Natural antibiotic and germ fighter.
Propolis in particular is the beehive’s very special treasure because it is a natural antibiotic. Bees collect resin from a variety of trees and shrubs and blend it with pollen pellets while feeding larvae. Over 360 substances have already been found in it. Bees coat the inside of the hive with propolis, thus protecting it from moisture, wind and microbes.
We can use it in the form of alcohol- or water-based solutions or mix it with honey or other drinks (yoghurt, sour milk, tea etc.). We know of various pharmaceutical preparations made with propolis, such as ointments, tablets, injections and solutions that can be used topically.
