10% Propolis extract in a natural Beeswax and Lanolin Ointment base - rich traditional balm recommended for cracked dry skin and when protective layer is needed.
Propolis is the adhesive resinous compound produced by honeybees (Apis mellifera). The ethanol extract (tincture) of propolis is a rich source of antioxidants, flavonoids and phenolic compounds to reduce free radical damage to body cells and support immune system health.
Traditional Use: People have used propolis as a medicine since the year 300 BC. Ancient Egyptians used propolis for embalming, and some doctors used it during World War II to help with wound healing.
A credible 2019 review suggests that propolis extract may have the following properties:
- antibacterial
- antifungal
- antiviral
- antiprotozoal, which means that it works against parasitic illnesses, such as giardiasis
- anti-inflammatory
- antioxidant
We recommend using the cream generally as a natural moisturiser and vitamins packed, skin clearing rejuvenator, or locally, to areas of mild infections, small cuts or to stimulate healing.
Directions:
Before using propolis, it is best to perform patch test to make sure there is no allergic reaction to it.
Apply the ointment over areas of very dry, cracked skin, to seal the moisture and protect the area from the elements while the natural healing compounds clear the pathogens and promote the healing process. Apply three times a day and following bathing / showering. If used for ringworms or other fcommon fungal problems, keep using for 10 days after clearance. Seek medical help if the condition does not improve.
