Propolis for vitality
The bees' putty resin plays a major role in the hive for the preservation of the bee colony. Propolis serves not only as a building material for the hive, but also to keep all diseases, viruses and bacteria outside the hive. We can incorporate this bee product and its properties into our everyday lives.
Already in ancient Egypt it played an important role in mummification and in ancient Greece for health and as a remedy against diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine, propolis is highly valued and is used in the treatment of various diseases. The dosage form of propolis varies, so you have the option of deciding for yourself what you prefer to use.
At bedrop you can choose between propolis capsules, propolis mouth spray (alcohol-free), propolis tinctures (with and without alcohol) and the manuka propolis anise spray.
Propolis is increasingly used to support the body and vitality, especially in the fall and winter. Simply incorporate the propolis capsules into your daily routine and support your body daily as a dietary supplement. Bedrop propolis tinctures are ideal for mixing with juice, tea or still water.
In addition to various colds, the cold seasons often favor dry skin and dermatitis such as neurodermatitis, eczema or psoriasis. Propolis can be used to support cosmetics and skin treatment (e.g. wounds, pimples, acne). Propolis tinctures are ideal for adding to creams or ointments to create a rich and moisturizing propolis cream or ointment that can be applied to the affected areas.
Although health and vitality play an important role all year round, it is usually in winter that we turn to all kinds of remedies that can help with ailments that have already broken out. This is usually the wrong approach. The body should be strengthened preventively and in the long term. This can be achieved with a balanced diet, plenty of exercise and essential vitamins and minerals in the form of dietary supplements.
The composition of propolis:
- Resins
- wax
- pollen
- Essential oils
- vitamins

Propolis contains essential ingredients such as the vitamin groups A, B and E and is rich in flavonoids, which can help fight diseases. Propolis should be included in the daily routine after breakfast in winter, whether as propolis capsules, propolis spray or propolis tincture, the form of administration is subjective and can be chosen according to personal preference.
