I hope my comment will help anyone that has a breakout of shingles or fever blisters, As soon as you see a red rash, blister, or eye drainage, apply the propolis. Take l lysine immediately to stop a shingles breakout. You can put propolis in the eyes to stop eye damage from shingles.
So sorry I didn’t notice your comment. This recipe is meant for raw propolis and extracting its healing properties into the oil,. The propolis tincture is already in its final prepared form. It has been extracted into an alcohol. It is taken orally as this recipe is meant for topical use. If you’re able to find the raw propolis this is definitely worth making. Hope this helps , sorry for the tardy response. Thanks for watching and sharing.
Hi I wanted to report back and say I made the propolis salve and we love it. I also got bee pollen and my husband takes that as well. He thinks it makes him have more energy. So, thanks very much for teaching us about these things!
Wow. That’s so awesome, I’m so glad the propolis helped. It’s pretty amazing stuff. I’m always curious and open to natural remedies. The bee pollen sounds interesting. I’ll have to look into that too. Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate the feedback!
Just to reply to your bee pollen comment. I also have been taking bee pollen for about 6months now and it ABSOLUTELY BOOSTS my energy levels. Great to hear from someone else too.
I made this and applied it to a fever blister (cold sore) on my lip. It has really helped it heal quickly - faster than aciclovir (prescription medicine for fever blisters/cold sores) Thank you
The amount of propolis a hive produces will also depend on the breed of bee the beekeeper uses in their operations. The most used breed in the US are Italians. They produce very little propolis while the second most kept breed , Carniolans produce a lot more propolis
That’s very interesting to know. Thanks for sharing this and thanks for watching. Nature is amazing and the propolis really does have great healing powers.
Suzy I have been thinking about you and hoping all is well, I miss your videos! This is so wonderful that you've shared this. I have been searching high and low for something to help heal hard to heal wounds for my husband. This is exciting news for me and I thank you so much. you've demonstrated it very well, I am going to get right on this.:) after I secure the ingredients.
Thank you. I took a little break. I really hope this works for your husband. I’ve had fantastic results using it. I really wish the same for you. As always, I appreciate your support. 🙏
Hi there. I have used that method with other herbs but I’ve never tried it with the propolis. I’m guessing the resin and beeswax may not dissolve at room temperature to produce a salve. Thanks for watching.
WOW this is what I have been looking for a long time. I am a bee keeper an I have been wanting to make this but could find out how . Ya I just found your video an I am going to go look at all your videos but this is the main one I was wanting. Thank you , Thank you . Is all of your batches you have make around the same thickness an do you think it would work better by maybe adding a little bit of bees wax to it to thicken it up a little more or not??. THANKS
I really appreciate bee keepers. Yes, you’re absolutely right. You can a little more wax to thicken it. Whether runny or thick the propolis is amazing at healing. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Hello Suzy a question. Did you ever get a chance to Go back an make another batch of the propolis salve by reusing the propolis you started with to see if it was still as good ?? . I have been using your recipe an I love it . Thanks
So glad you like this. I think it’s has amazing healing properties. I have tried reusing the propolis. The end result was a runny and light coloured salve. By observation only, it seems there was less propolis infused into the oil. I did use it by adding fresh propolis and repeating the infusion process. This isn’t scientific, just my observation. Hope this helps.
Thank you But you say the temperature should not exceed 133 degrees. But some studies say that it does not exceed 60 degrees in a water bath. Where did you get this information? 133 degrees, thank you
I use many sources like the beekeepers who supply my raw propolis. My beeswax’s alchemy recipe book. Mountain rose herbs website where I buy ingredients, their TH-cam tutorials. Herbal academy is also great source of information and many others. The general rule is to gently warm the herbs without destroying their properties. I believe no more that 140 degrees Fahrenheit which is about 60 degrees Celsius for about 3 hours. I used 122 degrees for 4 hours. It worked great and I could see the change in colour and consistency. I did try a second batch and reused the propolis with new oil. I only managed to extract a bit more , judging by the colour and fluidity of the second batch. The real test was applying it to a small wound and it healed beautifully. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@suzyrebelo Yes . I mean, does 122 degrees not destroy a percentage of the properties of propolis scientifically and in a laboratory experiment? Does this Bizwax website contain scientific articles on these topics? Thank you
Hi there. The ratio is 1 oz propolis to 8 oz oil. 1/2 oz vodka The salve is very soft . Its firmness depends on how much wax is in your raw propolis. My propolis was soft enough to use in a pump that is appropriate for lotions. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
@ValencerShand hi there. No I didn’t get condensation. Make sure the temperature isn’t too high. I used the lid to prevent any water getting into the propolis. You can infuse it longer if you think it needs to release more of the propolis. You can tell if the colour has deepened. I would recommend you remove it from the heat and let the jar cool. It should be creamy when set. Then , if it’s not infused enough , warm it up again for another hour or so. Remove cool and it should be ready to use. Hope this helps.
@ did you use raw propolis with bits of bees in it? Or did you freeze it, blend it and separate those parts? Or did the bee keeper do that already for you? Thanks
i've been breaking open a pill containing a 5 to 1 propolis extract and then mixing it with olive oil, then applying to face and washing off after an hour. Seems to be improving skin and illiminating my seb dermatitis due to its antifungal properties I'm sure.
