Severe cases are usually treated with a shot made with diluted pollen. Pollen has also been used in cases of chronic prostatitis because it is high in zinc, which is a key ingredient in the function of the prostate gland. It has been found to reduce inflammation and pain. There also have been reports that carotenes in pollen help treat cancer. 7 Royal jelly is a white, opaque liquid made by worker bees.
Workers feed it to certain larvae that have been chosen to be queens.
The difference between royal jelly and regular brood food is that royal jelly has a larger content of honey and pollen. People use royal jelly for treating rashes such as black head rash, herpes and dermatitis. It can also be used for pulmonary diseases like bronchitis and asthma. 8 Scientists today hope that maybe sometime in the near future bee products will be used to cure cancers, chronic inflammations and many more diseases. Most people may think of bees as evil little insects that go around trying to sting or bite them, but they're just another creature trying to survive.
