Propolis Drops - Mouthwash Concentrate Product Information: This refreshing propolis mouthwash concentrate fights bacteria, inhibits their growth, and thus prevents periodontal disease, gum problems, and bad breath. For a mouthwash or gargle, simply dissolve 2-3 drops of the concentrate in water. Propolis – the high-quality protective resin of bees – has important germ-inhibiting and anti-inflammatory properties, especially for oral and dental care. The beneficial effects of propolis are supported by myrrh, sage, and chamomile from certified organic cultivation. In addition, the sage and chamomile extracts also care for and soothe a stressed and problem-prone mouth. Our tip: beecraft propolis drops are also suitable for massaging the gums. The benefits of propolis oral and dental care at a glance: ✓ Strengthens gums and makes them more resilient ✓ Propolis has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties ✓ Prevents periodontal disease, bleeding gums, and bad breath What is propolis? Propolis is produced by bees and used to repair the hive and protect it from intruders. For this purpose, a thin layer of propolis is applied throughout the hive and at the entrance. It also protects against viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Due to the high temperature and humidity and dense population, germs have an easy time in the hive. Propolis inhibits and kills germs. These antibacterial properties are also very valuable for oral care. How is propolis produced? Propolis is collected by special worker bees. They collect the propolis resin from the buds and twigs of certain deciduous trees. The resinous substance thus collected is enriched with pollen, wax, and enzymes. Preserving the bees' natural habitat is important for consistent propolis quality. Using a particularly gentle harvesting process, beecraft is able to harvest up to 100 grams of propolis per year from one hive without disturbing the bees' natural behavior. The beecraft® quality promise of our propolis mouthwash: Since propolis is made from the resins of tree buds and twigs, the quality and composition vary depending on the region and tree population, much like honey. In addition to regional characteristics, secondary plant substances—also known as polyphenols or phytamines—play a key role in assessing the quality of propolis. Using a standardized process, beecraft ensures that its propolis contains more than 30% phytamines (300 mg polyphenols/g propolis). This ensures a consistent composition of propolis from various selected regions, resulting in a high level of diversity and consistent quality. Use and ingredients of the propolis mouthwash.
