Wax products

Man is a creature so inventive that it can sometimes even benefit from industrial waste and domestic pests. Do you know that waste products wax moth, (actually its excrement) are very popular among beekeepers and adherents of traditional medicine. She is advised to take as an effective medicine for the treatment of many different diseases.

A bit about the fire

A wax moth, or a moth, is a real thunderstorm for all beekeepers. The appearance of a moth moth there are two varieties. The large one can reach up to 3.5 cm in wingspan and usually has a brownish or beige color. A smaller mole does not exceed 2.5 cm in wingspan, has a grayish tint and is almost invisible. Butterflies are nocturnal.

The beekeeper finds out that the beehive was attacked by fireplugs by gnawed wax on the combs, from which honey then completely disappears. Small pellets remain at the crime scene - the waste products of the wax moth, which can be collected from it to make medical tincture.

Voracious larvae leave excrement, which the moth lays in the combs. Hatching from eggs, they begin to rapidly destroy honey, gnawing at themselves whole wax labyrinths and emptying the honeycombs. With a lack of food, wax moth larvae can even attack larvae of bees or the like. That's why their presence in the evidence can lead to the death of the swarm - they simply do not allow the bees to reproduce offspring.

As preventive measures it is necessary:

• ensure cleanliness in the evidence and proper care for them;
• periodically look at the honeycomb in order to detect damage in time;
• to repel wax moths, hang dried wormwood, mint or lay orange peels near the evidence;
• the ognevka cannot penetrate the central hole - other bees will not let it through, so you need to make sure that there are no gaps in the hives through which it could get inside.

If larvae or waste products of the wax moth were still found in the hive, they must be collected. Damaged honeycombs must be treated with acetic acid or preparations specifically designed to combat wax moth.

Beneficial features

Scientists still argue about whether the excrement of wax moth larvae has medicinal properties. The fact that, in the absence of other food, the larvae begin to eat their own excrement and continue to develop further, is incontrovertible. But not only a wax moth is capable of this.

During the study of the products of the vital activity of wax moth, some useful substances were really discovered in them:

• Iridoids. They give the tincture of excrement a characteristic bitter aftertaste. Similar substances are present in the extracts of some plants. But in the fruits that are usually eaten, they are not. Iridoids are able to lower the level of bad cholesterol, neutralize and promote the elimination of toxins, activate the immune system.
• Steriods. Not at all those who use athletes to build muscle. But the substances contained in pzhvm are close to them in their effects on the body. They enhance metabolic processes, relieve pain and muscle tension. This feature has found application in the treatment of diseases affecting various muscle groups.
• Flavonoids. Substances that favorably affect the whole body and especially the cardiovascular system. They cleanse the walls of blood vessels of cholesterol plaques, prevent varicose veins and thrombosis, increase the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels. With regular use, they greatly increase immunity.

But frankly, the concentration of nutrients contained in the waste product of the wax moth is not too high compared to other beekeeping products and extracts of medicinal plants. Therefore, such a product has not yet appeared as a medicine on the shelves of pharmacy chains.

What helps

Beekeepers believe that the wax moth excrement contains all the beneficial substances in a form already processed and assimilated by the larva. Therefore, such a product enters the bloodstream and begins to work in the body much faster than in an arc form. It is recommended to take a tincture from the excrement of wax moth larvae to treat:

1. Tuberculosis. It helps to reduce, and then completely stop the debilitating coughing attacks. If you take the drug in combination with a tincture of wax moth larvae (there is such a therapeutic product), then tangible results can be seen after a few days, and the cough practically disappears after 1.5-2 months.
2. Heart diseases. Because tincture of wax moth positively affects muscles: relaxes and restores them, then it has a similar effect on the heart. At the same time improving the state of blood vessels, it has a beneficial effect on the state of the entire cardiovascular system: it reduces the frequency and strength of angina attacks, evens out the heart rhythm.
3. Low immunity. Useful product of bee moth stimulates the immune system, thereby significantly increasing the body's defenses. Its regular use serves as a good prophylaxis of frequent colds, viral and even oncological diseases, since the growth of cancer cells is also constrained by our immunity.
4. Fungal infections. The product has pronounced anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The treated areas of the skin easily get rid of dermatitis and other lesions of a fungal nature.
5. Infertility. Beekeepers convince that the product is able to cope with this problem. He is not able to restore serious reproductive system disorders. But it increases sex drive, helps to normalize hormonal levels and increases sperm motility.

This tool is also used in sports medicine. According to the reviews of the athletes themselves, they significantly increase physical activity and endurance, contributing to a more effective training. You can use the product as a general strengthening agent.

How to cook and apply

Many are interested in how to prepare a tincture of excrement or wax moth larvae and how to take this product correctly.

Important!

If you are not a beekeeper, then it is better to buy the finished product through the Internet or its distributors and apply according to the instructions attached to it.

When using the product, one must remember that tincture from ПЖВМ is a potent product, therefore, in no case should you exceed the recommended dosage. It is 1 drop per 1 year of life for a child (from 6 years and older!) And approximately 20-25 drops for an adult. Moreover, it is enough to drink the product diluted in water only once a day for 1 to 3 months.

Recipes and detailed instructions on how to prepare tinctures from larvae or excrement of wax moth when making can be found on the Internet with video and detailed comments. Let’s say right away, this is a troublesome business and experienced beekeepers specifically raise wax moth for these purposes. Under natural conditions, she is an extremely unpretentious creature, but with artificial breeding there are many subtleties that must be taken into account. Most often, to obtain 10% tincture per 100 ml of alcohol, two hundred gram glasses of larvae are taken, infused for about 3 weeks. A product from excrement is prepared in a similar way, but infused 2 times less.

To prepare the tincture, the larvae are selected only individuals of a certain size, and you will have to do this manually. For them to develop quickly and correctly, you will have to maintain a constant temperature close to the conditions of the bee hive, and this is 35-36^aboutC. Larvae eat not only and not so much wax - for full development they need honey, bee bread and a mixture of other products. Ventilation must also be provided and it is impossible to keep them in tightly closed containers.

That is why most beekeepers still regard wax moth as a pest, which it actually is, and take active measures to exterminate it. And if you really want to use the product of vital activity of wax moth for treatment, then it is easier and safer to buy it from professionals. Try only if you are confident in its quality and trust the manufacturer.
