Bee-Rich Pollen Products

Propolis is a dark substance that is collected by bees from leaf buds, twigs, and tree bark. It is used in the beehive to repair holes and cracks, embalm intruders, and to line cells before the cells contain eggs.

Propolis is nothing new. Hippocrates recorded the use of propolis to treat wounds, sores, and ulcers as early as the fourth century B.C. The Roman scholar Pliny extolled the benefits of propolis 400 years later in his writings, explaining how "it extracted all substances embedded in the flesh, reduced swelling, softened hardened areas, soothed pain, and healed sores when it appeared hopeless for them to mend." Propolis use was recorded between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries as a health aid. In the early twentieth century during the Boer War, propolis was mixed with petroleum jelly and used as a wound healer. Flavonoids, an important component of propolis, were identified in the 1950's. Scientists now believe that propolis is an antibiotic and antiviral substance that enhances the effectiveness of the immune system.

Flavonoids are antioxidants. They maintain the integrity of cells by trapping free radicals that otherwise cause damage and hasten the aging process. Flavonoids also bind heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadium to prevent these metals from causing damage to the body. It is believed that the flavonoids contained in propolis should be a regular part of our diet in order to stimulate the immune system against potentially harmful microbes. Flavonoids also help prevent cell damage and improve the absorption of certain nutrients.

Some of the benefits of propolis are that it fights diseases of the oral cavity, along with ear, nose, and throat illnesses. In addition to these benefits, propolis also prevents inflammation of the intestines, speeds cell growth, and improves skin problems and burns. Another benefit of propolis is its effective use against inflammation of the intestines. Propolis has been known to activate the thymus gland, thus stimulating the immune system and can augment antibiotics. Propolis also can be taken as a pain reliever. Propolis has antifungal properties that inhibit infections, allowing bees to live together in close conditions in a beehive.

Propolis contains approximately 55% resins and balsams, 30% beeswax, 10% etheric oils, and 5% pollen. Propolis also contains a variety of flavonoids.

There are numerous benefits that are associated with Siberian Ginseng. One of its benefits is that it acts as a preventative and therapeutic adaptogen, increasing resistance, health, and vitality. Another benefit of Siberian Ginseng is that of an antioxidant. This causes the inactivation of free radicals. A third benefit is that it increases physical endurance under stress. This benefit can be attributed to its antioxidant properties. Siberian Ginseng has also been known to protect against microbal and viral infections.
