Propolis tincture

What is propolis?
Consider bee propolis to be the “glue” that keeps everything together.
Initially, for propolis was thought to provide protection to the hive (e.g. rain, cold winds, snow). But protection is not only purpose of propolis, additionally it helps: reinforce hive structure and stability, minimize disruptive vibrations, prevent diseases and parasites from infecting the hives and mummify small intruders inside the hive.
Propolis is typically a mixture resin, composed of beeswax, saliva, sap and various botanical products in the surrounding area.
Propolis natural composition offers human an array of benefits when incorporated into a regular diet.
How did we collect propolis and make propolis tincture?
1. After we took honey out of hives, we laid propolis meshes in the hives. After one month we took them out of hives and put them into the freezer.
2. In January we decided to make propolis tincture.
3. We took propolis meshes from the freezer.
4. We scraped propolis out of the meshes with a knife.
5. We placed propolis in the freezer and broke it in small pieces.
6. We ground propolis in a coffee grinder.
7. We put the propolis powder in a bottle and added alcohol. We added 300 ml of 98 % ethanol to 100 g of propolis. We shook it well.
8. We stored the bottle in the darkness for about two weeks and shook it occasionally.
9. We filtered the tincture through a paper filter.
10. In a water bath we evaporated some ethanol.
11. We stored the tincture closed in a clean dark bottle.
What are the effects of propolis on humans and in which diseases can it be used?
1. Propolis kills bacteria (Propolis has traditionally been used to kill colds and flu).
2. Propolis lowers blood pressure (If you suffer from hypertension, you may want to consider using raw honey, which contains propolis, as it has been proven to lower blood pressure.)
3. Propolis helps treat bone diseases (Another health benefit of propolis appears to be that it helps to build and maintain healthy bone tissue.)
4. Propolis helps treat allergies (An amazing health benefit of propolis is its ability to calm the symptoms of seasonal allergies.)
5. Propolis boosts prostate cancer cell death (Scientists examined the cancer killing effects of propolis tincture on two common types of prostate cancer. They concluded that propolis tincture markedly improved cell death in prostate cancer cells and suggested the significant role of propolis in chemoprevention of prostate cancer.)
6. Propolis kills colon cancer cells (Scientists found out that it caused the cancer cells to die by necrosis, which means that it interrupted the blood supply to the cell and caused just the local cancer cells to die and NOT healthy, living cells.)
7. Propolis may help treat food poisoning (Scientists found out that propolis inhibited the growth of C. jejuni, Enterobacter faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus, the three bugs that are commonly found in food poisoning cases.)
8. Propolis protects injured teeth (It works against bacteria on teeth.)
9. Heat stress & athletic performance (An active ingredient in propolis known as caffeic acid phenethyl ester, or CAPE, triggers a broad spectrum of biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral.)
10. Propolis is Effective Means Treatment for Warts (Propolis tincture killed a wart in less than two weeks.)
Propolis can affect very strong anti-inflammatory activity in many areas of the body. Inflammation is responsible for diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, Alzheimers, and many more. Much of the recent research indicates that one of the primary health benefits of propolis is its anti-inflammatory effects.
Chances are that people who consume propolis on a regular basis have less inflammation in their bodies and ultimately less disease, leading to healthier, longer lives.
