Propolis - A major breakthrough
in the quest for an all-natural
product has been announced. Known
as propolis, this newly
rediscovered beehive product was
known to ancients but not until
recently has it been used by
modern scientists in the healing
professions. It is gathered by
the bees from the leaf buds or
bark of trees. So far 17 chemical
substances in propolis have been
described, some of which are:
cinnamic acid, vanillin and an
aromatic unsaturated acid
characterized by antibacterial
effects on certain gram-positive
and gram-negative micro
organisms.
Bee Pollen -
Devotees have voiced grandiose
claims for this abundant natural
food and call it a promoter of
youth, an energizer, a builder of
disease resistance. Studies
conducted at Geneva's Bonny
Laboratories have shown this
remarkable food provides
virtually every nutritive element
essential to life.
