| | Propolis |
 | | In the past, propolis has been taken by mouth to fight bacterial infection including tuberculosis, fungal infection such as candidiasis, parasitic infections such as malaria, and viral infections such as colds. |
 | | However, propolis is not as effective as prescription anti-infective medications, although some individuals consider it to be safer and healthier. |
 | | In a recent study of individuals with second-degree burns, a propolis cream and a prescription burn cream were comparable in preventing infection, but the propolis cream promoted earlier healing and seemed to decrease inflammation more than the prescription. |
