Instructions for using wax moths for adults and children. Wax moth: treatment with bee pests

Not always traditional ways treatments bring the desired result. Sometimes medical therapy needs to be supported by alternative or traditional healing remedies, one of which is wax moth tincture.

What it is?

Wax moth, moth, shashel, moth - all these are names for inconspicuous in appearance moth grayish with a silvery tint, which can become an indispensable medicine for many ailments. Although so useful in medicine, this moth is the worst enemy of beekeepers, who constantly put in a lot of effort to combat it.

The fact is that Bee hive - perfect place for laying wax moth eggs, the larvae of which, after birth, continue to live in the monastery of honey plants. Therefore, their main food becomes honey, bee bread, pollen, and then wax, royal jelly, propolis, and the remains of bee cocoons full of chitin. Having acquired all the biologically active components necessary for their life, at 30 days of age the larvae turn into pupae. The moths that have already emerged from them reach from 1 to 3.5 cm in length, but their body no longer requires food - the reserves accumulated in the larval stage are quite enough for them.

What is so valuable about wax moth larvae?

All medical properties wax moth - a consequence of its consumption of the above-mentioned beekeeping products, the biological reserve of which is stored in the body of the unformed butterfly, and then is included in the composition of the medicine known as tincture of wax moth larvae.

The main value of this moth is the production of cerrase in its body - a special enzyme that helps digest wax. Judging by the results of scientific research, the presence of this component in the alcoholic extract of larvae helps to dissolve the shell of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. This is because it consists mainly of fat and wax and, under the influence of cerrase, loses its protection and becomes more vulnerable to the action of antibiotics.

Experience of the Ancients

Mentions of the healing properties of this moth were found in the records of antiquity. Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Mesopotamian healers already noticed

the miraculous power possessed by the wax moth extract, and they actively used it to combat consumption, now called tuberculosis, as well as ailments associated with potency in men and infertility in women.

Japanese, Chinese and Kenyan healing masters many years ago knew about the benefits of wax moths, so they recommended that patients eat the larvae of this insect. Dishes with this seemingly exotic component were served in many restaurants at that time.

This drug received official recognition in medical and scientific circles already in the 19th century thanks to the great Russian scientist Ilya Mechnikov. Having conducted a lot of research, as well as turning to traditional methods of treatment, he scientifically presented and confirmed the long-existing theory of the healing phenomenon of wax moth extract.

Indications

Wax moth, the treatment of which has a long history, was used for the treatment and prevention of many ailments. Among them:


This is not the entire list of indications. Overall, this drug improves performance very well. immune system, mental and physical activity of a person.

Wax moth - treatment, reviews from sports doctors

An equally important aspect of the health-improving effect of moth larvae is its positive effect on the muscle mass of the body. This is mainly the result of the action of organic substances (peptides, nucleotides), which, when combined favorably with amino acids (histidine, valine), significantly reduce the recovery time of muscle tissue after heavy physical activity. Such components also contribute to the growth of the athlete’s endurance, faster muscle growth, activation of the processes of calcium absorption and hemoglobin synthesis, and bone tissue regeneration.

This drug is also indispensable in sports medicine for the speedy recovery of an athlete after an injury or surgery. In general, the complex of biologically active substances, which contains the extract of wax moth larvae, supplies the body with energy, helping to distribute it beneficially throughout the body.

Research shows that the drug is a useful alternative to harmful anabolic steroids that negatively affect the central nervous system. Therefore, it can be used not only to build muscle, but also to get out of the state that steroid use leads to.

Wax moth. Treatment of tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is the most common cause of death among adults

population, when compared with other bacterial infectious
diseases. The reason for this is the evolution of the tuberculosis bacillus, which over the many years of its existence has acquired immunity to modern antibiotics. Therefore, in many cases traditional medical treatment does not give proper results. Then they come to the rescue traditional methods and alternative medicine.

The causative agent of tuberculosis is Koch's bacillus, which has a waxy membrane. As mentioned earlier, the enzymes that wax moth tincture possesses can break it down. The treatment is more effective, since the shell of the pathogen is destroyed after using the drug and becomes more vulnerable to the action of antibiotics.

Post-tuberculosis treatment

In addition to the above capabilities, the extract stimulates the development and reproduction of healthy cells in the body, and perfectly heals tuberculosis cavities that form in the lungs when suffering from this disease.

This tincture is no less effective for fungal diseases. respiratory tract, which often occur after chemotherapy prescribed by a doctor to treat the disease.