Hi there. No, this isn’t beneficial for arthritis. Try the cayenne pepper salve , I have another video on that. This might help you. Stay tuned, I’m working on another video using turmeric which is helpful for inflammation and joint arthritic pain. Thanks for watching.
Propolis is amazing stuff. Try and get it from local bee keepers, my friend tried to buy some in downtown Toronto health store and the price was 10 times more. Thanks for watching.
It should last a year. I made some over a year ago but used it all up. I normally keep some to see what happens to it over time, like 1 year. However, in the video, the ready made salve i refer to in the jar is from June 2022 , and it's still working perfectly. Those bees, you gotta love them. thanks for watching!
Hi there. If you have liquid propolis it’s probably a tincture. It will have its own specific use and application method. You would need the raw propolis to infuse it into your carrier oil and then it turns into a thick cream which I’m calling a salve. You can make it thicker and firmer by adding a bit of beeswax. You can use coconut oil as your carrier oil. It may even give your propolis salve more body and it has a long shelf life too. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this great video! I’ve been trying to find something like this to buy, but have not had any luck at that. How much vodka do you use in the propolis when it is going to sit and soak for 24 hours?
Hi there. I just use 1/2 oz of vodka. I’ve made this for everyone in the family. It’s wonderful to have on hand and really has great healing power. Hope you find this as useful as I do. Thanks for watching
Hi there. I looked up all the honey yards in my area. I called around to ask if they carried raw propolis. Not all do. It’s a close knit community so I asked for referrals and everyone was very helpful. The larger honey houses that sell equipment usually have it. Also, they will let you know when it’s in season. That is how I found my source and then ordered it online. Some health food stores sell it but it’s very expensive. If you do have to buy from an unfamiliar source then look at the reviews. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I wouldn’t eat this as it’s composed of wax and resins etc.. this is a topical salve to heal skin scrapes , cuts , minor infections and wounds etc.,, hopes this helps and thanks for watching.
Hi there. I’ve only made soap a few times but I think you could use the infused propolis oil in your soap recipe. I would do more investigating as there will be natural bees wax mixed in the propolis. Not sure if it would change the soaps lathering ability. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. Thanks for watching.
@@suzyrebelo Are you sure? I just looked up this product & it looks like a tincture with water instead of alcohol. So basically a tea. See: Raw Pot Propolis Extract . I found this recommended by another YT channel
Hi. I looked it up .I have no idea how they extract it using water. I’m using raw propolis, it’s a sticky resin with bits of bees wax. This is what thickens the oil into a salve. If it can be dissolved / extracted using water, then I’m not sure how it’s preserved. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. I’m not an expert on it . I’ll have to do more research
Hi there. Yes, you can use any carrier oil like coconut or olive oil etc. for infusions. I try to match the oil to its application. For healing salves I like to use sunflower oil because it has natural vitamin e. It has a long shelf life and it absorbs well. These properties are a good addition for healing. I use coconut oil for skin care products because it’s very moisturizing. Hope this helps and thanks for watching
Hello. The calendula flowers are by weight. The oil is by volume approximately 8/10 oz and vodka 1/2 oz or shot, so it doesn’t have to be exact, just in the ball park. Thanks for watching.
Wow. That’s the thing about raw propolis , the colour depends on the bees and what they are collecting in that area. I’ve bought the propolis from different bee keepers and the colour always varies. Dark or light it’s great at healing the skin. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with it.
Hi there. The propolis isn’t sticky once it’s strained. All the sticky resins and wax are separated from the oil and left behind once your strain it. The salve is a thick emulsified oil that goes on smooth and absorbed into the skin. It’s a bit loose ,so if applying it to a painful cut or abrasion…I add a bit to some gauze and lay the gauze onto the cut keeping the propolis in contact with the area you want to heal. It really has some amazing healing powers. Thanks for watching.
@@suzyrebelo thanks for replying. I made balms with propolis extract, bee pollen. It works good for keratosis pilaris and magic for eczema. Never tried extracting raw propolis which I’m trying to find.
Hello yes, you can use any carrier oil like coconut oil .When choosing a carrier oil , take into consideration its properties like shelf life, scent, absorption rate etc.., plus additional benefits the oil offers for its intended use. Ie if you were infusing herbs for skin care then you want it to be moisturizing like coconut oil. I like using sunflower oil for topical medicinal salves ,like propolis, because it has a long shelf life , natural vitamin e which is healing , and it absorbs quickly into the skin or wound. Hope this helps.
Hello. I’ve never used glycerin to infuse herbs. Unfortunately. I don’t know if this method offers any benefit to glycerin infusions. Thanks for watching.
Red propolis is not specific to a particular country. If bees has access to the right type of resin from trees (cherry and almond trees has resin that is easier to harvest during July and August when the resin is nice and soft) then they can make no matter what country. Here in the U.K I harvest lot of red propolis just from scraping frames, crown boards and brood boxes without using any propolis trap.
It smells a bit like beeswax mixed with honey. It’s very mild though. This is amazing on cuts and scraps etc. I think you’ll be surprised how well it heals. Thanks for watching.
Hi there. You can add a bit of wax to make it thicker. You can use coconut oil but consider its properties and how it compliments the salve.
