Propolis for herpes

Herpes is very uncomfortable for those affected. Therefore, herpes is very widespread, because 90% of people carry herpes viruses. Herpes is commonly thought of as sores on the lips, but herpes viruses can cause a variety of diseases, including chickenpox and glandular fever.

Herpes is an infectious disease caused by 2 viruses: Herpes simplex viruses HSV-1 and HSV-2. The HSV-1 virus is usually responsible for the widely known cold sores and the HSV-2 virus causes genital herpes. In principle, however, both viruses can occur anywhere on the body. In addition, herpes is extremely stubborn: anyone who has once contracted herpes viruses will not get rid of them. Certain, extremely individual triggers, as well as weakened body defenses, usually cause repeated outbreaks and the associated typical complaints on the lips or in the genital area.

Most patients feel immediately when a herpes outbreak is imminent. Herpes begins with a feeling of tension, combined with itching at the location of the outbreak. After a short time, vesicles begin to form on the affected area. After a while, these vesicles burst and become encrusted. Herpes can be quite painful, especially in the genital area, but cold sores can also be very uncomfortable to painful, especially since it looks ugly.

So the virus stays in the body for a lifetime, but affected patients can still keep the virus in check.

How can you use propolis against herpes?

The good news for everyone with herpes: Propolis is an extremely effective remedy for herpes. This has been proven by numerous studies that have examined the effects of propolis on both types of herpes virus. Propolis brought the herpes viruses to subside faster than other, conventionally used active ingredients.

Bees have always used propolis to protect themselves from bacteria, viruses, germs and, of course, fungi. Due to its many ingredients, propolis has a very broad spectrum of activity and is therefore used in both naturopathy and human medicine. Propolis is said to have antibacterial, fungicidal, cell protecting, antiviral and wound healing properties.

Propolis is a completely natural product, the different forms of action of which have been confirmed in numerous studies.

All these properties of propolis can therefore also be used very well for herpes. Since herpes is announced by a feeling of tension and itching, as described above, propolis can be used in the early stages of an outbreak. Due to its germicidal properties, propolis can almost «nip in the bud» an outbreak.

How do you use propolis for herpes:

Propolis is available in different dosage forms. There is a special propolis lipstick for the lips, various creams or the particularly strong propolis balm for the skin.

If there has already been an outbreak, it is advisable to apply a propolis tincture. We recommend our propolis tincture with 40% propolis.

Propolis against herpes - this is how it works:

Propolis tincture and propolis balm:
Apply the propolis tincture 2-3 times a day directly to the affected areas of the skin and let it soak in and dry. Caution: Propolis is very stubborn, i.e. once it comes on clothing, it will be difficult to remove the propolis again. So please be careful when applying. But conversely, you can be sure that propolis will just as persistently stay in place and fight the herpes viruses.

You can also use propolis from the inside as a support. To do this, dissolve 5 drops of propolis tincture in a glass of water and drink (once a day).

What is propolis made of?

Propolis consists of over 250 identified ingredients. Even if you now know the ingredients very well, propolis is a mystery, because only natural propolis has a balance that no industrially manufactured product can have. The busy bees produce this “miracle cure” all by themselves in a natural process. Propolis consists of approx. 50% resin and approx. 25% essential oils, pollen, minerals and trace elements, as well as flavones and acids.

The main ingredients are:

  • Wax components

  • Iron, chromium, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, magnesium, silicon
  • Enzymes

Anyone who is allergic to bee stings or bee products should refrain from using propolis - both externally and internally through ingestion or addition to food. How to test if you are allergic to propolis: Apply the product to the inside of an arm. If a reaction occurs in the next few hours, you should not use any propolis products.

Be careful when buying propolis
In general, if you want to achieve the best effect, you should only buy high-quality propolis with the highest possible propolis content. In the case of inferior goods, the effect often leaves a lot to be desired. Do not save in the wrong place under any circumstances - a high-quality product cannot be found in the supermarket for a few euros. In addition, one should make sure that propolis is not contaminated.
