PROPOLIS


Propolis is a substance made by bees from the saps of buds and trees. It is used as a ‘glue’ to fill any cracks and crevices in the hive, keeping out enemies such as wax moth, draughts and rain. The bees also coat the entire surface of the hive with propolis, ‘polishing’ it to create one of the most sterile environments known to nature and this protects the colony from the spread of infection within, performing the role of auto-immune system by acting as a combined antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal substance.

The word ‘propolis’ comes from Greek and translates as ‘Defender Of The City.’ Propolis was used by the Greeks, Egyptians & Romans for the treatment of wounds, sores and ulcers.

Preparations using propolis can be very effective when helping to treat problem skin such as eczema and psoriasis. (See Cosmetics)
