as dysbiosis. It manifests itself in the fact that the number of beneficial microorganisms in the patient’s intestines is insufficient relative to the norm.

Instead of beneficial microflora, the harmful bacterium Helicobacter pylori develops in the gastrointestinal tract. It can be combated using both official and traditional medicine.

Beekeeping products are recognized in both folk and official medicine. After all, this natural medicine has a positive effect on both the gastrointestinal tract and the general condition of the human body.

It can be used to treat patients regardless of their age. However, when choosing a dosage, this indicator must be taken into account. In addition, the dose should depend on such an indicator as the patient’s weight.

However, beekeeping products do not cause any side effects in patients. The exception is those cases when a person exhibits individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

You can check the presence of contraindications using special tests and consultation with an allergist. In general, beekeeping products differ from other drugs in that they have a complex effect on the human body.

Therefore, such a natural drug can be safely offered to the youngest patients to counteract Helicobacter pylori. At the same time, there is no need to be afraid that this remedy will have a harmful effect on the child’s fragile body.

To treat or not to treat

We believe that some readers have already gone to treat gastritis. We inform others that it is better for children to hold off on using propolis in alcohol. Dissolve the active ingredient in ordinary water for children. It's much healthier and safer. Scientists are not yet ready to say why propolis tincture helps with Helicobacter pylori, but the effect is obvious. All that remains is to cure the patients and document this fact.

However, today you can safely take propolis against Helicobacter. Wikipedia lists a number of solvents, some of which are not suitable for treating humans:

1. Ammonia.
2. Petrol.
3. Methanol.
4. Ethanol.
5. Strong acetic acid.

It remains to recommend the method of the state Central Research Institute, where the employee prepared not a tincture of alcohol, but a solution. The propolis was boiled in a water bath for an hour. This is necessary so that the elevated temperature does not destroy the beneficial properties. Try using this technique for Helicobacter the next time you think about treatment.

This is an excellent medicine for both the stomach and liver. Natural and harmless, unlike the mass of antibiotics, which also have a negative effect on beneficial microflora. It is not without reason that doctors are faced with the fact that after Helicobacter they have to treat dysbacteriosis. A vicious circle of diseases is formed. Don't hit it!

Reviews

What do patients say about the treatment process? Everyone notes the rapid onset of positive effects from taking this natural medicine.

There are a huge number of traditional medicine recipes in which beekeeping products are the main means of combating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

However, when carrying out treatment you should not overdo it. It is believed that the maximum dose of propolis per day should not exceed five grams. If you exceed this limit, it may cause side effects.

Beekeeping products can be used not only for medicinal but also for preventive purposes. And the task of prevention is of particular importance given the fact that the disease in question is quite difficult to diagnose, as well as to cure if it has become chronic.

As a preventive measure, hygiene standards must be observed. First of all, wash your hands on time, especially before eating.

It is recommended to use only clean dishes and cutlery. It is important to use exclusively personal hygiene products, especially if your loved ones suffer from gastrointestinal diseases.

If you notice symptoms of this disease, try taking beekeeping products an hour before each new meal. It must first be diluted in water or milk.

Full diagnostics

Treatment must be carried out exclusively under the supervision of a doctor. After a full examination and diagnosis. Self-medication for gastrointestinal diseases is dangerous because pathological processes without timely diagnosis and classical therapy can quickly acquire a character that threatens not only health, but also life.

Propolis is good to use to prevent and prevent the development of pathogenic microorganisms in the digestive organs. Especially with negative life factors that provoke health problems:

• poor nutrition;
• lack of a convenient mode;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• constant stress.

The effectiveness of the preventive use of propolis has been proven by the practice of traditional medicine. However, the effect will be much stronger if you adjust your diet and exclude irritating foods from your diet, or at least limit the consumption of fried and fatty foods. But in any case, it is better to consult your doctor first and use all his recommendations. Only then will measures against Helicobacter pylori be successful.

