The use of the medicinal plant raw material and bee products in the treatment of dermatological diseases

Aim. To analyze the application of natural components in dermatological practice, as well as to study the potential benefits of using extracts from the medicinal plant raw material (MPRM) (Curcuma longa, Aloe vera, Calendula officinalis) and bee products (propolis, bee venom, honey) in the treatment of skin diseases. Materials and methods. To achieve this aim, methods of logical-content issue formation, content-analysis of publications in scientific and practical-oriented medical and pharmaceutical publications, comparative analysis and graphic tools of visual presentation of the data obtained were used. This study presents the results of scientific and practical work of leading scientists and the own experimental research materials of the authors of the article. Determination and observational studies cover clinical tests that diagnose acne on the skin. Results. Traditional treatments, including topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and systemic antibiotics, while effective, are not without side effects and limitations, requiring the study of alternative therapies. The combination of bee products and medicinal plant extracts proposed is a potentially synergistic approach to improving acne treatment outcomes. These materials show a clear effect of using natural components in dermatological practice. Conclusions. The analysis of scientific literature has shown that the plant raw material and bee products have significant therapeutic potential due to a wide range of biologically active substances. The use of honey, propolis and bee venom in the treatment of dermatological diseases, as well as plant extracts that enhance the effect of bee products is of particular interest. The studies conducted have confirmed the effectiveness of the medicinal compositions developed on the basis of the MPRM and bee products for the treatment of dermatological pathologies.
