Do you know that propolis has been named as an official drug in London in the 1600s? Also known as bee glue or bee propolis, this brownish resinous substance originates from trees and plants and have been used by bees to seal and protect their hives from germs, viruses and bacteria, just like how we use cement for our homes.
It is also widely known that this ‘wonder drug’ has anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal effects and has even been known as a natural antibiotic by alternative medicine practioners. The good news is, unlike antibiotics, propolis does not kill friendly bacteria, but it keeps the body in a balanced state instead.
Research has shown that propolis is a potential cure to cancer treatments. Propolis has some broad antimicrobial activity and that it may have anti-inflammatory effects that could make it useful in the treatment of some forms of arthritis, among other disorders. It is also widely in dental surgery as a form of safe and natural dental wash and helps to treat gum infection and plague.
Personally, I have found propolis to be an effective treatment for sore throats, coughs and other respiratory-related ailments. Recently, I bought a bottle of propolis spray in Perth and it provided so much relief to the strep throat I was suffering from during our family vacation. Since, I have used propolis as a helpful supplement to guard my immune system.
What I love about propolis is that it is non-toxic. Various studies have confirmed that propolis stimulates enzyme systems, cell metabolism, circulation, collagen formation and improved healing of burn wounds.
When buying propolis, make sure it’s 100% pure propolis, alcohol FREE and purchase it from your trusted health store.