What are the symptoms of the disease

Living in the digestive organs, the bacterium does not make itself felt at all for some time. Depending on immunity, age, concomitant diseases, sooner or later the following symptoms may occur:

• aching pain in the epigastric region;
• feeling of heaviness in the stomach;
• the body categorically rejects some food;
• frequent belching and gagging, especially in the morning;
• burning in the esophagus;
• bloating and increased gas production.

The listed signs appear sooner or later with varying frequency. They can appear and disappear, and remind themselves again only after a few years, or, having appeared, become constant companions.

Note! When infected with Helicobacter pylori, the use of non-steroidal analgesics has an extremely negative effect on the gastric mucosa. While bringing short-term relief, these drugs contribute to the occurrence of peptic ulcers, perforation and peritonitis.

Efficiency of bee product

Propolis is obtained as a result of the vital activity of bees. They collect pollen from plants, their oils, then an enzyme acts on them in the bee’s body.

Insects use propolis as glue in the construction of honeycombs, depositing it on frames, canvases, etc. By itself, it has a sticky consistency, but dries out over time.

With the help of this “ingredient” a special microclimate is created in the hive, due to the presence of essential oils in it. Therefore, bees are not afraid of bacteria and infection. The composition of propolis is influenced by the location where the hives were located, or more precisely, the proximity to the place where honey is collected from useful plants, the pollen of which is used for propolis. Beekeepers use a chisel to collect “glue” from hives; they simply scrape it off. The bee “ingredient” is usually “removed” from the hive with honey, since most of it is on the frame.

To use the above-mentioned bee product for “healing” purposes, it must be heated.

Propolis becomes similar to plasticine in consistency, but does not lose its usefulness. This bee “nectar” contains a large number of microelements that can help get rid of various ailments.

Due to the wide range of beneficial substances in the product described above, it is used for Helicobacter pylori.

Treatment of Helicobacter pylori with propolis is an effective method, despite the fact that this bacterium is resistant even to some antibiotics. This is because honey/propolis contains elements that are active in the fight against harmful gastric bacteria.

Propolis is a “storage” of vitamins (all groups), flavonoids, microelements, amino acids, organic substances (15 classes), biologically active components (more than 200).

All elements of the bee product are well balanced and have a healing effect on the body. These elements rarely end up in the body, and when they get there with propolis, they have a great effect on the pancreas, heart and other organs.

Bee glue:

1. Eliminates inflammation.
2. Has a bactericidal and antiseptic effect.
3. Destroys infections, microorganisms (harmful).

• candidiasis;
• hepatitis;
• tuberculosis;
• Helicobacter and other ailments;
• relieve swelling (of mucous membranes);
• reduces pain or completely eliminates it;
• effective in combating fungus;
• helps normalize metabolism;
• increases immunity;
• stimulates the active functioning of organs (thanks to the microelements in the composition);
• strengthens the gastrointestinal tract, improves its protective mechanism;
• normalizes metabolism and saturates cells with oxygen;
• reduces the development of cancer cells;
• prevents the proliferation of viruses.

Bee “glue” does not have a negative effect on the microflora; it is neither toxic nor harmful to the digestive system.

Propolis is a folk remedy for getting rid of many ailments; it is not only used for treatment, but is also recognized by medicine.

It is used to make many medicines, there are:

Traditional medicine has a large number of recipes with bee products (honey, propolis), which are used to get rid of Helicobacter. Not everyone knows yet that propolis is a very useful ingredient.

Bee “glue” in combination with honey perfectly treats many symptoms of ailments associated with the gastrointestinal tract, which are caused by Helicobacter. According to statistics, this unfortunate bacterium is present in the body of 80% of people.

To combat it, antibiotics are used, as well as medications that include propolis. Bee “glue” began to be used against gastrointestinal diseases 2 centuries ago - in the 19th century. In those years, the effectiveness of treatment was tested during the use of medicines with bee “glue” (home-made).

