Bees manufacture propolis from plant resins to keep their hives free of harmful bacteria and it has been hailed as a natural product with vast potential for human health. Its antiseptic qualities have been known since the Egyptians but science is increasingly finding that it can be used in treating a wide range of conditions:
- Alleviate joint and muscular pain, arthritis and rheumatism
- Treat skin complaints from eczema to psoriasis
- Relieve asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory problems
- Heal wounds and burns
- Treat gastro-intestinal problems and blood disorders
- Stimulate the immune system
More importantly, propolis is a powerful antibacterial capable of destroying strains that are resistant to conventional antibiotics. It is the natural antibiotic of the future.
James Fearnley is an internationally recognised expert on propolis, and in this pioneering work explains how to use it as part of everyday care, with advice on preparation and dosages. |
