The propolis tincture is a concentrated extract of propolis, a substance collected by bees from plant resins, mainly from beeches, birches and pines. Propolis is used by bees to seal and disinfect their hive, while for humans it is a natural product with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Propolis tincture is prepared by extracting propolis in ethanol, in order to preserve its active constituents and allow for easy application.
