Propolis is an organic
resinous substance exuded by certain trees to protect themselves
from infection & disease. Honeybees then collect this resin
from leaf buds or bark. In the beehive, a carpet of Propolis is
placed at its entrance in order to disinfect & immunise the
bees from infection as they return from their flights.
To protect their young, the brood chamber cells are lined with a
protective coating of Propolis, which is also used as a sealant to
maintain a constant temperature, whilst ensuring a totally water
& airtight situation. Logically, this would be the ideal
breeding ground for bacteria. However, due to the potent natural
medicinal properties of Propolis, the beehive remains the most
sterile environment in all of nature.
Propolis is an extremely verastile natural substance with a long
history of traditional use. Propolis is rich in B group vitamins
along with C, E, H, P & provitamin A, amino & organic acids
+ minerals. Unlike synthetic preparations, Propolis may be
taken on a continual daily basis as an important part of a health
maintenance program..
Allergic
reaction is rare. Test by initially dissolving 1 drop under the
tongue or by patch test when applying externally to the
skin.
