Wax is an organic compound that contains about three hundred different components. Some of them may be beneficial to he alth. Wax is very rich, for example, in vitamin A and various mineral s alts. Despite the fact that modern science has reached significant heights in molecular biochemistry, no artificial analogues of this product have yet been created.
The benefits of beeswax are primarily in its anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antibacterial and whitening properties. You can use it for a variety of diseases: colds, skin, digestive system organs, etc. Very often, this product of the vital activity of bees is used as a basis for the manufacture of various kinds of medicinal ointments and cosmetic creams.
Using beeswax for bronchitis and rhinitis
In such diseases, wax is used in the form of warming overlays. First of all, it should be melted. Next, you need to pour it into a flat mold lined 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 top of the compress is covered with a towel or a piece of thick cloth. If there is no suitable mold, the wax can simply be warmed up and spread evenly on parchment paper.
Using beeswax to get rid of wrinkles
It is believed that with the help of beeswax, wrinkles can be prevented from appearing on the skin, as well as getting rid of existing ones. In this case, a special mask is used, which, if desired, can be made at home. For cooking, put 30 g of honey, white lily juice, onion juice and wax in an enamel saucepan. The dishes with the components are put on a slow fire. Heat the mixture until the wax melts.
The resulting mask must be continuously stirred until completely cooled. To get rid of wrinkles, the composition is applied to cleansed skin of the neck and face in the morning and evening for half an hour.
Using beeswax to whiten teeth
In order to whiten your teeth, you just need to chew 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 of a special type of wax that bees use as honeycomb lids. Its composition is slightly different from the usual. In order to prevent any insect from coveting honey, bees add to theserecords a little of their poison.
The use of this type of beeswax as a "chewing gum" can also contribute to recovery from tonsillitis and sinusitis. Swallowing wax, of course, is not necessary. 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. Even vice versa. This product may help to normalize 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 medicinal product, there are absolutely no side effects, and the result is usually simply amazing.
