Propolis, a very necessary ingredient for a healthy life

He propolis helps stimulate and strengthen the immune systemSo it can be a great help in fighting infections and diseases. Thanks to its antibacterial and antiviral properties, it can help prevent and treat bacterial, fungal and viral infections.

Propolis (propolis) is a substance that bees obtain to cover the walls of the beehive and protect it from infections, bacteria, viruses and fungi that can attack it. This layer is located between the wax (outside of the honeycomb) and the inside of the honeycomb.

It consists of more than 250 constituent elements and about 50 active ingredients, it contains 50% resins and balms, 35% beeswax, 10% essential or volatile oils and 5% pollen. Contains amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc. And it has antibiotic, antiviral, healing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and immunostimulating properties, among other things. People who are allergic to honey, pollen or their derivatives, or who are allergic to bees themselves, cannot of course use products that contain this ingredient.

In cosmetics the propolis It can be used by people with combination, oily or acne-prone skin. It is a great antibacterial agent, so it cleanses the pores and leaves them as new. It has healing effects that help acne fade and disappear.

It can also be used by people with psoriasis or dermatitis When an outbreak causes significant wounds or cracks in the skin, it has analgesic properties that soothe the pain or discomfort in the area, it fights infections and is antibacterial, so it protects the wound or crack and its healing and regenerating effects . leave your skin as it was before you developed eczema.

Its use in cosmetics is a revolution because its effects are fascinating, but we can also find it among herbalists for internal use, to combat pharyngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, angina pectoris and numerous respiratory diseases.. This ingredient is amazing!

Almost any product that contains honey, beeswax or propolis is great.

We can enjoy them knowing how good they feel for us. They are fascinating natural ingredients that people have used and reaped their benefits since ancient times. But I can’t finish this post talking about its amazing/fascinating/beautiful benefits without breaking a point in favor of bees. It’s a society I love (also the ants), they are fighters, workers, effective… But the chemicals people use are killing them.

Tell you that bees are the architects of the pollination of thousands of plants and flowers, thanks to their collection of pollen (and loss on the way to the honeycomb) the reproduction of many flora is possible. Without bees, this process would not exist! Have you ever thought that such a small creature, that we hit and hit with anything, is so extremely important? The chemicals we put into our plants end up in the pollen they bring to their hives. It has not yet been scientifically proven what it is, but their defenses collapse, they cannot fight some infections and they die. Every year the number of bees in the world decreases and they are important for the balance of our ecosystems.

What can you do? Stop using chemicals, demand the elimination of chemicals in the fields, eat organic fruits/vegetables, use natural and organic cosmetics! Every day it is proven more: we infect our rivers, our seas, our fields, our bodies with chemicals that are difficult to eliminate. This path and this struggle in favor of the bees has existed for many years (and ecology for the sustainability of the planet), change, fight, demand, walk towards this destiny!
