Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

To prepare the tincture, 20 grams of propolis are crushed and poured into 80 ml of 90% or 70% ethyl alcohol. You can use vodka, but the concentration of ethanol in it does not allow you to completely extract the maximum amount of necessary substances from the product.

After the expiration date, the tincture is filtered through several layers of gauze. This recipe is used for all diseases that are treated with bee glue.

Propolis is of great importance for bees, as it provides cleanliness, sterility and a "healthy atmosphere" in the hive. It protects the bee house from harmful external influences and mercilessly destroys various types of viruses, bacteria and even some of the fungi. Similarly, propolis can act on the human body.

Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees to decontaminate combs, seal the hive, and isolate objects that may have accidentally entered it. It can have different colors, mainly the shade depends on which plant the resin was extracted from by insects for its production. Brown, gray, brown, reddish and even greenish propolis is equally useful and suitable for making tinctures. About what kind of useful properties this substance has, it was described in. Propolis tincture on alcohol, in principle, has the same properties. The main one is a powerful bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect, which gives the agent the ability to destroy pathogens.

In this regard, it is usually recommended to use products with a concentration of 15 percent.
To prepare such a tincture, place 15 grams of propolis in the refrigerator. When it hardens well, remove and then grind into pieces no more than 4 millimeters.
