For hundreds of years poor and chronic nonhealing wounds
have constituted a serious problem to medicine. What is more, treating such
wounds is an expensive let alone a long-lasting process. The following paper
describes Professor Scheller's achievements in using propolis for poor and
chronic non-healing wounds. The authors' intention was to present the results
connected with the use of the ethanolic extract propolis, in the treatment of
patients suffering from burns, venous crural ulceration, local sacral bone
pressure ulcers, suppurative osteitis and arthritis, suppurative postoperative
local wound complications, and infected traumatic wounds…
As previously mentioned and clinically confirmed, propolis
is said to have several therapeutic properties, such as antibacterial,
anti-inflammatory, healing, anesthetic, anticarcinogenic, antifungal,
antiprotozoan, and antiviral activities. Added to that, propolis contains
copper 26.5 mg/kg, manganese 40 mg/kg, and the ash residue contains iron,
calcium, aluminum, vanadium, strontium, and silicon, vitamins such as B1, B2,
B6, C, and E, and a number of fatty acids [18]. In addition, it also includes
some enzymes such as succinic dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, adenosine
triphosphatase and acid phosphatase…