Bulgarian propolis

Bulgarian scientists have discovered the effectiveness of domestic propolis in getting rid of Helicobacter. Local material was studied, but it was concluded that the qualities are universal. This is not such an obvious fact, because not every honey is effective against Helicobacter. This fact was proven by Australian scientists using the example of the manuka tree. The analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulating effects of propolis have been known for a long time. In Bulgaria, a 30 percent alcohol solution was studied, which showed effectiveness against 26 types of Helicobacter.

At the same time, the substance is active against Campylobacter. How can one remember here that the professors did not give a name to the microbe. And they assigned it to the genus Campylobacter. This misconception prevailed for some time. It turned out that the appearance of the bacteria and some of their functional properties are similar. The microbe was planted in a five percent sheep blood agora. Cultivation took place at a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius for two to three days.

The effect of a 30% propolis solution exceeds that of ethanol. Simply put, bee product is more effective than medical alcohol. However, practice shows the chance of using water as a basis. And Helicobacter treatment with alcohol is not required. Propolis is much less harmful than antibiotics.

How to get rid of Helicobacter using a bee product

• You can prepare a special tincture using alcohol (or vodka). You will need 15-20 g. propolis (fine, grated). These 20 gr. pour alcohol (70%), close the container with a lid (tightly) and put it in a warm, dark place for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks of waiting, take this way: 10-12 drops of infusion per glass of water (warm), drink 15 minutes before. before meals. This medicine will get rid of the hated bacteria in 4 weeks. You need to drink 100 ml of this remedy every day, divided into several doses (4-5).
• An oil “composition” with propolis is often prepared. To prepare, you need to put 100 grams in a container. butter (butter), add bee “glue” (15-20 g) + boiling water (less than 10 ml). Close the container with a lid and place in a water bath for 15 minutes. (you need to warm up the mixture), stir occasionally. Pour the resulting solution into a glass container (sterile) and strain through gauze; no residue is needed. Cover the container with a lid and refrigerate and store there. The structure of this medicine is viscous, brown, and the smell is pleasant. Take this way: before meals, 1 tsp. (2 rubles per day) until the tincture runs out.
• People's recipes for Helicobacter also include honey and plant (medicinal) juice. For this recipe you need flower honey - 150 g. + 30 ml of Kalanchoe juice + 15 ml of propolis infusion (10%). Mix everything, boil in a water bath for half an hour, stirring constantly. When the mixture thickens, remove it from the heat and leave to cool. Take: an hour before meals (one tablespoon). - 2 months.
• You can also prepare an emulsion with aloe. You need to cut off the petals, wrap them in opaque paper and refrigerate for a week. Next, finely chop the petals and squeeze out the juice. We do not filter the pulp, add honey and Kalanchoe and the product is ready.

To treat Helicobacter, many recipes with propolis are used, but the leader among them is tincture. Alcohol medicine contains many useful compounds. This method is accepted by medicine. It is not possible to treat with propolis in its original form, since it cannot be dosed.

A huge amount of research has been carried out, where the effectiveness of bee “glue” in the fight against Helicobacter has been proven. All reviews are positive, and the doctors themselves noted good dynamics in the condition of the stomach and noted favorable changes in the patients’ bodies.

Treatment of the disease in acute stages does not need to be done only with propolis; it should be used only as an additional remedy.

Bee “glue” is an excellent method of prevention and combating relapses. Antibiotics have an effect on other organs of the body when treating the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to restore the flora, and when taking propolis, the same complex effect is achieved, but without consequences for humans. You can make propolis tincture yourself according to the recipes given above, or you can buy it at a pharmacy or order it online.

If we talk about treating small patients with tinctures, then this should not be done, since they contain alcohol. You can ask your child to chew the bee product if he agrees. Diagnosed Helicobacter is treated for a long time. After taking the tincture, appetite improves; with timely diagnosis of the disease and quality treatment, negative consequences (ulcers, gastritis) can be avoided.

