Propolis is one of nature's antiseptics, used by bees to reduce the growth of bacteria, viruses and moulds inside the hive. Propolis preparations have been shown to be effective in reducing healing time and intensity of pain in cold sores. It can also relieve symptoms even when applied after the tingle stage. A.Vogel Bio-propolis Lip Care Ointment can be used as a soothing lip balm and protective barrier for your lips.
Cold sores and genital herpes
Ointments that contain 3 percent propolis help speed healing time and reduce symptoms in both cold sores and sores from genital herpes. One study found when topical propolis was applied three times a day, it helped to heal cold sores faster than no treatment. The researchers found the propolis cream not only reduced the amount of herpes virus present in a person’s body, but also protected the body against future cold sore breakouts.
