Alcohol-free 20% propolis drops: uses and properties
A 20% propolis extract provides a safe, health-promoting shield for the whole body.
-Gentle protection for the throat and mouth: It does not irritate delicate mucous membranes. It soothes sore throats, hoarseness, mouth ulcers, thrush and gingivitis.
-Alcohol-free immune support: It stimulates the production of antibodies, supporting the activity of T-lymphocytes and NK cells.
-Digestive tract and stomach: Has a protective effect on the stomach, supports the regeneration of the mucous membrane and protects the liver.
-Skin and wound regeneration: Can be applied directly to the skin for frostbite, burns, grazes and acne lesions.
How should 20% alcohol-free propolis drops be used and dosed?
The alcohol-free formula is very convenient to use, as it mixes easily with water without forming a harsh sediment:
Dosage for adults: Take 15–20 drops 2–3 times a day. They can be taken directly under the tongue or dissolved in a small amount of lukewarm water, juice or honey.
Dosage for children (>3 years): Give 10–15 drops 1–2 times a day, preferably mixed with a teaspoon of honey or in a glass of lukewarm infusion.
Gargling and mouthwash: Mix 15–20 drops in half a glass of lukewarm water or sage infusion and gargle 2–3 times a day.
Allergy test: Propolis may cause allergic reactions in 1–6 per cent of the population [cite: 1, 3]. Before first use, apply a drop to the skin of your forearm and monitor the area for 24 hours.
Storage: Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed jar or bottle, out of the reach of young children.
Alcohol-free versus alcohol-based propolis drops
-Alcohol-free formula (propylene glycol): Designed for children, the elderly, drivers and those avoiding alcohol. It has a pleasant taste and is gentle on the mucous membranes.
-Alcohol-based formula (EEP): Contains 75% ethanol. It provides stronger local disinfection but causes a burning sensation and is not suitable for children.