It is known that tuberculosis can occur not only in the lungs, but also in bones, joints, lymph nodes, kidneys, skin, intestines, etc. And in these cases, wax moth tincture is successfully used. Treatment with this drug increases the effectiveness of antibiotics prescribed to the patient, but does not contribute to the occurrence of any forms of allergies, and also does not allow the infection to spread further throughout the human body.

How to prepare extract at home?

To make your own tincture, it is better to use it already completely

developed, but in no case yet pupated butterfly larvae. 5 g of wax moth must be filled with 50 g of ethyl alcohol of 70% concentration. Leave this mixture for about a week, after which you can start taking it, limiting yourself to 20 drops per day. It is better to divide this dosage into two doses, and dilute the extract with water before use.

For children, the dosage is slightly different, it all depends on age: 5 year old child you can give no more than 5 drops per day, a 6-year-old - no more than 6, etc.

Wax moth infused at home, the use of which is welcomed by all traditional healers, undoubtedly brings benefits, because it has been tested for many years. But an extract prepared according to medical standards is a little different.

Pharmacy drugs

The wax moth medicine offered to us by professional pharmacists may have varying degrees concentration. Most often it is 10, 20 or 25 percent. The essence of the process of making such a tincture is to use the method of cold extraction of moth larvae based on ethanol. The resulting liquid is infused in a place protected from light at a temperature of about 20 degrees.

This manufacturing method allows you to preserve maximum useful substances, because the low temperature processing of larvae does not allow destruction of even biological components that are not particularly stable. Moreover, preparations made in this way have a longer shelf life, during which the chemical composition of the product does not undergo changes. The same cannot be said about homemade tinctures.

General rules for taking medication

Taking a drug based on biologically active substances that wax moths are full of is a treatment that requires compliance with certain rules. Better

consume it 30 minutes before a meal or an hour after a meal - this way it will be absorbed much better. It is not difficult to determine the dosage: for every 10 kilograms of body weight, 3 drops of extract are needed. If you use the tincture for the purpose of prevention, then taking it once a day will be enough. For the treatment of certain diseases, it is better to divide the daily dosage into two times.

For children under 14 years of age, 1 drop per 12 kg of body weight will be sufficient. The tincture can be diluted with water, milk, juice, tea in large quantities(up to 30 ml).

Before swallowing the drops, try to keep them in your mouth for a while. And the effect will be even greater if you keep them under your tongue. It is advisable not to use the extract before bedtime, since it has, although small, a tonic effect.

Familiarize your body with the drug

If your body is not yet familiar with the drug, which is based on wax moth, treatment must begin according to a special scheme. The first day of taking the extract will show your body’s reaction to the components of the product. To do this, in the morning, drink ¼ of the dose that you calculated according to the above rules. If you do not feel any discomfort (burning in the throat, swelling or irritation of the mucous membranes), then everything is in order and you can continue the course of treatment or prevention. The next day, double the dose and again check yourself for symptoms of intolerance. On the third day, you are allowed to drink ¾ of the calculated volume, and only then switch to the full dose of the drug. After a few days it can be consumed twice a day.

Regimen for taking the extract for tuberculosis

Wax moth has long been considered one of the means to combat this disease. Reviews from doctors and cured patients indicate that a positive result in the treatment of this disease can be achieved only with regular use of the tincture. It must be used twice a day, starting with 15 drops. If you did not have any problems or intolerance when taking the drug for the first time, then after a few days you can slightly increase the dose to 30 drops in the morning and the same amount in the evening. After 7 days, you need to start using the drug three times a day, without changing the number of drops.

The full course of treatment consists of using 300 ml of extract, after which you need to rest for a week or two, and then, if necessary, treatment can be continued. Although positive changes are usually visible after the first course of therapy, that is, after 12-15 weeks.

Wax moth larvae ointment

Treatment of severe burns, quick healing of wounds, elimination of unwanted scars - all this is possible with the help of an ointment consisting of useful components that it contains

wax moth. Reviews from satisfied patients speak for themselves.

To prepare a miracle ointment, take 50 g of already fully formed larvae and fill them with alcohol. A lot of liquid is not required here, the main thing is that it completely covers all the larvae. Leave this mixture for at least 5 days. Then place everything in a ceramic vessel and add 200 g of St. John's wort and calendula oils, 50 g of propolis and After this, your mixture should have the consistency of an ointment. Cover it with a lid and dissolve it in a water bath for about 2 hours. Cool the finished product, rub through a sieve or gauze and place in sterilized jars. Cover everything with lids and uncork as needed.

