What is propolis?
Sometimes called “bee glue,” the finished product is a mixture of resins, beeswax, salivary secretions, and a pinch of pollen.
Why is propolis amazing?
Propolis is amazing due to its diverse range of health benefits, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a natural substance (resin) collected by bees and used for various purposes. Bees use propolis as an external immune system. They use it to fill in cracks and crevices in their hives. The antimicrobial properties help keep the colony healthy. It has also been used in traditional medicine (let's talk!). Modern research continues to uncover its potential in supporting immune function, promoting wound healing, and even addressing certain medical conditions.
