Obnozhka is a flower pollen that bees flavor with their secret, thanks to which it is saturated with useful components and is less allergenic product beekeeping than honey. But despite all its unique qualities and medicinal properties it is important to know how to take bee pollen. Otherwise, you can seriously harm your body without getting any benefit.

By following the rules of admission, you will ensure good health

How to take: possible ways

There are two forms of pollen on the market, which will affect the way you take it.

1. Dried beetroot, packaged in bags. Before use, it can be dissolved in water or taken in its natural form.
2. Honey with pollen. Most often, pollen is poured with May or acacia honey, as many apitherapists are sure that it is they who are able to retain most of the beneficial substances.

   Important! After some time, the pollen loses a quarter of its healing qualities. This happens approximately six months after collection, and after a year, about 70% of the nutrients are destroyed.

   And honey in this case plays the role of a preservative and introduces a large amount of its valuable components into the mixture.

Dissolve or not?

Considering the question of how to properly take bee pollen, many often ask - dissolve it in water or use it in pure form? In fact, a dry, undiluted product that must be absorbed in the mouth brings more benefit. Saliva is able to release absolutely all useful substances that are very easily absorbed through the mucous membrane, after which they begin to have an effect on the body much faster.
The pollen dissolved in water also benefits, but to a lesser extent. Most often, this method is resorted to by people who, for some reason, are not able to swallow a clean product.

Homemade mixes

Pollen is sometimes added to other foods. As a basis, you can choose:

• flower honey;
• butter;
• jam;
• jam.

They do this quite rarely and only because some do not tolerate the specific taste of the pollen - a little bitter.

The powder in the form of a powder is mixed with the base. In this form, it is very quickly absorbed by the body, bringing great benefits.

How much to take?

When using bee pollen, it is important not only to know how to take, but also how much. The dosage may be as follows:

• The daily dose for an adult, according to apitherapists, should not exceed 32 g. This amount is optimal for the body to receive all the necessary substances and be able to absorb them.
• If pollen is taken as prophylactic, then for an adult daily dose will be 15 g (full dessert spoon).
• During the treatment of any disease, the norm will be 25 g, in rare cases up to 30 g.

Advice! Follow the rules for dosing pollen, as the body simply cannot process the large amount of amino acids that will come from both pollen and other foods.

As for how to take bee pollen to children, there are also certain restrictions.

• Children aged 3 to 5 years should consume no more than 4 g per day;
• from 6 to 12 years old, the daily dose is 8 g;
• from 12 and older - no more than 12 g.

Advice! Do not forget that bee products can cause allergies, so you must first exclude individual intolerance in your baby.

When to take?

It is recommended to consume bee pollen in the morning on an empty stomach. Half an hour after that, you can start breakfast. If desired, you can take the entire daily dose at once or divide it into two times. The second dose should be taken at about 12 noon or in the evening half an hour before meals.

The pollen should be sucked in the mouth until it is completely dissolved. It is not recommended to drink it immediately, it is advisable to withstand 20 minutes. Do not use the pollen immediately before bedtime, as some of its components are causative agents of the nervous system, so sleep problems are possible.

For how long can you use the pudding?

If you want to support your immunity, then a month of admission will be enough. But the best option will be prevention throughout the year, which is carried out in certain months and one course takes no more than 3 weeks:

• the first course is held in December to support the body;
• the second course falls in January, when prevention of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza is necessary;
• the third course is postponed to April, when the body especially needs vitamins.

Important! Always specify the duration of the course when various diseases at the apitherapist. Most often it takes no more than 20 days.

Subject to all the above rules of dosage and administration, this unique product will bring maximum benefit to your body.

Ways to use pollen

There are many types of pollen different color, different taste. One is sweet, the other is bitter. But the beekeeper usually receives a mixture of ten of the most common plants, and the taste, in general, turns out to be rather bitter, and not everyone likes this bitterness.

How to be, how to give the pollen as pleasant a taste as possible? We will now deal with this issue.

Let's start with the fact that you can take pollen different ways:

1) in in kind, - in lumps or processed into powder
2) mixed with some suitable product- butter, jam, honey, etc.

Taking pollen in its natural form

A) lumps - puffs, such as they fall into the trap, that is, in the form in which they are supplied to the consumer by most beekeepers. Many of my friends gnaw on natural pollen and feel great. You can drink it with a little water to make it easier to swallow. If it seems too bitter, you can simultaneously suck on a piece of sugar, or seize with a spoonful of honey. I am not a supporter of mixing pollen with water in a glass, but maybe someone will like this method. You can also prepare something like a potion by mixing pollen with liquid or powdered honey.
b) in the form of a powder. Processed powdered pollen mixes better with honey, and, naturally, the mixture is more homogeneous. But her appearance is unappetizing. A combination of pollen and mustard gives a peculiar mixture: prepared in this way, it is easily digested.

Mixing

This is a delight, and should be especially appreciated by those who do not like the bitter taste. certain types pollen. All mixtures include pollen, previously turned into powder with a coffee grinder. The resulting powder must be rubbed with butter. Remarkable results are obtained by adding honey to the mixture. In general, a first-class strengthening agent is created with an unusually rich content and excellent digestibility. In the absence of oil, you can use another fat or jam, gooseberry, raspberry, quince, etc. jelly is best. But all this, of course, is completely optional. But the simplest thing is just to chew on the pollen clumps.

