Abstract:

Propolis, which is produced by honey bees from plant exudates, has long been used in traditional herbal medicine and is widely consumed as an immune system enhancer. The COVID-19 pandemic has renewed interest in propolis products worldwide; fortunately, various aspects of the SARSCoV- 2 infection mechanism are potential targets for propolis components. In pre-clinical studies, propolis promoted immunoregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including reduction in IL- 6, IL-1 beta and TNF-α propolis has also shown promise as an aid in the treatment of several of the comorbidities that are particularly dangerous in COVID-19 patients, including respiratory diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. In this mini review, we summarize the potential role of COVID-19 treatment and prevention.
