Wax is an organic compound that contains about three hundred different components. Some may be good for your health. Wax is very rich, for example, with vitamin A and various mineral salts. Despite the fact that modern science has reached significant heights in molecular biochemistry, artificial analogues to this product have not yet been created.
The benefits of beeswax are primarily in its anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antibacterial and whitening properties. It can be used for a variety of diseases: colds, skin, digestive organs, etc. Very often, this product of the vital activity of bees is used as a basis in the manufacture of various kinds of therapeutic ointments and cosmetic creams.
The use of beeswax for bronchitis and rhinitis
In such diseases, wax is used in the form of heating pads. First of all, it should be melted. Next, you need to fill it in a flat mold, laid with oilcloth, and wait until it thickens.
As soon as the resulting plate cools down a bit, it is removed from the mold and placed on the chest or nose. To prolong the warming process, the compress is covered with a towel or a piece of thick cloth on top. If there is no suitable mold, you can simply heat the wax and apply it evenly on parchment paper.
The use of beeswax to get rid of wrinkles
It is believed that beeswax can prevent the appearance of wrinkles on the skin, as well as get rid of existing ones. In this case, a special mask is used, which, if desired, can be done at home. For preparation, 30 g of honey, white lily juice , onion juice and wax are put in an enameled saucepan. Dishes with components put on a slow fire. Warm the mixture until the wax melts.
The resulting mask must be continuously stirred until it cools completely. To get rid of wrinkles, the composition is applied to the cleansed skin of the neck and face in the morning and evening for half an hour.
The use of beeswax for teeth whitening
In order to whiten your teeth, you just need to chew the wax from time to time. This, among other things, will contribute to the healing of wounds on the gums, as well as strengthen them. Zambrus is especially useful in this case. This is the name for a special type of wax that bees use as caps for honeycombs. Its composition is slightly different from usual. In order to prevent any insect from catching fire on honey, bees add a little of their poison to these plates.
The use of beeswax of this type as a "chewing gum" can also contribute to recovery from tonsillitis and sinusitis. Of course, you do not need to swallow wax. Chew it for about ten minutes, and then spit it out. However, if you accidentally eat a small piece, you should not worry about this. Wax will not cause any harm to the body. Quite the contrary. This product can contribute to the normalization of the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
Beeswax, the use of which in home medicine has been known since time immemorial, is an extremely useful product. When used as a cosmetic or therapeutic agent, there are absolutely no side effects, and the result is usually simply amazing.
