beeswax

use

It has a wide range of application prospects in many fields such as medical care, cancer prevention and treatment, drug blockers, fruit and vegetable preservation, and feed additives.

1. Medical care Beeswax is mainly used in apitherapy and other folk traditional usage in the field of medical care. Apitherapy can effectively thermally stimulate the diseased parts, accelerate the blood circulation in the diseased parts, improve the permeability of cells, and activate the regeneration function of skin cells. It is generally used for the early treatment of edema, bruises, and scalds. In addition, apitherapy can also be used to prepare trauma pills in combination with other traditional Chinese medicines.

, Cancer prevention and treatment Beeswax can be combined with other synthetic drugs as medicine. It has the functions of improving immunity, mobilizing the body's self-healing potential, and activating the functions of related organs. Studies have shown that cancer patients can use different ratios of bee products (obtained by adjusting royal jelly, queen larvae, honeycomb, and spleen) to achieve therapeutic and preventive effects.

3. Studies of drug blockers show that: the use of commonly used clinical medical beeswax and porous hydroxyapatite artificial bone to form a composite drug sustained-release framework, through the biodegradation of beeswax and the pore size and porosity of the porous hydroxyapatite artificial bone, Together to achieve the slow release of the drug. The ibuprofen drug experiment proved that the structure is beneficial to the sustained release of the drug.

4. Fruit and vegetable preservation Fruit and vegetable preservation usually uses food-grade polyethylene cling film, but excessive use will cause white garbage, which will pollute the soil and domestic water. Studies have shown that by applying beeswax as a smear agent to the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables to control the respiratory intensity of fruits and vegetables, prevent the loss of moisture of fruits and vegetables, thereby extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.

5. Feed additives Zhou et al. conducted a comparative experiment by adding beeswax to meat duck rations and found that the average weight gain of the test group with the beeswax additive was better than that of the control group. They believe that beeswax has the effect of inhibiting and killing microorganisms, thus effectively reducing the consumption of nutrients and saving various nutrients. At the same time, beeswax has immunogenicity and mitogenic effects, which can stimulate the body to produce antibodies and effectively reduce breeding losses.

6. Beeswax in other industries can also be used as additives for cosmetic products such as bath liquid, lipstick, rouge and various types of candles with beeswax as the main raw material.
