Propolis ointments. Put the required amount of propolis in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Then take it out and grate it on a fine grater. Then put the propolis in an enamel bowl in a water bath and wait until the propolis becomes viscous. Add butter to it to get the desired concentration of propolis (depending on your needs) and keep it for no more than 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Strain the still hot mass through cheesecloth (1-2 layers) and pour into a bowl. Store the ointment in the refrigerator.
Propolis suppositories. Take cocoa butter or butter, as well as 10% alcohol tincture of propolis. Mix the oil with the tincture in a ratio of 4 to 1.
