Bee protection for your immune system
Honeybees are clever.
They make bee propolis by collecting resin from trees and combine it with beeswax and enzymes to seal and protect the hive. This barrier provides powerful protection, warding off any incoming bacteria, viruses, fungi and other illness from entering the hive.
Honeybees even lay down a mat made of propolis to walk over and cleanse themselves as they enter the hive.
Bee propolis protects our body in the same way it protects the hive. Because bee propolis originates from a plant’s immune system, it's extremely potent and contains over 300 natural, bioactive compounds, flavonoids and phenolics (potent antioxidants) that work at a cellular level to fight free radicals and support the body’s immune system, naturally.
TRADITIONAL USE OF BEE PROPOLIS
The history of bee propolis usage dates back to ancient Greeks, Romans, Persians and Egyptians. Egyptian papyrus scrolls (the Hearst, Ebers, Berlin and Edwin Smith scrolls) describe the use of bee propolis as a treatment for wounds – and, in addition to its soothing and healing properties, Ancient Egyptians were known to have used propolis as an 'embalming' substance.
As early as 100 BC, Roman soldiers were recorded as using bee propolis during war times for wound healing, but it wasn’t until 1600 that propolis’s status as a natural medicine was acknowledged, with it being listed as an official drug in the London Pharmacopoeia, UK.
More recently, bee propolis was widely used in World Wars I and II for its ability to help with wound healing.
Today, people all over the world still use bee propolis as a natural traditional medicine support for wounds, skin, oral hygiene and repair, antibacterial action and immune function.
BACKED BY SCIENCE
There are now many scientific studies that prove the immune power of the beehive and what people have known for centuries – that natural bee propolis works when it comes to immune function support1 and antibacterial support.
In fact, over the past two decades, there has been a ten-fold increase in bee propolis research papers with over 4,000scientific papers now published.