Dosage

It seems proven that the properties of pollen are mainly due to the content of vitamins and amino acids in it. There are many different vitamins in pollen, but their percentage is relatively low. The most important thing about their role is that they serve as catalysts. And therefore, their presence has an undeniable useful action, since they contribute to the flow of a certain number of biological reactions, and the vitamins themselves are not destroyed from this. Not so, apparently, is the case with amino acids. If we proceed from the quantities necessary for the organism, without complicating and not indulging in scientific reasoning, then we will come to the conclusion that the amount of pollen in daily diet should be around 32.

But since there are other sources of amino acids in our diet, we can consider the following doses of pollen to be sufficient: maintenance -20 g per day, shock -32 g per day (in exceptional cases). This means that with reduced nutrition, overwork, weakness, it is necessary to receive about 32 g of pollen per day, while a minimum of 20 g is enough to maintain the health of an adult who carries significant physical and mental load.

Regarding the diet for children, it is always better to consult a doctor, but the following can be taken as a basis: from 3 to 5 years 12 g per day from 6 to 12 years 16 g per day.

After 12 years - a normal diet for adults.

Of course, the consumer will not always have scales at hand to weigh the indicated doses.

Pollen can be measured with spoons, knowing that 1 teaspoon of dry pollen, without top, weighs 5 g, 1 dessert spoon of 10 g, 1 tablespoon of 15 g, 1 teaspoon of dry pollen with a top weighs 8 g, 1 dessert spoon of pollen with a top weighs 15 g, 1 heaping tablespoon of pollen weighs 24 g

What time of day should you take pollen?

It is best to take pollen in the morning, on an empty stomach, about a quarter of an hour before the first breakfast. At such a time, you can safely swallow the whole daily allowance in one go. But you can divide it into two equal parts - take one in the morning, before the first breakfast and the other - either before the second breakfast, about twelve o'clock, or before dinner. The latter routine is especially recommended for children aged 3 to 12.

How to take flower pollen

The flower pollen that has been separated for reception (about 1 teaspoon) must be chewed thoroughly so that it is well moistened with saliva, and after this happens, the pollen can be swallowed. To facilitate the intake process, the allocated dose of pollen for oral administration can be poured into a glass, pour boiled water 50 ml, and leave everything to infuse for about 2-3 hours, shaking everything from time to time. This solution should be taken approximately 30 minutes before meals. You can also prepare such a mixture: mix honey with pollen in a ratio of 1: 1. It can be consumed 1 teaspoon, 2-3 times a day.

It is worth recalling that in pollen the constituents are not quite balanced with all the needs of the human body, for this reason it is better to use pollen in specially prescribed doses that do not exceed 50-100 g per day. And the use of pollen in quantities exceeding these doses will simply not be absorbed by the body! Also, it must be recalled that you need to store pollen at home in a cool, dry place.

For adults, the dose of pollen intake per day is 1-2 teaspoons without top (this is for average weight women), and 2-3 teaspoons for men. If there are elevated physical exercise, or there is a period of treatment, the dose of flower pollen can be doubled, or even tripled.

Flower pollen can only be given to children from the age of 6 months, the dose for such children, a quarter of 1 coffee spoon of pollen, mixed with food. Children aged 12 years, pollen can be given half a coffee spoon per day.

Caution: contraindications!

By itself, plant pollen has strong allergenic properties. Therefore, the question is how to take bee pollen in order to avoid allergic reactions and other side effects.

It is believed that pollen treated with bee enzymes loses its ability to cause allergies, so reactions to it are rare, and they are associated with the possible contamination of pollen with chitin particles left over from mites. But it is impossible to underestimate the possibility of allergies, therefore, people with allergies to bee products, such treatment is contraindicated.

Until recently, apitherapists believed that a single dose of pollen could exceed 20 grams.

Today, such recommendations are recognized as erroneous: reception high doses bee pollen can cause toxic injury liver due to an excess of vitamin A, which this bee product is so rich in. Therefore, the optimal daily dose is considered to be 2.5-5 g of pollen, divided into 2-3 doses. Due to the tonic effect of pollen, its last intake is carried out no later than 19.00, so as not to cause sleep disturbances.

In 1 tsp. contains an average of 2.7 g of bee pollen. This means that for an adult normal weight body as general tonic 1/3 - 1/2 tsp will be enough. per day.

Beneficial features stored in pollen for a year. After a year, it can only be used as dietary product or use to make homemade cosmetics. Can do water infusion, taking 1 tsp. pollen, pour it with a glass of boiled water and let it brew for 2-3 hours. It is useful to wash your hair with this infusion to get rid of dandruff and make your hair silky and shiny

If you take pollen mixed with honey, allergic reactions are possible, which manifest themselves in the form severe itching skin, headache, runny nose and more. Before starting to use medicinal purposes pollen (just like any bee product), at least 1 test for allergic reactions of the body must be carried out. Although pollen is excellent medicine thanks to your own way unique composition, it is necessary to observe the dosage of the intake .. It must be remembered that the excessive use of flower pollen can cause various bleeding, the consequences of which are most often unpredictable.

With severe forms of diabetes, pollen along with honey should not be consumed.

From flower to bee house

Even people who have never been to an apiary are familiar with the picture: a bee with yellow balls on hind legs hurriedly climbs into the entrance of the hive. Such a sweet, life-affirming spectacle is replicated in films, photographs, even in advertising.

Bees collect pollen by flying from flower to flower and knocking it down to their hind legs, on which nature prudently “built” tiny handbags. To prevent the product from spilling out, insects change its properties, pre-wetting it with their saliva, enriched with specific enzymes. It turns out a tight, moist ball - an obnozhka. It keeps tightly in the purse during the flight.

The method of its operation is simple, but effective for collecting obnozhka. Bees are forced to pass through special small holes. Insects squeeze inside the hive, but the beehive still remains in the design of the trap, pouring into small pallets.
