Description
Propolis or bee resin is an ancient natural product for soothing wounds and can also be taken orally. Bees obtain propolis from buds and barks of various trees. They use this precious resin to protect themselves from bacteria, fungi and viruses, sealing small cracks and crevices in the floor. Our bee resin comes from natural honeycomb and was gently prepared to preserve as many ingredients as possible. Here we rely on a higher than average propolis content to develop the best effect.
HOW DOES PROPOLIS WORK?
Propolis is so interesting for research because it contains over 300 natural ingredients. The focus here is primarily on secondary plant substances such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds. They are said to have antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. (Source: Link) The possible immunomodulating effect is also particularly exciting: this means that propolis not only “boosts” the body’s own defense processes, but could also support and regulate them depending on the situation.
It is precisely this interaction that makes propolis a special natural substance. It is not only the pure propolis content that is important for quality, but also how carefully it has been extracted and processed and how broadly the natural spectrum of its ingredients has been preserved.
What does research say about certain applications of propolis?
As beekeepers and medical laymen, we are not allowed to make any health-related statements about our product. For this reason, we cite examples from medical research:
Wounds
Propolis has long been studied in connection with minor skin injuries and wound healing. Studies indicate that propolis can have a beneficial effect on inflammatory processes and support skin regeneration. In a clinical study, propolis was also tested on poorly healing wounds on the feet of people with diabetes: The external application was well tolerated and associated with improved wound healing.

Cold sores
Clinical comparative studies are available on cold sores, with propolis extracts showing favorable effects on the course of cold sores: The unpleasant feeling of tightness can be reduced and the time until the skin is smooth and regenerated again can be significantly shortened. However, these results relate to specific preparations that were examined and cannot be automatically transferred to every propolis product. (Source: Link)
Mouth and throat
Propolis is also being scientifically investigated for the mouth and throat. Studies show that propolis-based mouthwashes can reduce plaque and soothe irritated gums. Propolis is therefore particularly interesting as a natural support for stressed mucous membranes or a raw feeling in the throat because it can be applied locally. (Sources: Link)
Warts
Propolis has also been scientifically investigated for warts. Of particular interest here is the possible immunomodulating effect: this means that propolis could support the body’s own defense processes by regulating them when taken orally. In a randomized study, common warts disappeared in 73% of cases and flat warts in 75% of cases. This makes propolis an exciting natural substance in research, especially for stubborn skin lesions – even if the data available to date is still limited. (Source: (Link)
Notes
Propolis from the hive is considered a dietary supplement in Austria. The maximum recommended daily intake is 3 x 20 drops. For example, if the drops are taken as a course of treatment over several weeks in winter, our personal experience is that 5-10 drops daily are also sufficient.
Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet. Store out of reach of children. Propolis drops contain alcohol and are not recommended for pregnant women.
We always have the exact propolis content analyzed in the laboratory: As propolis is a natural product and bees like to process it with wax, there are usually significant deviations between the recipe and the actual propolis content in the essence.
