ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Propolis is a resin produced by bees and is found in their hives. It is one of nature’s most effective antimicrobial and antibacterial substances. Its healing properties are numerous and seem to have activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. When rubbed onto the skin, bee propolis can help to soothe inflammations and reduce pain in affected areas. Propolis has been used by many civilizations throughout our history, back to as early as 350 B.C. The ancient Assyrians and Greeks used Propolis for healing wounds and treating abscesses and tumours. The Egyptians have also used it for mummification.
