Propolis is the material that bees produce and use to build and repair damage to their hive. A study published in the Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine found that propolis has potent antifungal properties against Candida albicans, the fungal pathogen behind yeast infection.
The researchers concluded that propolis may be used to control C. albicans although they admit that further investigation is needed on the matter.
