What is Propolis Tincture?

Besides honey and bee pollen, bees also make a substance called propolis. Bees make propolis by mixing their own saliva and beeswax with the sap of coniferous trees. This creates the sticky substance we call propolis and is used by bees to coat the hive inside and out. Very clever, because propolis is full of antioxidants and helps protect the hive against harmful external influences. And that's exactly what propolis can mean for people too: propolis promotes the immune system and the body's restorative capacity.
