There is a thread on Bee Pollen but I feel Propolis needs it's own one as it's equally or even more important. Personally I don't react as well to the Pollen as I do the Propolis. So just because you can't take one doesn't mean you can't benefit from the other.
We need bees for a lot of the products we consume. Bees are responsible for helping to pollenate and transport seeds for many of the essential crops and flowers that eventually are consumed and run up the food chain. Bee keepers remain profitable by selling products that bees naturally make such as the pollen itself that bees sometimes ingest for nutrition, of course everyone's favorite: honey, propolis and lastly royal jelly which some of you may be familiar with.
All of these have profound health properties for humans that are not allergic to bee created substances. As I mentioned above, some people have better results with royal jelly vs bee pollen vs propolis. Pick any 1 of the 3 as there are more benefits than drawbacks for any of them. With the global warming many bee habitats have been disturbed which is leading to problems with the availability of certain crops. But when you purchase bee products from a reputable provider such as "Y.S. Farms" (Discolosure: My Black ass is not being paid by them) you are helping contribute to their survival which in turn they continue working their magic so we can keep common food staples on our dinner tables throughout the year.
Propolis is an amazing resin, a substance that has antiviral, antibiotic and anti fungal properties all in one. If you have strep throat, ecoli poisoning or thrush, propolis will wipe it out in no more than a week, and two at the most with almost NO SIDE EFFECTS if you are not allergic to bee products. There are 3 forms, extract with honey, capsules and extract tincture from alcohol (no you can't get drunk off it). The best form in my opinion is the extract with honey version which I have used to alleviate:
- Hangovers (including prevention of them)
- Cold/Flu
- General fatigue due to sharp weather changes
- Healthy bowel activity (not too much, not too little) and lower levels of flatulence
- Low appetite
Specifically, when in the hospital you will want to consume this as long as there are no medication interactions after checking with the supervising nurse assigned to you. The reason why is because it has a strong killing effect on:
Many of these are obtained while or shortly after in the hospital and can take months to overcome in immunocompromised peoples. But most people who've taken propolis say they feel better in just one week or less sometimes depending on the baseline level of health.
If you aren't impressed yet, well there's more:
