A recent study indicates that Bee Propolis is effective in treating patients with minor burns. In this research, doctors used Bee Propolis Cream on one of the wounds while treating the others with silver sulfadiazene. Silver sulfadiazene is normally used as remedy in treating patients with second and third degree burns. SSD is kept applied to the wound until the burn has healed to minimize the risk of infection.

When compared, wounds treated with Bee Propolis Cream showed less inflammation and healed more quickly than wounds treated with silver sulfadiazene. This led researchers to believe that Bee Propolis Creme did in fact aid the healing process with these burns.
