Ingredient of the Month
Bee Propolis
The word propolis, meaning “defenses before a town,” comes from the Greek. It is one of the bee’s building materials. The bees use this sticky substance in making and repairing their hives. The raw material is a resinous substance exuded by the leaf buds of trees such as a horse chestnut and poplar, and is found in cracks in the bark of trees such as spruce, larch, and other conifers. The bees collect it, take it back to the hive, and use it as cement. In addition, whenever a foreign insect is in the hive, the bees encase it in propolis; because of its antibacterial qualities, the propolis disinfects the foreign object, thus protecting the hive and its occupants.
Antibiotic Properties
Propolis can be valuable for anything involving bacteria or germs. It is said that any propolis treatment should work within three weeks or it is not going to work.
Because of its anti-bacterial properties, propolis has received rave reviews for blemishes. Bee propolis in a product helps keep the skin clean and free from germs. For serious blemishes or acne, it can be applied topically as well as taken internally.
Try this at home
Propolis is often recommended for dry eczema with wonderful results; however, it has been known to aggravate wet eczema. It is also an age-old remedy for corns. Apply a propolis cream with a small gauze pad.
Propolis ointment was often recommended for second-degree burns, and healing took place without scarring. Propolis has a stimulating effect and works with the skin’s natural regenerative process.
