Propolis: Mother Earth’s Penicillin
      Propolis has been on the planet since the first trees and the first colony of honeybees, now manifested at a date estimated 260 million years ago. Of course, we came along much later, but humanity has used all the medicinal products of our bee helpers for thousands of years as a healing agent both internally and externally.

      From Hippocrates, who used propolis to cure ulcers and shrink tumors (internally and on the skin); from the Egyptians to the Maya; from the Chinese to the Japanese; healers around the world have used propolis as a prime ingredient or in blended formulas, ointments and tinctures. Today it still provides swift and effective healing for many conditions including slow-healing cuts and wounds and herpes simplex virus, types 1 and 2. Propolis also acts as an antioxidant and free-radical scavenger,

      Certain components of propolis appear to be absorbed to circulate in the blood and to behave as a hydrophilic antioxidant that actually saves vitamin C in the body.

      WingTouch Remedies Liquid Propolis is a concentrated natural antibiotic and a powerful protector endowed with 100+ pharmacological properties. These properties are due to the biochemical characteristics found in the 300+ substances which are included in its composition, consisting of 55% resinous compounds and balsams, 30% waxes, 10% etheric oils and 5% bee pollen.

      Among its numerous properties are: vitamins B1, B2, B6, A, C, and E, riboflavin, nicotinic and pantothenic acid. Propolis also contains caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) which has been proven to have antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects.

Propolis has a direct bacteriostatic and mycostatic effect on a variety of bacteria and fungi (e.g. Candida albicans), and also inhibits the adhesion of bacteria to the cell. As part of the Hoshin Protocol, it has been found to cause a breech in the biofilm of the Lyme spirochete thus enabling the immune system to identify and destroy the bacteria.

Propolis documented therapeutic effects:

• Gently stimulates the thymus gland and immune system
• Natural antibiotic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial
• Found to be effective against herpes and influenza virus
• Soothes sore throats, strengthens the gums and tissues
• Blocks specific enzymes in the mouth, thus prohibiting the formation of the prostaglandins which cause bone loss and thus making it helpful for osteopenia and osteoporosis
• Improves phagocyte activity and exerts a protective function of the liver and heart against certain toxic substances
• Research shows it has the same efficacy as corticosteroids have in endotoxin-induced arthritis, without the side effects
