Beeswax Overview

Beeswax Beeswax, produced by bees to construct honeycombs, starts out white but changes to yellow or brown when mixed with pollen oils. It is used orally for hyperlipidemia, peptic ulcers, diarrhea, hiccups, and pain, and topically for anal fissures, burns, diaper rash, hemorrhoids, oral mucositis, radiation dermatitis, and fungal skin infections. In the food industry, white beeswax and beeswax absolute serve as stiffening agents, while in manufacturing, they act as thickeners, emulsifiers, and stiffening agents in cosmetics, and as fragrance ingredients in soaps and perfumes. The composition of beeswax varies among bee families and breeds. Some studies suggest that very-long-chain fatty alcohols from beeswax may lower cholesterol and affect LDL metabolism. Mixtures of honey, beeswax, and olive oil may inhibit bacteria growth, and beeswax with NSAIDs may protect against NSAID-induced ulcers.

Conjugated Estrogens Overview

  • The estradiol cypionate and estradiol valerate forms of estrogen injection are used to treat hot flushes (hot flashes; sudden strong feelings of heat and sweating) and/or vaginal dryness, itching, and burning in women who are experiencing menopause (change of life; the end of monthly menstrual periods). However, women who need a medication only to treat vaginal dryness, itching, or burning should consider a different treatment. These forms of estrogen injection are also sometimes used to treat the symptoms of low estrogen in young women who do not produce enough estrogen naturally. The estradiol valerate form of estrogen injection is also sometimes used to relieve the symptoms of certain types of prostate (a male reproductive organ) cancer. The conjugated estrogens form of estrogen injection is used to treat abnormal vaginal bleeding that a doctor has decided is caused only by a problem with the amounts of certain hormones in the body. Estrogen injection is in a class of medications called hormones. It works by replacing estrogen that is normally produced by the body.
