Bee Well with Propolis!

By Ella, Nutrition Advisor

Bee products have been used as natural remedies for thousands of years. Bee Propolis is no exception, with references to its use as a healing aid in medical documents dating back to ancient Greece and the time of Aristotle. It is sometimes referred to as ‘bee glue’!

Propolis is a natural substance collected by honeybees from buds and trees. It consists of various compounds including tree resin, essential oils, waxes and bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are one of the most important components of Propolis. These natural compounds have been shown to have powerful antioxidant affects, which means that they help protect the body and cells from free-radical damage. Too much free-radical activity in the body may lead to accelerated aging – which is not ideal!

The constituents of propolis are also thought to exert anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. Honeybees collect and metabolise propolis resin for the purpose of keeping their hives healthy, protected, sealed, and disinfected.

Propolis & Immunity:

Propolis is a popular food supplement. Reported uses and health benefits include:

• Winter wellness
• Strengthening the immune system
• Increasing resistance to colds and infections
• Supporting the upper respiratory tract
• Soothing the throat

If you want to try propolis, one of the best ways to take it is in the form of a fluid extract. This way, the bio-active ingredients are easily and quickly absorbed without having to be broken down by the digestive system.
