Bee pollen

Meanwhile, in a stateiy iaboratory atop a hill, the second finest alchemist in the land cast her sight beyond her potions and upon the landscape below. The troubles in her land prompted her to speak aloud, "How have things come to this Although I am pleased for the good fortune that has come to my friends who contract and build dungeons, and who enforce the bee pollen laws, I cannot help but feel that...that...aw fucketh it ". And for no...

Bee pollen products are used as general tonics. Their use has been associated with allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis (2).

Exposure to Asteraceous plants may also result in the development of contact dermatitis. One Serbian study has indicated that it is not unusual to detect sensitization to chamomile (Chamomilla recutita), arnica (Arnica montana), tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), and feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) (Jovanovic et al., 2004). Contact dermatitis, along with asthma and rhinitis, may also accompany occupational exposure to chamomile (Rudzki et al., 2003) and contact dermatitis to feverfew (Hausen, 1981). Similarly, chamomile in cosmetic products can also be a cause of dermatitis (Paulsen, 2002 Rycroft, 2003). Because chamomile-containing products, particularly in shampoos and other OTC products, are so widespread, the linkage to these types of adverse events are likely underreported. Also, use of royal jelly, a thick mixture of honey, pollen, and their allergens, has been associated with several cases of bronchospasm, and topical application of concentrated forms of bee pollen (propalis) to contact dermatitis (Perharic, 1993). Milk thistle has also been known to cause urticaria (De Smet, 2004). 

Recently, by the ligand-accelerated osmium catalyzed asymmetric hydroxylation using a cinchona alkaloid derivative, the 22/ ,23/ -epimer was obtained as the major product of the oxidation (77). Thus, epibrassinolide may be ideal for practical use, and, therefore, is one of the most desirable brassinosteroids because of the ease with which it can be synthesized. This compound showed about one tenth the activity of brassinolide in Raphanus and tomato bioassay (5). In field trials, the activity of epibrassinolide was about the same as of brassinolide. Epibrassinolide is a natural sterol. This was confirmed by GC-MS analysis, which identified epibrassinolide, along with co-existing brassinolide, brassinone, and castasterone, from the bee pollen of the broad bean Vida faba obtained in China (72). 

Other Western herbs that have been investigated for the treatment of BPH include pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo), nettle root (Urtica dioica or Urtica urens), bee pollen (particularly that from the rye plant), African potato (tubers of Hypoxis rooperi), and the African tree Pygeum africanum, also known as Prunus africanum. In most cases, but particularly with pumpkin seeds and African potato, the main active components are sterols, such as p-sitosterol, which also has been used for BPH.
