Description
 
Propolis is a resin that honey bees gather from trees. They use it to polish and sterilize the inside of the hive, and also to glue hive components together and seal cracks and crevices. Honey bees do not have many genes devoted to the immune response, and they use propolis like an external immune system. It is a powerful antimicrobial, killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Extracts of propolis in alcohol have been used in Europe for centuries. We make no medical claims for our extract, but if we know we have been exposed to a cold or flu, or feel we are coming down with something, we will take a dropperful 4 or 5 times daily and most of the time the next morning, we feel just fine. Historically, people have used propolis extract to treat nail fungus, cold sores, acne lesions, sore throats, and in wound dressings, among other things.

Our extract is pretty powerful stuff, made with pure grain alcohol and our own propolis, cleaned and ground to a fine powder. Comes in an amber glass dropper bottle, one fluid ounce.
