Therapeutic Applications of Propolis and Royal Jelly, and Apitherapy Future: Numerous Health Contexts in a Concise Review and Simple Illustration.
What are the Benefits of Honeybee Products like Propolis and Royal Jelly in Human Health?
Numerous scientific studies from different countries have evaluated the therapeutic potential of honeybee products (honey, propolis, and royal jelly). Honeybee products (e.g., propolis and royal jelly) offer numerous health benefits across a wide spectrum of diseases and conditions, as documented by the clinical studies cited in the book "Honeybee Science and Apitherapy Future".
Clinical studies cited in the book "Honeybee Science and Apitherapy Future (Dr. Muhammad R. Manwar)" report that numerous therapeutic formulations of royal jelly have shown significant improvements in reproductive health (e.g., menopausal symptoms, asthenozoospermia), mucositis, diabetes, skin hydration, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and certain viral infections.
Propolis indicates a wide range of clinical benefits: it has been used as an adjuvant therapy in depression and shows pronounced positive effects on oral conditions (e.g., periodontitis, alveolar osteitis, aphthous stomatitis, hereditary malformation of cleft lip, and oral hygiene of cancer patients during chemo/radiotherapy complications) across diverse patient populations. Clinical trials evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of propolis report propolis benefits for muscle fatigue recovery and correlate cognitive changes in older adults with propolis administration. Numerous additional studies have evaluated propolis for therapeutic efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis, pneumococcal pneumonia, kidney disease support, COVID-19 symptom relief, COPD, and NAFLD. Captivatingly, propolis therapies improved mood and metabolic syndrome, managed diabetic foot ulcers, and reproductive problems (cervicitis, vaginal infection, Peyronie’s disease), as highlighted in the clinical studies cited in this book (Honeybee Science and Apitherapy Future).
This post provides only an introductory overview of the therapeutic benefits of propolis and royal jelly in numerous diseases.

Author: Dr. Muhammad R. Manwar, PhD.
Dr. Muhammad R. Manwar (PhD) gained research experience and knowledge in rapidly emerging sciences, including hereditary disorders and cancers, genomics, bioinformatics, pharmacogenetics, bacteriology, food chemistry, and glycomics. In different capacities, he has served higher‑education institutions—including public universities—in Asia and the Middle East. He made editorial contributions to international health and life science journals as an Editor (e.g., Topic Editor). In collaboration with scientists from the UK, China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, he published peer-reviewed articles on rapidly emerging facets of biomedical science in high-quality journals (e.g., Q1- and Q2-ranked). His publications have been cited in well-respected (Q1 and Q2 ranking) scientific journals. He has attended scientific conferences and meetings across Asia, the Gulf, and Europe. Moreover, he has been invited as a Keynote/invited speaker and session chair at international scientific events. In 2023, Dr. Muhammad delivered a keynote lecture at an international apitherapy conference, presenting medicinal applications to scientists and academicians (including editors) from Europe, Turkey, and other countries. In 2025, he spoke at an international food chemistry conference in Turkey and received invitations from international universities to lecture and explore collaborations. His profile is decorated with international awards, fellowships, and service on the scientific committee of an international conference. He has shared research insights with scientists from Asia, Europe, Turkey, and Africa. His research strengths span rapidly evolving sciences, including cancer glycobiology and genomics, food chemistry, hereditary disease genetics, bacteriology and immunology, apitherapy, pharmacogenetics, and public health genetics. Since 2012, he has been actively studying these fields to maximize potential health benefits for patients with hereditary disorders and cancer.
