Bee Pollen for Seasonal Allergies & Menopause

For those who wish to know more about the beautiful bees from Islamic perspective, there is an entire chapter in the Qur'an, chapter 16 Surah An-Nahal, only 128 verses.


Bee pollen is a ball of pollen made by young bees when they land on a flower. It’s a mixture of pollen, saliva, and nectar or honey. Bees carry these balls back to the hive in sacs on their legs and store them in the hive’s honeycomb. The pollen then ferments into “bee bread,” which feeds a bee colony.


Relieve inflammation: Bee pollen may work similarly to anti-inflammatory drugs, according to researchers. In one study on rats, scientists found that bee pollen extract reduced inflammation in rats with swollen paws. Research on mice showed bee pollen had anti-inflammatory effects when used to treat their liver disease.


Anti-oxidant rich: researchers have found that bee pollen has very high antioxidant properties similar to those of fermented foods. Antioxidants are naturally occurring chemicals that exist in plant-based foods, usually those that are red or dark in colour, as well as fermented foods.


Boost liver health: bee pollen helps keep the liver healthy and can even help the healing process after liver damage. Spring time is the Liver season. 


Boost immune system: One study found that bee pollen naturally inhibits allergic reactions in mice. Another study suggests that bee pollen has antimicrobial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties. These properties could help kill off bacteria and viruses, such as staphylococcus aureus, which causes food poisoning.


Menopause: Many women who take anti-hormonal medications often experience symptoms of menopause. One study found that some women with breast cancer who took a bee pollen supplement experienced fewer, less intense menopause symptoms than those who didn’t.


Relieve stress: Bee pollen can increase blood flow to the body’s nervous system, helping reduce stress. It’s also effective for tiredness, according to a review of bee pollen. Stress is related to the Liver.