Even some pests of bee colonies are beneficial, and one of them is the wax moth.

Bee moth (wax moth) is one of the most malicious pests that penetrate the hive. To protect themselves, they even developed a special mechanism - a smell that imitates the smell of the family. And although the bees try to fight by throwing butterflies out of the hive and sealing or eating larvae, when darkness falls, this activity stops. Little workers at night are engaged in an important process - evaporating moisture from honey. After sitting motionless for a day, the hatched butterflies remaining in the hive begin to lay eggs.

The wax moth larva during its development (about 30 days) is capable of destroying up to 600 honeycombs. This amounts to about 2 g of wax by weight. And one generation of larvae can spoil up to 20 kg of honeycomb. Moreover, everything that gets in the way is destroyed - honey, bee bread, bee larvae.

Some beekeepers don’t even realize that the biggest pest in the apiary is the source of a unique healing power. Eating honey, beebread and, most importantly, wax, the larvae saturate their body with valuable enzymes. And when processing wax, they use essential amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine), which are necessary for a person to function normally.

The tincture prepared from bee moth larvae contains 20 of the 28 free amino acids. Moreover, 9 of them are essential, i.e. they are not synthesized human body.

In addition, the three above-mentioned amino acids are a source for the synthesis of alanine, an amino acid that regulates higher nervous activity and responsible for the normalization of metabolic processes. Even in the synthesis of glucose, alanine can be used as a raw material if necessary.

Preparations based on bee moth larvae have a number of therapeutic effects when used:

  • Antimicrobial(viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi);
  • Immunostimulating and regulating metabolism;
  • Absorbable with scar formation: myocardial infarction, secondary female infertility, stomach or duodenal ulcer;
  • Normalizing in relation to the vascular system. At the same time, the risk of blood clots is reduced, blood microcirculation improves, blood pressure and hemoglobin levels return to normal;

  • Restorative nervous system, especially during rehabilitation after cerebrovascular accident;
  • Cleansing when the body is damaged by radioactive radiation and various types of toxic poisoning, including alcoholic ones;
  • Regenerating if necessary, recovery after surgical interventions, as well as recovery after serious diseases, including infectious ones;
  • Regulatory in case of disruptions in hormonal processes during pregnancy, menopause or in the treatment of impotence.

Important! The healing properties of preparations from moth larvae were known back in ancient Egypt, where the “elixir of youth” was prepared from the caterpillars, which slowed down aging. Studies by numerous scientists (I. I. Mechnikov, his students S. I. Metalnikov and I. S. Zolotarev, doctor S. A. Mukhin, professor A. A. Nikulin) have proven that the presence of the cerrase enzyme in the digestive tract of caterpillars makes it possible wax processing. It is this ingredient, turning into a medicine, that dissolves the durable shell of Koch's bacillus spores, making it available for destruction.

The medicinal effect of the tincture was used long before official recognition. These were mainly pulmonary diseases and, in particular, tuberculosis. Under the influence of the drug, the following processes are launched:

  • Enhanced growth of healthy cells, as a result of which damaged tissues are quickly replaced by new ones;
  • Promotion protective forces body and resistance to tuberculosis infection;
  • Suppression of mycobacterial resistance to medications and, as a result, increased therapeutic effect;
  • Elimination of fungal infection - the most common complication when using chemicals;
  • Effective removal of decay products of microbial activity, which is facilitated by the content of aspartic acid in the medicine.

Important! In addition, wax moth tincture is used to treat tuberculosis of the nervous system, digestive tract, joints, skin, meninges, and genitourinary organs.

There are no verified clinical trial results for the tincture, and official medicine so far only recognizes the effect on tuberculosis. However, research chemical composition and the presence in the preparation of an extensive set of valuable components suggest healing properties in relation to a number of other pathological conditions. And this is confirmed by numerous user reviews.

Today, preparations from wax moth larvae are used to treat:

  • Oncological diseases;
  • Atherosclerotic changes;
  • Varicose veins;
  • Disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system;
  • Prostatitis, impotence, infertility;
  • Normalization of blood sugar;
  • Diseases of the digestive tract: ulcers, gastritis, colitis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis;
  • Cardiac pathologies.

Important! Preparations made from larvae are compatible with almost all medications and have no toxic effects. Using them together with medications helps the body absorb chemical components much more efficiently and quickly get rid of toxins. Thus, therapeutic effect intensifies many times over.

