propolis

What is Propolis?

What is Propolis? Our great little friends the honey bees for which we have so much to be thankful for are also great little housekeepers. They make this most powerful, natural antibiotic which is far better than chemical antibiotics.



They make and line their bee hives with a hard, green, sticky substance called Propolis.

It is resin collected by honey bees from plants which they use to keep their hives squeaky clean.

It is used to seal any cracks or openings in the bee hives and disinfects everything in there.

They are great little housekeepers. Remnants of Propolis can be found in raw honey

I have every reason to be as thankful as I am to the health benefits of honey and the health benefits of propolis.

These two together managed to cure my daughter naturally.

All artificial medications had been tried and although gave temporary relief, nothing lasted for very long!

Today we are becoming more aware again of the benefits of honey (thank goodness) but if like me a few years ago, before I researched natural medicines, you have not heard about propolis I can assure you there are many propolis uses.

It is being used increasingly more and more not as just a health product; the "beauty" industry has cottoned on to the benefits it has on skin.

It can be found in many forms now including facial creams, soaps, lipsticks, chewing gum, sunscreens just to name a few products.

My daughter used propolis lozenges or capsules which were very large a few years ago but thankfully they have reduced in size somewhat now!



One of the first medical research programmes carried out on propolis was on rats.

It seems rats can have dental cavities just like us and when scientists applied propolis to their teeth the enzyme that encourages dental plaque was destroyed.

This is why you can now buy Propolis toothpaste, in fact I recommend it whole heartedly. Goodness me, those honey bees are incredible!

If you are ever asked "what is Propolis" you can now give an informed answer and even explain the health benefits of Propolis.

Spread the word, spread the benefits of honey and the benefits of Propolis.

Personally I am so happy this product has been picked up by both the beauty industry and of course the health industry, however on top of my "wish list" would be for everyone in the "medical world" using the medical benefits of honey as a priority.......who knows, maybe one day.

If anyone ever asks "What is Propolis"? you can answer them now as like me you are now an expert (smile)