Contraindications are minimal, their natural origin speaks to the quality of the folk remedy, but they still exist:

1. Pregnant and lactating women are not recommended to use the infusion.
2. Constipation, stones or allergies cannot be treated with infusion.
3. It is necessary to take into account the individual intolerance of the body.

Before using propolis or medications containing it, you should consult your doctor.

One small bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, can destroy the entire digestive system. In some countries, the infection rate of people is more than 90%. But this is not the most important thing. The fact is that 90% of infected people do not even know that they are at risk. It’s just that at some point Helicobacter pylori begins to actively multiply and, getting into the stomach and intestines, causes big problems.

Erosive processes and ulcers are associated with it. The primacy belongs to the stomach. But damage to the duodenum is not in last place. In addition, she is responsible for the appearance of gastritis. A gram-negative bacterium, such as Helicobacter pylori, causes duodenitis. If you do not fight against it, these diseases may well provoke the onset of malignant processes in the body, even cancer.

Traditional medicine has a huge number of bactericidal agents in its arsenal. But one of the most powerful, whose properties are recognized by traditional medicine, and, moreover, are actively used, is propolis.

Propolis-based recipes

For the treatment and prevention of Helicobacter, alcohol tincture, oil extract or dry propolis are most often used. In some cases, the use of an aqueous extract is allowed (children, people with contraindications to alcohol), but its concentration is weaker, and such a product is less effective.

Before preparing any product, propolis is cleaned. To do this, place it in the freezer for 30-40 minutes, crush it and fill it with water. Shake the liquid several times. Everything that remains on the surface after half an hour is removed, and the part that sinks to the bottom is used to prepare the product.

Alcohol tincture

There are many ways to prepare the alcoholic tincture of uza. The simplest one looks like this:

1. Grind 10 grams of glue, pour into a dark glass container, pour 100 ml of alcohol.
2. Place the container in a cabinet and shake the contents periodically.
3. After two weeks, the solution is ready for use.

Water infusion

Prepare the aqueous extract as follows:

1. Uzu is poured with clean boiled water in a mass ratio of 1:5. The container with the contents is placed in a water bath.
2. Simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.

After cooling, the product is ready for use.

Oil extract

Reviews from people suffering from diseases caused by Helicobacter pylori allow us to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of using bonds with oil. Prepare the product as follows:

1. Combine 200 g of butter, 40 g of glue and 20 ml of boiling water in a jar of suitable volume.
2. Simmer in a water bath for 20 minutes, then cool and place in the refrigerator.

Herbal decoction

A decoction of medicinal herbs with bee glue is prepared as follows:

1. Mix equal parts of mint leaves, licorice root, fennel fruit and linden blossom.
2. Pour a tablespoon of the resulting mixture into 1 liter of boiling water and place in a water bath for half an hour. Remove from heat and leave for 40-50 minutes.
3. Strain the broth, add 3 tbsp. l. honey and propolis, mix thoroughly.

The product is useful for all organs of the gastrointestinal tract.

Propolis milk

Put 1 liter of milk on the fire, add 50 g of crushed bond to it. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Beneficial features

Propolis is one of the few natural complexes that has a naturally balanced and beneficial composition for humans. Resins, essential oils, wax, alcohols, supplemented with vitamins and minerals, determine its versatility, characteristic of all beekeeping products.

It is used by bees as an antiseptic and disinfectant. Its ability to prevent decomposition processes and preserve rotting products is indispensable for external use and is used in the treatment of internal diseases. External and local use of propolis is in use in modern pharmaceuticals, dentistry, and cosmetology.

Gastroenterology recognizes the bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect of propolis, including on Helicobacter pylori, but allows its use only as a dietary supplement against the background of the main treatment along with antibiotics against the causative agent of problems.

Traditional healers use propolis as the basis for all remedies and regimens used for gastrointestinal problems associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. This is explained not only by its pronounced antibacterial effect, but also by:

• anesthetic;
• anti-inflammatory;
• immunomodulatory;
• general strengthening;
• potentiating;
• healing and regenerating.

