Propolis Boosts Antibiotics Potency

Propolis, or "bee glue" found in the walls of beehives, is the sticky resin collected by worker bees from the oozing buds or barks of some trees and applied immediately to patch up cracks inside the hive to keep out the wind and rain, to reduce too large an entranceway, and to strengthen the combs at their juncture with the walls of the hive.

Recently, Australian researchers discovered that using propolis along with antibiotics boosts up the potency of the latter in combating infections.
