Propolis has been indicated for flu and cold symptoms, skin disorders (wounds, burns, and acne), psoriasis, otorhinolaryngologic, gynecologic, and proctologic diseases, preventing caries and treating gingivitis or stomatitis. Propolis has also been studied in diabetes, asthma, HIV, and others.It is used for chronic inflammation and to treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens. In general, propolis is safe and may be also consumed by healthy individuals or patients, without affecting the effect of medications. But the standardization of propolis and its use in apitherapy are still under discussion. Although the knowledge of propolis properties had been advanced, it is imperative to standardize its use, communicating the results at scientific and alternative events to strengthen the exchange of information.","twitter:creator":"@apimondia","twitter:image":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/apimondia-logo-small-1.webp"},"aioseo_meta_data":{"post_id":"2832","title":null,"description":null,"keywords":null,"keyphrases":{"focus":{"keyphrase":"","score":0,"analysis":{"keyphraseInTitle":{"score":0,"maxScore":9,"error":1}}},"additional":[]},"primary_term":null,"canonical_url":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"og_object_type":"default","og_image_type":"featured","og_image_url":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/propolis-by-matteo-giusti.jpg","og_image_width":"1200","og_image_height":"627","og_image_custom_url":null,"og_image_custom_fields":null,"og_video":"","og_custom_url":null,"og_article_section":null,"og_article_tags":null,"twitter_use_og":false,"twitter_card":"default","twitter_image_type":"default","twitter_image_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_fields":null,"twitter_title":null,"twitter_description":null,"schema":{"blockGraphs":[],"customGraphs":[],"default":{"data":{"Article":[],"Course":[],"Dataset":[],"FAQPage":[],"Movie":[],"Person":[],"Product":[],"ProductReview":[],"Car":[],"Recipe":[],"Service":[],"SoftwareApplication":[],"WebPage":[]},"graphName":"BlogPosting","isEnabled":true},"graphs":[]},"schema_type":"default","schema_type_options":null,"pillar_content":false,"robots_default":true,"robots_noindex":false,"robots_noarchive":false,"robots_nosnippet":false,"robots_nofollow":false,"robots_noimageindex":false,"robots_noodp":false,"robots_notranslate":false,"robots_max_snippet":"-1","robots_max_videopreview":"-1","robots_max_imagepreview":"large","priority":null,"frequency":"default","local_seo":null,"breadcrumb_settings":null,"limit_modified_date":false,"ai":{"faqs":[],"keyPoints":[],"titles":[],"descriptions":[],"socialPosts":{"email":[],"linkedin":[],"twitter":[],"facebook":[],"instagram":[]}},"created":"2026-03-12 21:55:57","updated":"2026-03-12 22:29:54","seo_analyzer_scan_date":null},"aioseo_breadcrumb":"<div class=\"aioseo-breadcrumbs\"><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\" title=\"Home\">Home<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">&raquo;<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/category\/uncategorized\/\" title=\"Highlights\">Highlights<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">&raquo;<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\tPropolis: Research, Uses, and Future Challenges for Apitherapy\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>","aioseo_breadcrumb_json":[{"label":"Home","link":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt"},{"label":"Highlights","link":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/category\/uncategorized\/"},{"label":"Propolis: Research, Uses, and Future Challenges for Apitherapy","link":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/propolis-research-uses-and-future-challenges-for-apitherapy\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2832"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2834,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2832\/revisions\/2834"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apimondia.org\/prt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