Both bee moth larvae and their metabolic products can be used to make medicine. Preparation of the drug from larvae can be carried out in several ways:

  • Tincture. Take 5 g of larvae up to 10 days of age (size - up to 1.5 cm) and pour them into the dark glass containers 70% alcohol. Infuse for 1-1.5 weeks with daily shaking. Used for treatment after careful straining;
  • Hood. To make the product, place a glass of larvae in a liter of vodka. This mixture has been infused for 2-2.5 weeks with constant shaking and also in a dark place;
  • Ointment. Used for external treatment. To do this, 50 g of larvae are poured with alcohol so that it only slightly covers them. Place in a dark place for 5 days, then add 200 g of St. John's wort and calendula oils. 50 g of propolis and wax are added in crushed form to the resulting mixture and placed in a water bath for 2 hours. Be sure to stir during cooking. Then filter and cool.

However, it often happens that the moth scatters and there are no larvae left. In this case, you can use insect waste products, which also have therapeutic effect. According to some professionals, this remedy is even more effective (it is used for 300 diseases). Prepare the tincture as follows:

  • Crushed waste products are poured with 40% medical alcohol in a ratio of 1:20. The alcohol is diluted with artesian water;
  • Leave in a dark place for 1-2 weeks. In this case, biologically active substances are extracted from waste products into the tincture;
  • The finished tincture is filtered and poured into a dark glass container. The finished product has the smell of good whiskey without foreign impurities.

Important! The product has high biological activity, so its preparation requires especially careful adherence to dosages and hygiene rules.

Administration of preparations from wax moth larvae is carried out taking into account the weight of the adult patient or the number of completed years in childhood. Depending on the required therapeutic effect, the following dosages are used (at a concentration of 20%):

  • For prevention and strengthening the immune system: adults – 2 drops for every 10 kg of weight, children under 14 years of age – 1 drop per year of life;
  • For diseases of the heart and blood vessels: adults – 3 drops for every 10 kg of weight, children – 1 for every year;
  • For tuberculosis: adults - 4 drops for every 10 kg, children - 1 drop for every year of life;
  • For oncology: adults – 5 drops per 10 kg of weight, children – 1 drops per year;
  • For diseases of the genital area: adults – 3 drops for every 10 kg of weight;
  • For respiratory diseases: adults – 2.5 drops for every 10 kg of weight, children – 1 drop per year of life.

If a 10% tincture is used for treatment, the doses are doubled. Application requires compliance with several requirements:

  • Since the drug is a strong biostimulant, treatment should begin by taking 25% of the recommended dose, increasing the dose by another 25% every day. Thus, within 4 days the dose is equal to the recommended amount;
  • You can dilute the drops in a small amount of water (70-100 ml). If the drug is taken for prophylactic purposes, you can drink it at once; in other cases, the dose is divided in half;
  • The medicine is not recommended to be taken in the evening, as it has a tonic effect;
  • The product should not be mixed with food, so take it before meals (30 minutes before) or 1 hour after meals;
  • As with honey, the medicine should not be swallowed immediately, but should be kept in the mouth for a little while.

Important! If it is not observed during the initial reception side effects, after a few days they switch to a full two-time dose for 3 months. This is another advantage of the tincture of larvae - after all, most traditional medicines are not taken for more than 30 days without a break.

When purchasing the drug, there may be no instructions. Or you will use a homemade remedy. In this case, the most the right decision There will be a consultation with your attending physician.

How to avoid counterfeiting

Most best option– find a beekeeper you know and buy from him, if not larvae, then at least wax moth waste products (WWM). If this is not feasible, here are a few tips to help avoid commercial pitfalls:

  • To purchase online (and these drugs are not yet sold in pharmacies), choose a beekeeping farm or at least a specialized website. Then the quality guarantees will not be fake;
  • This preparation from larvae or PGVM should be packaged in dark glass containers. This is a mandatory condition, since light destroys most active substances, and plastic can react with them;
  • If there are larvae at the bottom, then this is a guarantee that this is indeed a wax moth product. By their quantity you can even determine the degree of concentration.

Like any folk remedy, wax moth tincture is not a panacea, but only a means of activation own strength body. Therefore, do not forget to consult your doctor and start taking small doses.

Tincture of wax moth larvae (moths) - video

- one of the varieties of gray moths. The larvae (caterpillars) feed on water-containing bee products. This is the only creature on earth capable of digesting and assimilating bees, which is why wax moth tincture is a unique treatment for tuberculosis.

