Propolis has long been used in traditional medicine and has won attention from the scientific community following proof of its health benefits, which include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumor, and immunomodulatory properties.
Its composition varies according to origin, geographic location, and the bee species that produces it.