Propolis supports the body and helps restore the natural balance of microflora. It is believed that its use has a probiotic effect on the environment of the intestines and oral cavity, this helps to avoid the consequences of dysbiosis, which often accompanies Helicobacter pylori therapy.

Effect of propolis on bacteria

In addition to antibiotics, propolis, recognized by traditional medicine, has an effective effect on bacteria. Thanks to its balanced composition, it has antibacterial, antiseptic, disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, preservative and regenerating properties, inhibits the processes of rotting and decomposition, cleanses of toxins, restores intestinal microflora, and strengthens the immune system.

Composition of propolis.

Reviews from people who have taken uza confirm that the bee product destroys Helicobacter pylori, relieves unpleasant symptoms, improves digestion, accelerates the regeneration of damaged areas, and helps cure gastrointestinal diseases. The improvement is noticeable within the first week.

Propolis has several advantages over medications:

• is a natural antibiotic;
• has no side effects;
• has almost no contraindications;
• does not disturb the intestinal microflora.

Preventive measures

Helicobacter is transmitted through household means, so in order to avoid infection, you must wash your hands thoroughly after visiting the toilet, coming from outside, and before eating. Before consumption, fruits and vegetables are washed well, then doused with boiled water. Meat products and eggs must be cooked and not eaten half-baked. Helicobacter do not live in the open air and die immediately. Upon contact with a sick person, it can be transmitted through saliva and mucus. The risk group includes relatives of the patient living with him.

If a person gets sick, a bacteria is found in him, and after some time he is cured, he needs to follow a diet and preventive measures so that the disease does not relapse. To do this, it is recommended to take rosehip syrup for a month after recovery. Dose: 1 teaspoon per day.

It is imperative to treat carious teeth and remove plaque; the bacteria appears first in the oral cavity, then penetrates the stomach.

For prevention purposes, it is necessary to monitor your health and maintain your immunity, since in a weakened state microorganisms multiply. Fresh air and exercise, a contrast hardening shower, and airing the apartment are an excellent way to fight Helicobacter. In the spring and autumn, it is recommended to take a complex of vitamins and minerals, eat healthy vegetables, fruits, and dairy products. In general, lead a correct lifestyle, and then the bacteria will bypass the body.

Scientists are working to create a vaccine that would protect people from dangerous bacteria transmitted through household contact.

Allergy

All beekeeping products can cause serious consequences as a result of use - swelling, hyperemia, itching and burning. Congenital allergies occur in no more than 3% of cases, but modern ecology provokes the occurrence of acquired ones. Residents of industrial zones are especially susceptible to this problem. Therefore, before using apitherapy products, it is necessary to conduct a test.

At home, to do this, you need to apply a little propolis-based preparation to the skin of the wrist or elbow and wait: if no reaction appears after a couple of hours, you can begin treatment.

Propolis from Helicobacter

What tincture% should I take for Helicobacter?

To treat Helicobacter in the stomach, it is best to take a 15-20% alcohol tincture of propolis and consume 4-6 drops per tablespoon of water, 2 times a day.

In many cases, Helicobacter therapy is supplemented with aqueous propolis.

If therapy with water and alcohol propolis is combined, it is best to reduce the dosage of alcohol propolis by 30%.

Or do a separate course of water propolis.

In conservative therapy

For peptic ulcers due to Helicobacter infection, they tend to use antibiotic regimens. But treatment can be carried out without them in the following cases:

• allergies to antibiotics;
• patient refusal to take antibacterial drugs;
• ineffectiveness of previously administered therapy.

When Helicobacter, the use of Propolis is indicated in one of the options for eradicating the bacteria in the first line:

• Omez or Rabiet - standard dosages 20/40 mg once a day;
• 30% aqueous solution of propolis - twice a day on an empty stomach, 100 ml per dose;
• Course duration is two weeks.

What dosage of a proton pump inhibitor to choose should be determined by the attending physician - it depends on the results of gastroscopy.

