Propolis is a substance that comes from resins collected by the bees in the shoots of some trees. Its components belong to the class of flavonoids . It is because of these substances that propolis has its main properties: bactericide, bacteriostatic, anti-inflammatory, cicatrizant and anaesthetic. Honey with Propolis (honey with 3% propolis) is recommended in cases of breathing problems, mouth ulcers and skin or mucous membrane injuries.
