What is propolis
Propolis is a resinous substance collected by honeybees from tree buds, bark and other botanical sources. Bees use it to seal and protect their hive – a kind of natural putty that lines the inner walls and entrance of their home.
The name "propolis" comes from the Greek pro (before) and polis (city), meaning "before the city" – because bees apply it at the entrance of their hive to protect it. Propolis has been known in beekeeping and the herbal tradition since antiquity. Its composition is complex and contains resins, waxes, essential oils and pollen, with proportions varying depending on the local flora and season.
The composition of propolis depends on the regional flora and the time of collection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What exactly is propolis?
Propolis is a resinous substance that honeybees collect from tree buds and bark. They use it to seal and protect their hive. Its composition is complex and contains resins, waxes, essential oils and pollen.
What is the T.M. method?
T.M. stands for "Tinctura Madre" (Mother Tincture) – a traditional extraction method from phytotherapy in which the raw material is macerated in a hydroalcoholic solution. It is one of the oldest and most established extraction methods in the European herbal tradition.
Why 70% alcohol?
Propolis is a resinous substance that does not dissolve easily in water. Highly concentrated alcohol is needed to dissolve the resins and effectively extract the substances from raw propolis. 70% vol. is the traditional concentration for propolis tinctures.
Where does the name "propolis" come from?
The name comes from the Greek pro (before) and polis (city). Bees apply propolis at the entrance of their hive – literally "before the city of bees".
What is the difference from alcohol-free propolis?
The propolis tincture uses alcohol as a solvent (70% vol.), while the alcohol-free version uses glycerin. The extraction method is different, and the alcohol-free version is suitable for those who prefer to avoid alcohol.
Can I use the tincture daily?
Yes, the propolis tincture is suitable for daily use. It is recommended to follow the indicated dosage (5-10 drops, once or twice daily) and always dilute in water.
How long does a bottle last?
It depends on dosage. With regular use of 10 drops per day, the 30 ml format lasts about 4-6 weeks. The 100 ml format lasts several months.
How should I store the tincture?
Away from light and heat sources. Refrigeration is not necessary. The high alcohol content contributes to the product's long shelf life.