The value of the wax moth is that its larvae produce a special enzyme "cerase", capable of digesting wax. Wax moth tincture contains this enzyme, which has the ability to dissolve the membranes of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Under the influence of this enzyme, the bacterium loses its defenses and becomes vulnerable to antibiotics.

The wax moth also consumes flowers, wax honeycombs, chitin of bee larvae and pupae, which are a source of protein for the moth. These substances, absorbed and processed by the wax moth’s body, can help get rid of extra pounds.

Like most representatives of the Butterfly order, wax moths are pest insects. In the hive it destroys honeycombs, destroys brood, bee bread, frames, walls of the hive and causes damage. But nevertheless, in folk medicine, wax moth larvae were used in the treatment of patients with tuberculosis.

By variety there are:

  • Galleria mellonela - large.
  • Achzia grizella - small

Large and small wax moths (bee moth) are inconspicuous gray moths, whose life depends on the work of the bee colony no less than the life of the bees themselves. Wax moths are common wherever there are bees, with the exception of highlands and areas with harsh climates. Adult insects never eat; they live solely off nutrients accumulated by the larvae.

In 1899 the founder of microbiology, Mechnikov, drew attention, while conducting a search for the treatment of patients with tuberculosis, to the medicinal properties wax moth larvae extract, suggesting that the waxy substances in the cell wall of the tuberculosis pathogen can be destroyed by the digestive enzymes of moth larvae.

The larvae are collected on the 20–30th day of development, because old larvae no longer digest tuberculosis bacteria, but young larvae digest well during their development, so it was recommended to prepare the extract from young larvae no larger than 1.0–1.5 cm in size.

Nowadays, apitherapists use wax moth larvae to treat patients with tuberculosis and many other diseases, specially growing them and making extracts. For storage, take glass containers, fill them with wax moth larvae, place them in refrigerators at a temperature of 6-10 degrees and store for 30 days, no more, or fill them with ethyl alcohol at 70-96 degrees.

Composition of wax moth tincture

Wax moth tincture contains: nucleotides, nucleosides and their derivatives - free amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, biologically important microelements - alkaline protease, high-molecular conjugates of aromatic compounds with amino acids and sugars.

Application of wax moth tincture

For cardiovascular diseases

Cardiovascular diseases are primarily coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction. Wax moth tincture promotes the healing of necrotic areas without the formation of scar tissue. Helps in the treatment of heart failure.

  • Prevents scarring of the myocardium;
  • Promotes resorption;
  • Increases resistance to ischemia and angina pectoris;
  • Improves the trophism of the heart muscle in the heart, or, better to say, feeds it, increases blood flow to the myocardium;
  • New young myocardial cells grow;
  • Restores heart rhythm in case of tachycardia or bradycardia;

Wax moth tincture is used from the 10th day after a heart attack.

For hypertension

Using wax moth tincture for hypertension:

  • Cleans blood vessels from cholesterol plaques, dissolves them;
  • Improves the elasticity and strength of blood vessels;
  • Facilitates the work of the heart;
  • Improves blood flow;
  • Supply the body with oxygen;
  • By the tenth day it lowers blood pressure;
  • Significantly delays the development of atherosclerosis;

Wax moth tincture for tuberculosis

The causative agent of tuberculosis, Koch's bacillus, has a waxy membrane, and the enzymes that the wax moth tincture possesses can break it down. After use, the shell of the pathogen is destroyed, it becomes vulnerable to the action of antibiotics.

Since antiquity, Greek healers noticed the power of wax moth and used it to treat consumption (tuberculosis), problems with potency in men and infertility in women.

And Chinese and Japanese healing masters knew about the benefits of wax moths and recommended eating insect larvae; they even served dishes with wax larvae in restaurants.

Wax moth tincture stimulates the development and reproduction of healthy cells in our body and heals tuberculosis cavities formed during the disease.

Tuberculosis can occur in the bones of the joints, kidneys, lymph nodes, skin, and intestines. Treatment with wax moth tincture increases the effectiveness of antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. Does not cause allergies and does not allow it to spread throughout the body. A positive result can only be achieved if the wax moth tincture is used regularly.

