Propolis is no modern day miracle but a miracle as old as life itself. Bees have been building and maintaining their hives since the dawn of time with Propolis. It is an ancient, ancestral ally that reminds our own immune system that health and vitality are worth protecting and fighting for.
 
Propolis is known as the immune system of the hive and contains all the building blocks necessary to sustain and maintain the health of the whole hive. 
 
What is Propolis and How is it Made?
Propolis is created deep within the heart and soul of the Bee. They revere it and hold it as a sacred lifeblood. When Bees are out and about gathering pollen, they will stop and gather medicinal resins and saps from plants and trees. They then bring back the resin to their hives and mix it with their saliva and beeswax to create what we call Propolis.
 
Bees use Propolis as a natural antibiotic and shield against microbial pathogens that may threaten the hive. Propolis contains over 500 bioactive molecules which have antibacterial, anti- fungal, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antioxidant properties. Propolis is distributed throughout the hive and used to protect and defend the hives immunity, to seal cracks in the hive and smooth its walls, and to maintain its temperature and humidity.
 
How to use Propolis?
 
The first thing in knowing how to use Propolis lies in knowing when you need it. Propolis is best used when your immune system needs fortification and support. We suggest 10-15 drops or as needed for acute conditions,  under the tongue or within a little water.
