Warts are common problems affecting adults and children. Multiple treatment options are available, but no single therapy stands out as uniformly effective. Propolis and Echinacea are relatively safe immunomodulators with antiviral properties. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Propolis and Echinacea in treating different types of warts. In a single-blind, randomized, 3-months trial, 135 patients with different types of warts received oral Propolis, Echinacea, or placebo. In patients with plane and common warts treated with Propolis, cure was achieved in 75% and 73% of patients, respectively. These results were significantly better than those associated with Echinacea treatment or placebo. We conclude that Propolis is an effective and safe immunomodulating therapy for plane and common warts.
疣是影响成人和儿童的常见问题。有多种治疗选择，但没有一种单一的疗法被普遍认为是有效的。蜂胶和紫锥菊是相对安全的免疫调节剂，具有抗病毒特性。本研究旨在评估蜂胶和紫锥菊治疗不同类型疣的疗效。在一项为期 3 个月的单盲、随机临床试验中，135 名患有不同类型疣的患者接受了口服蜂胶、紫锥菊或安慰剂治疗。在接受蜂胶治疗的平面和普通疣患者中，分别有 75%和 73%的患者痊愈。这些结果明显优于紫锥菊治疗或安慰剂的结果。我们得出结论，蜂胶是一种有效且安全的免疫调节疗法，可用于治疗平面和普通疣。
