PROPOLIS TINCTURE

Propolis is one of nature’s miracles, rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, amino-acids, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc. Propolis is a sticky, resin like material consisting of 50-55% resin and balsam, 30% wax and 10% pollen.

Propolis is collected by bees from the leaf buds on the bark of some common trees (poplars, chestnuts...) Bees use their own enzymes to convert it into pollen. Bees utilize this sticky material as a protection against microorganisms and to patch holes or cracks in their beehives - one of nature’s most sterile environments.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF PROOLIS?
When taken regularly, it actually creates an amazing natural antibiotic that could be a cure all for most diseases.

As food supplements, propolis is an excellent aid against bacterial infections. Researches have proven the positive results of propolis when used to cure inflammations of the mouth’s and throat’s mucus membranes, to reduce coughs, tonsillitis, and to stimulate the immune system.

Soviet research has found propolis to stimulate phagocytosis, a process in which white blood cells destroy bacteria.

IN SUMMARY, PROPOLIS:

1. Acts as a natural antibiotic
2. Helps clear ulcer scars
3. Helps in fighting flu, colds, coughs, and tonsillitis
4. Gives athletes more energy and staying power
5. Can be used externally to heal bruises and blemishes
6. Contains 22 amino-acids, B complex vitamins as well as vitamins C, E and beta carotene

As a supplement, propolis is available in tablets and extracted liquid forms, and works better when associated with Vitamin C, Zinc, Echinacea and Golden Seal.

ANCIENT HEALER
While propolis is just now enjoying a rediscovery; its usefulness can be traced back to the time of Hippocrates, who used it to heal sores and ulcers, internally and externally. Through the ages historical documents record its use. Culpepper's Complete Herbal refers to ointments of Propolis for inflammation and fever. In WWII, it was used by the Soviet Union to treat battle wounds. Propolis is an excellent natural antibiotic and immune system booster.

NATURE'S PENICILINE
Synthetic antibiotics carry with them side effects - propolis, a natural antibiotic, has no such side effects. Propolis has also been shown to fight bacterial strains that have become resistant to synthetic antibiotics.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS:

"My name is Alonzo and I want to share my miracle with people that have never tried the product Bee Propolis Tincture, that you have done yourself an injustice. Here's my story:

I have been a bee pollen advocate / user for quite a few years, and know first hand of its miraculous medicinal qualities. In the city of my home town, the store where I get my vitamins and supplements, close it doors. I was left without a source for my bee pollen products. Almost in a panic, no worries I said to myself, I got to my trusted computer and began a search for bee pollen. I am a denture wearer and frequently suffer from painful canker sores which last from days sometimes to a week. During these painful days I cannot eat, inflammation becomes noticeable, and at times fever sets in. This is a time of distress and sheer agony for me; I apply the tincture onto a Q-tip swab and apply it directly to the affected area. To my surprise, the next morning it was as though I never had the problem at all. Not only was there no pain, but no swelling as well. I applied it again as a safety precaution and by the next day there was no sign of that canker at all."

"Thanks for enclosing Alonzo's testimononial. I had the same results on a fever blister on my lip. Stopped it dead in its tracks! I wanted to share this with you, but I didn't want to seem "crazy". I had a visit from my brother a few months ago who suffers from allergies. When he was here, he had a dry cough and a sore throat. I shared my propolis tincture with him. He was relieved for days. I sent him a bottle down to Fla. and he is getting relief. Also, this order of propolis is going to a friend who has chronic throat irritation. I hope that it helps him. When my son was very young he suffered from asthma related coughing spasms. Nothing would help. I did some research and tried bee propolis and it helped stop it. I had told my Dr. and he was very supportive",  Lillian Farmer.

TREAT FEVER BLISTERS AND CANKER SORES WITH NATURES PENICILLIN
The natural healing of properties of propolis have been used for centuries by such cultures as the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans who were well acquainted with the medicinal values of propolis, but it was only recently that scientists began to rediscover the beneficial properties of propolis for mankind.  Propolis' medicinal benefits have been acclaimed by doctors in Europe and Russia recently.  Numerous studies have shown propolis effective in alleviating colds, stress, pharyngitis, and other problems.  Hippocrates used propolis as a salve to heal canker sores and wounds and studies have shown propolis to be effective as a sunscreen.

We use our propolis tincture to treat canker sores and fever blisters by first drying the area where the sore is and putting a drop or two of propolis tincture on the sore.  The propolis provides a numbing effect and the sore is healed within a day or two.