  • Take 2 times a day, starting with 15 drops;
  • If no problems arise after taking it, you can increase it to 30 drops after a few days;
  • Use morning and evening, and after 7 days you can take 3 times a day without changing the number of drops;
  • The course is 300 ml, after which you need to rest for a week or two and, if necessary, continue treatment;

In medicine, wax moth tincture gained recognition thanks to Mechnikov. Back in the 19th century, he outlined a theory about the use of wax moth tincture in the treatment of tuberculosis.

Wax moth extract has been used in folk healing for quite a long time. Back in the 17th century in Europe, the extract was used to treat high-ranking persons and those who had access to apiaries. However, only in the last century were the first scientific studies conducted to confirm or refute the effectiveness of this drug.

Principle of action and scientific prerequisites for the effectiveness of the extract

If we deal with the issue of the effectiveness of wax moth extract as objectively and impartially as possible, without reading made-up reviews and aggressive advertising of beekeepers-manufacturers, then the use of wax moth extract can safely be considered as the use of a placebo: serious studies confirming the effectiveness of this remedy have never been conducted.

Indeed, as sellers and manufacturers say, the wax moth extract is based on a certain enzyme called cerrase, a unique substance that can break down complex fat molecules. It is through this enzyme that the larva supposedly digests beeswax.

Considering that the molecular walls of many bacteria consist of lipopolysaccharides, partly related in chemical nature to waxes, pseudo-doctors began to actively exploit the idea that wax moth extract can kill bacteria of tuberculosis and some other diseases.

It sounds very plausible, considering that the principle of action of the product is so well described. But in reality, everything turns out to be not so smooth.

Firstly, science does not know the enzyme cerrase. This name appears only in advertising of dietary supplements and the same alcohol extract of wax moth larvae. And if chemists who carefully studied the composition of wax moth larvae did not find this substance, serious doubts arise about its existence in nature in general.

On a note

The only person who described the enzyme cerrase was a certain Mukhin, in different sources appearing either as E.O. or as S.A. He did not write a dissertation, but he spoke about the enzyme in very admiring tones. Almost the same as what sellers of dietary supplements say.

Further, from a purely fundamental point of view, almost all bacteria contain lipids as part of their membranes. Accordingly, the miraculous enzyme must indiscriminately destroy both the mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis and the beneficial microflora of the intestines and stomach.

In fact, such an enzyme is an antibiotic, because the action of a number of antibiotics is aimed specifically at breaking down the walls of bacteria. Why then does cerrase not destroy beneficial lactobacilli or E. coli, which is always present in the digestive tract? How is selectivity achieved and how is the enzyme delivered to the lungs to “cure tuberculosis”? Unclear…

“My diagnosis before using wax moth extract: thrombophlebitis, varicose veins veins in the left leg, indications for surgery. I used the extract for 2 months, two large nodes on my leg disappeared, and I stopped having pain at night.”

Vladimir, Tver

And lastly, although not the most important. It is generally accepted throughout the world that the extract is obtained after drying and grinding the raw materials, and then extracting with alcohol, oil or other substances. If the raw material is filled with alcohol without preparation, the result is a tincture.

At the same time, sellers and manufacturers of the product insist on the name “extract”, although the bottles themselves contain untouched butterfly caterpillars preserved in alcohol.

This seemingly small inaccuracy indicates that there has never been a serious patented production of wax moth extract, and it can only be bought from home-grown healers.

I have an opinion

There is no denying the possibility that miraculous properties Wax moth extracts were coined due to the fact that wax moths themselves infect hives in abundance and are a by-product of beekeeping. Instead of throwing out the hated larvae, enterprising beekeepers managed to make money from them.

However, this practice is common with honey products. There are still no serious studies on the effectiveness of bee bread or royal jelly, and these remedies are considered the property of traditional medicine. However, thousands of people are treated with them and some even praise them.

Is the “placebo” effect to blame here, or do these products really have unexplored beneficial features- it’s impossible to say for sure. Be that as it may, when using them it is useful to exercise some caution and be critical of advertising.

What does wax moth extract treat and what effect does it have on the body?

According to manufacturers, wax moth extract (the word “melonella” may sometimes be present in its name) Latin name butterflies) helps treat the following diseases:

  • tuberculosis
  • bronchial asthma
  • bronchitis
  • pneumonia
  • deterioration after myocardial infarction
  • thrombophlebitis
  • anemia
  • climacteric disorders
  • depression
  • endocrine system disorders.

“My tuberculosis was cured in the hospital, but bronchial asthma remained, I thought, forever. But then, on the advice of a friend, I started drinking moth extract, and within six months my condition improved so much that even in the summer I stopped choking.”
