I-Propolis yiyona ingxenye yesithathu ebaluleke kakhulu emikhiqizweni yezinyosi futhi iqukethe i-resin (50%), i-wax (30%), amafutha abalulekile (10%), impova (5%) nezinye izinhlanganisela eziphilayo (5%). Iqukethe namavithamini abalulekile, njengevithamini B1, B2, B6, C, no-E kanye namaminerali afana ne-magnesium (Mg), i-calcium (Ca), i-potassium (K), i-sodium (Na), ithusi (Cu), i-zinc (Zn), i-manganese (Mn), ne-iron (i-Fe).
Amakhemikhali angaba ngu-300 abonakala ku-propolis, iningi elisehlobo lwe-polyphenols (antioxidants). Ama-Antioxidants asiza ukulwa nezifo futhi avikele ukulwa nokutheleleka emzimbeni.
Isebenzani iPropolis?
Ngokugcobisa ngaphakathi kwendlunyezinyosi nge propolis, izinyosi zigcina isidleke saso sivikelwe ekusakazeni kwamagciwane kanye nesibungulu. Ngakho-ke, i-propolis inciphisa futhi ikhubekise isidleke futhi iphakathi kwezinto ezinamandla kakhulu zokulwa namagciwane ezitholakala emvelweni.Izinyosi zoju nazo zisebenzisa i-propolis ukuqinisa ukusebenza komzimba futhi ziyisebenzise ukuqondisa ngaphakathi kwamaseli omzimba ngaphambi kokuba indlovukazi ibeke amaqanda ayo. Ziphinde zisebenzise i-propolis njengento yokwakha yokuvimbela noma yokunciphisa ukungena emcimbini, okwenze kube lula ukuvikela.
I-propolis nayo isetshenziselwa ukugcoba izidumbu ezifile noma izinambuzane, ngaleyo ndlela zivimbele ekutheleleni umuthi. Ngokufanayo, i-propolis yayisetshenziswa abaseGibhithe lasendulo ukuba bagcobe imithi.
I-propolis isetshenziselwa abantu ngezindawo zayo zokulwa namagciwane kanye nokuqinisa amasosha omzimba. Ingasetshenziswa njengesikhilimu sesikhumba se-eczema ne-psoriasis, noma isetshenziswe kusepha kanye nezimonyo. Kungabuye kudliwe ngendlela yobusi ophuthunyiswe yi-propolis futhi kuthathwe njengamaphilisi noma njengokwakheka kwamanzi. I-Propolis ingathengwa kuma-pharmacy, izitolo zokudla ezempilo noma ngokuqondile kubanikazi bezinyosi.
Ukukhiqizwa Kwepropolis eNingizimu Afrika
Njengamanje, i-propolis ikhiqizwa futhi ithengiswa eNingizimu Afrika kodwa ngezinga eliphansi. UMike Allsopp, umcwaningi oyinhloko e-Honeybee Research Section of the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) eStellenbosch uyachaza: 'Kuye kwaba nemizamo eminingi yokuthengisa ukukhiqizwa kwepropolis eNingizimu Afrika - okungenani inselelo eyodwa ye-MSc yenziwa ukuphenya ngalokhu - kodwa eNingizimu I-Afrika ayizange ikwazi ukukhiqiza amanani amaningi adingekayo ezimakethe zomhlaba wonke. I-propolis yaseNingizimu Afrika ingumgangatho omuhle kakhulu futhi ifunwa kakhulu, kepha abathengisi bamazwe ngamazwe badinga inani elikhulu le-propolis kunokuba abafuyi bezinyosi baseNingizimu Afrika bakwazi ukuletha. Noma kunjalo, lokhu kuyinsimu engathuthukiswa eNingizimu Afrika.Umlimi wezinyosi angakwazi ukukhiqiza i-kilogram eyodwa ngonyaka, kodwa lokho kuza ngezindleko zezinyosi zakhe. Yonke ukukhiqizwa kwe-propolis kuyindleko ngokukhiqizwa koju. Ukukhiqizwa kwepropolis akuyona inzuzo eyengeziwe, kungenxa yokukhiqizwa kwezinyosi zezinyosi ezisebenzela ukukhiqiza i-propolis ayikhiqizi uju.
I-propolis yaseNingizimu Afrika ayinakushiswa, kodwa ukuthengiswa kwepropolis (okumele kusetshenziswe ku-creams kanye nezitho zangasese) kuzobe kukhishwa amandla.
Ukuenqabela Kwezokwelapha
Ngicela uqaphele: Ukwaziswa kungenxa yezemfundo nolwazi kuphela futhi angeke kuthathwe njengeseluleko sezokwelapha. Ulwazi aluhloselwe ukufaka iseluleko sezokwelapha noma ukwelashwa okunikezwa ochwepheshe bezempilo.Translated by Nsika Khoza
