What is Propolis?

Propolis is a special bee product made when bees collect natural substances from tree buds and the resinous parts of plants, and process them in the hive with their enzymes. For the hive, it can be seen as a “natural protection and care substance”. People usually choose propolis to support their daily routine, seasonal transitions, and general well-being.

What does propolis contain?

The composition of propolis can vary depending on the plant source the bees collect from (poplar, pine, chestnut, etc.), the season, and the region. However, in general, propolis naturally contains the following groups of compounds:

• Phenolic compounds (frequently examined in research)
• Flavonoids (often associated with antioxidant potential)
• Aromatic acids and esters
• Plant resins and natural fractions similar to beeswax
• Trace amounts of vitamins/minerals and various natural volatile compounds

For this reason, the taste and aroma of propolis are usually intense, resin-like, and aromatic.

What is Propolis used for?

Propolis is not a medicine. Still, people most commonly prefer propolis in daily life for:

• Routine support during seasonal transitions
• Throat comfort and daily support during busy periods
• Oral care (e.g., diluted appropriately as part of a gargling routine)
• Skincare routines (spot application / appropriately diluted)

You may see propolis discussed in research especially under headings like antioxidant potential and, in some studies, microbial activity. However, personal use should not include medical promises such as “it treats a disease / it definitely cures”.

How to use it? (Practical ways)

Because propolis can taste intense, most people prefer to consume it by “mixing”. The following methods are common:

1) Dropping into water or a beverage

You can add it to warm water, herbal tea, milk, or fruit juice. In very hot drinks (boiling), the aroma may feel more pronounced; lukewarm is generally preferred.

2) Mixing with honey

Dropping it into a spoon of honey and mixing is one of the most popular ways to soften the taste.

3) Dropping onto sugar (classic method)

Dropping it onto a sugar cube and consuming it is a traditional method. It is practical for those who want to balance the taste.

4) For oral care routines (diluted)

Some people prefer propolis for oral care. In this use, dilution is typically done. (Since there may be irritation risk depending on the product form, it is important to follow the instructions on the label.)

How much should I use? The number of drops and frequency may vary depending on the product content. The safest approach is to follow the label recommendation and, if it’s your first time, start with a small amount.

Who should be careful?

• Those with allergies to bee products (honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis) should be cautious.
• Those with asthma/allergic predisposition may have a sensitivity risk.
• Pregnant people, breastfeeding individuals, and children should consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Those who use medication regularly (especially blood thinners, etc.) should use it after consultation.

Storage Advice

Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use.
