Buzz on over to the world of bees  and let this ancient remedy glue its way into your health routine!

But first, let’s get to know our little friend, the bee. Did you know that bees have five eyes? That’s right, five eyes to help them navigate their busy lives and collect that sticky propolis. And speaking of stickiness, did you know that bees can fly up to 15 miles per hour with their leg pouches filled with propolis? Talk about a buzzin’ workout!

Now, let’s talk about propolis. This sticky substance is created by bees and used to seal gaps in their hives. But don’t let its humble beginnings fool you, propolis packs a powerful punch when it comes to health benefits. 

Bees add their own secret mix of ingredients into propolis to give it even more health benefits. This mix includes enzymes, beeswax, and other substances that the bees produce themselves. To be honest – scientist are struggling to understand it.

But why is propolis so healthy? Well, it has been shown to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. It has been used to treat wounds, boost the immune system, and even combat the common cold. Plus, propolis is a natural source of vitamins and minerals, making it a buzz-worthy addition to your health routine.

• Here are some suggestions from Daddies:

  1. Take a few drops orally to support immune function and combat colds and flu.

  2. Dilute a few drops in water or and gargle as a mouthwash to support oral health.

  3. Apply topically to wounds to promote healing and reduce inflammation.

  4. Use as a natural alternative to hand sanitizer to kill germs and protect against illness.

  5. Apply to skin irritations, such as rashes or insect bites, to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

  6. Dilute a few drops in a carrier oil and use as a natural, anti-inflammatory muscle rub.

  7. Add a few drops to your moisturizer or facial toner to support healthy, glowing skin. (One of our favorite TBH).

  8. Add a few drops to your shampoo or conditioner to support healthy, vibrant hair.  (Ping Daddie Ville).

So next time you use propolis, just think of those hardworking bees, mixing in their own secret ingredients to bring you this powerful ancient remedy. Talk about a hive of health benefits!
