May I ask what you use it for and how beneficial it is for you?
I have osteoarthritis from sports injuries as a teenager. So very sore knees, hips and ankles. (Have had both hips replaced since 2014). Because of the anti-inflammatory properties, it helps keep me off the NSAIDS that are so bad to take on a continuous basis (I also use bee sting therapy for the pain).
My husband started taking it a few years ago when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure and the Dr put him on medicine. He's now off that completely and his blood pressure is 126/80.
Neither of us get the full blown colds or flu anymore as we take it continuously so it is always in our system. I also have beeswax and propolis in a candle warmer bowl that sits next to my computer so the compounds are gently heated and vaporized into the air. Smells great and works well if you feel a tingle of a cold, just sit with that under your nose for a bit and breath deeply.
I am also using the propolis with honey in my conditioner, which does wonders for my hair.
My father was using high doses of propolis prior to starting his proton therapy for prostate cancer and the markers were coming down dramatically on just the propolis alone.
A lady at church is giving propolis and pollen to her 12 yr old dog that has been diagnosed with cancer. She is still around months later, when the vet said she wouldn't last too much longer after the diagnosis.
I think those are all my personal stories of propolis, but there are other instances out there as well. I think most people can benefit from taking a small dose a day to help prevent some of these problems that creep up on us as we age.
My preference for most of my propolis is in capsule form. The propolis has been processed with an alcohol solvent and then the liquid allowed to evaporated so it is a powder. I don't care for the taste of the liquid alcohol tincture, although I do have the one made with a non-alcoholic solvent and will sometimes mix that with honey.
