Considered one of nature's miracles, propolis is the resinous substance gathered by bees and used in the beehives to keep their colony healthy. Propolis contains protein, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and flavonoids, and as such it is said to have a wide range of natural healing benefits. Many people believe that due to its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties it may help maintain a healthy immune system and general wellbeing.
