Propolis, a source of health

PROPOLIS  is a resinous substance used by bees to cover and protect the beehive. It is obtained from buds and barks of  some trees. Propolis is rich in flavonoids and essential oils, apart from containing trace elements, vitamins and amino acids. PROPOLIS: HEALTH SOURCE

The word propolis comes from the Greek and means “defence of the city” ( pro meaning “in front of” and polis “city”).

It consists of a complex resin collected from buds and barks of trees by bees and is used to disinfect the beehive cells.

Thanks to its antibiotic action, propolis protects from viruses and bacteria, making the beehive one of the most sterile places known in our planet.

Propolis contains a variety of substances: amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc. Flavonoids stand out among all of them. Raw propolis contains 500 times more flavonoids than oranges, which are recommended for convalescence. Nevertheless, scientific research carried out all over the world shows that the effect of propolis is due to the synergistic effect of its different constituents. Due to its composition and properties it is usually recommended in case of recurrent respiratory infections or in any situation where body defences are weak.