Preparation of an aqueous solution

Propolis from Helicobacter pylori is used in medicine in the form of an aqueous solution with a concentration of 30 percent.

To prepare such a solution you need:

• 30 g purified propolis;
• 100 ml of clean water;
• dark container with a tight lid;
• thermos.

It is convenient to prepare the solution in a multicooker or other device where you can set one temperature setting for a long time.

Water is boiled - only once, you cannot use twice boiled water - then cooled. Propolis is ground into powder and added to water. The solution is kept at a constant temperature of 55 o C for 8 hours, stirring regularly.

Afterwards, the solution is placed in a thermos and left for two days, shaking occasionally. If you don’t have a thermos, you can pour it into a glass bottle and wrap it in a towel.

Afterwards, the propolis solution is purified by passing through a folded gauze filter. The solution prepared according to this recipe can be stored for a month.

If you encounter any difficulties in preparing a propolis solution, you can ask your doctor for a prescription for pharmaceutical preparation in order to buy a ready-made drug for the treatment of Helicobacter.

Domestic researchers

Today, Helicobacter has finally attracted public attention. It was believed that this bacterium was not attractive in any way, but upon careful study, the luminaries of science were surprised. The culture quickly develops resistance, including resistance to several antibiotics at once. Which makes treatment with artificial drugs expensive and ineffective. Meanwhile, 70% of the planet's inhabitants are sick and are carriers. It is clear that you cannot concoct drugs for such a mass of people at a factory - it is too expensive.

Helicobacter pylori bacterium

At the same time, propolis tincture against Helicobacter pylori is an effective and relatively cheap remedy available to everyone. This explains the fact that the Moscow Central Research Institute of Gastroenterology is interested in her. Side effects of antibiotics and allergic reactions prompt minds to new searches. In studies, the solution was prepared by adding the powder to distilled water. After 1 hour in a water bath, a homogeneous mixture was formed. Paper filters were used to exclude insoluble components. The final concentration of the active substance was determined by evaporation.

On average, this figure ranged from 1.7 to 2.1%. 3 experimental strains, selected from those with the declared DNA sequence, were grown on nutrient media. One was taken from a person with gastritis, the others were laboratory tests. How culture media were used:

• five percent yeast extract,
• 10% fetal bovine serum,
• Columbia agar.

Cultivation was carried out in minimal oxygen for two to three days. The strain was then placed on a BHI liquid medium consisting of the same components. Then came an incubation period at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius in the presence of carbon dioxide. This lasted two days.

Growing Helicobacter pylori

The parameter to be assessed is the concentration of propolis in the solution. It was gradually increased by two hundredths of a percent. When it reaches 0.1, most of the microbes die. This figure is taken as the threshold value. Propolis was added to the nutrient medium and the growth rate was assessed. There was no strain above the threshold value.

Indications for use and symptoms

Turning to folk remedies for gastrointestinal diseases is usually practiced when some kind of discomfort appears, expressed by:

• vague pain sensations;
• nausea;
• heaviness;
• bloating and flatulence;
• belching;
• heartburn;
• aversion to certain types of food.

Such symptoms are not permanent. Occasionally appearing, they immediately go away and do not seem to worsen the quality of life.

However, it is important at this stage to go to the doctor and get all the tests done. Losing the moment when Helicobacter pylori has just begun its movement through the digestive organs means getting serious complications in the future.

Before visiting a doctor, propolis will help cope with nausea, relieve heartburn and relieve pain. Taking it will also help relieve heaviness, bloating and belching. However, it is wrong to use it as the basis of therapy.

How is an infection treated?

To eliminate Helicobacter, a combination therapy method is used. Acid-reducing agents, antibiotics, and drugs that cause scarring of ulcers are prescribed.

Among the drugs used for Helicobacter eradication:

• proton pump inhibitors: Omez, Rabiet, Lansoprazole;
• antibiotics: metronidazole, clarithromycin, amoxicillin;
• antiulcer drugs: De-Nol, Vikair, Vikalin.

