Bee Products
Let’s compare different bee products:
- Honey;
refined, high in calories;
raw and heated honey harmonises the liver, reduces constipation, dries up mucus;
Manuka honey has antibiotic properties;
raw honey is always preferable as most benefits are lost when heated.
- Bee pollen; 10-15g daily
amazing nutritive tonic;
fabulous protein, providing almost all amino acids;
promotes growth, development, endurance, vitality and longevity;
high in B vits including B12;
boosts immune system, protects against radiation, free radicals and oxidative damage;
helps with allergies such as hay fever;
produces oestrogenic effects, helps with menopausal symptoms, vaginal dryness and urinary incontinence..
- Propolis; 500-1000g daily; throat spray for mouth and skin infections.
enhances immune system, protects against bacteria, fungus, viruses and parasites;
has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties;
shows benefits in inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis;
protects against the common cold; upper respiratory, vaginal and gastro intestinal infections;
accelerates healing with skin and dental conditions such as gingivitis and mouth ulcers...
- Royal Jelly; 100-400g daily
similar benefits to bee pollen but more powerful effects with energy and nutrition, and further benefits such as cholesterol reducing, hormone regulating and fertility promoting effects;
also helps with arthritis and has anti- cancer properties especially with leukaemia..
I hope you can find which one is for you but be aware with allergies with bee products; so start with minute amounts, just in case!