This is the first line of Helicobacter eradication. It is prescribed for low antibiotic resistance and good tolerability. Since antibiotics have a detrimental effect on the intestinal microflora, probiotics can be additionally prescribed.

Propolis against Helicobacter pylori is not only a folk remedy. Propolis is effectively used in one of the treatment options, as well as at the end of the main course of treatment to consolidate the therapeutic effect.

Treatment regimens

Propolis preparations are very diverse. The only thing that needs to be clarified is that the most complete extraction of its beneficial properties is possible only by extraction with oil, fat or alcohol. Recipes for these extracts are available at home and make it possible to prepare drugs in concentrations of up to 30%.

An aqueous tincture also exists, but its shelf life is very limited, the concentration of active ingredients is low - up to 5%, and their composition is much poorer than that of the same alcohol tincture or oil-fat extracts. After all, bee glue is based on resins, wax, ethers and alcohols. The remaining components are additional in nature.

In any case, propolis preparations are recommended to be used in courses of 20-30 days with a mandatory break of up to 30 days.

Standard use involves use on an empty stomach, spread out throughout the day: three times, so that at least 2 hours remain before meals, and approximately 2-3 hours have passed since the last meal.

When treating Helicobacter pylori, it is recommended to take any propolis preparation in a highly diluted form: in a glass of milk.

Propolis with milk

Chronic gastritis

For therapy, you need to take an alcohol tincture of 10-15% concentration, 10-15 drops at a time. It is advisable to combine the intake with herbal preparations and decoctions.

If the acidity is low, add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to the milk. Also, often with low acidity, recipes with aloe or Kalanchoe juices are recommended.

Normal and high acidity allows the use of honey, herbal infusions and carefully chopped nuts.

Gastroduodenitis

For complex treatment of the duodenum and stomach with traditional medicine, recipes combining oil and fat extracts and alcohol extracts are used. At the same time, it is important to supplement them with other drugs: herbal teas, tinctures, honey, crushed nuts.

The concentration of the active substance in the oil or tincture should not exceed 20%. Drink in courses, standardly spreading 3 tsp throughout the day.

Peptic ulcer

It is most difficult to fight against Helicobacter pylori if erosive processes have affected the mucous membranes. Traditional medicine in this case is purely auxiliary in nature. They help potentiate the effect of drugs in classical treatment regimens. After all, ulcers of the stomach and duodenum are treated with loading doses of antibiotics combined with astringents and protective drugs.

At this stage of infection of the digestive organs with Helicobacter pylori, the function of propolis will be immunomodulating and tonic in nature.

Reception must be limited to a small concentration of propolis in the form of a tincture: up to 10%, otherwise the load on the body will be too great.

Reception is carried out according to the general scheme: no more than 3 teaspoons per day. Following a diet during this period requires a special approach to the consistency of products. Therefore, the use of recipes with honey, nuts or lemon is prohibited.

The use of propolis to treat the consequences of infection of the digestive organs by Helicobacter pylori still requires the advice of a specialist - not only a gastroenterologist, but a practicing apitherapist. Only he will be able to make a prescription and give a recipe for the use of bee glue that is adequate to the diagnosed condition. He will provide for the possibility of combining it with other traditional medicine and draw up a scheme aimed at preventing further deterioration of the condition.

Treatment of Helicobacter pylori with Brazilian propolis

Let us explain why each region in the world conducts its own research. As mentioned above, in Australia, scientists discovered that one type of honey out of many has an effect against Helicobacter. Knowing this, the scientific world decided to characterize propolis according to the location of bee colonies. Features stand out in Brazilian, Bulgarian, and Russian. But they have one thing in common – effectiveness against Helicobacter pylori. Brazilian colleagues prepared solutions based on:

• alcohol;
• water;
• chloroform.

At the same time, a hepatoprotective function was demonstrated in the laboratory (on mice). So treatment of Helicobacter pylori with propolis tincture is suitable for those who have a diseased liver and because of this, doctors insist on restrictions on taking antibiotics.
