With so many of my friends suffering from Covid and the Flu we decided to put together a recovery pack containing natural hive substances that have been used for centuries and helped our families and friends get over Covid.

We have included WA bee pollen, Propolis, Garlic Turmeric and Ginger Infused honey and a natural eucalyptus chest Rub.

Propolis tincture

What is propolis?

 It is powerful stuff, seriously powerful... the most antimicrobial  substance found on earth!

 It is collected by the bees from the sap and resins of plants and transformed by the bees into a sticky substance they use to seal their hive with. This is part of the magic that makes the inside of a beehive the most hygienic place on earth. 

Thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations used propolis for its medicinal properties. Greeks used it to treat abscesses. Assyrians put it on wounds and tumors to fight infection and help the healing process. Egyptians used it to embalm mummies.

The composition of propolis can vary depending on the location of the bees and what trees and flowers they have access to. Some mainstream brands buy in propolis from China, so it is best to know a small scale maker that is confident that the bees are foraging in a clean environment. 

Researchers have identified more than 300 compounds in propolis. The majority of these compounds are forms of polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that fight disease and damage in the body. It could be used as an antidepressant, assist antibiotics and to help boost your immune system. Studies have shown that propolis has antiviral, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer and anti-inflammation effects. 

Take 3 drops under your tounge or in a small amount of water if you prefer.

EMBODYBEE all natural imitation on 'Vicks Vaporub'. Simple, yet effective for cold and flu to relieve a stuffy nose with the overpowering scent of eucalyptus oil gently messaged into the chest. 

To get the consistency just like petroleum jelly, I make a natural version that looks and feel just like Vaseline.  Castor oil and beeswax have a symbiotic relationship. When heated the beeswax is whisked into castor oil until the jelly like consistency is b achieved. This mixture provides a protective barrier to the skin, holding in moisture and helping to prevent and skin irritation. 

INGREDIENTS- Pure castor oil. Olive oil. Australian Beeswax. Eucalyptus oil. Rosemary oil.

Here is why you should buy my version and avoid Vaseline (petroleum jelly) at all costs. 

Petroleum jelly is a byproduct of the petroleum manufacturing process. Yes, petroleum as in petrol. The raw materials in petroleum jelly (what you smear on your skin) were actually discovered on an oil rig in 1859 – it was found building up in the machinery!
 A chemical that is hard to dispose of, so clever corperations have processed it into a skin product and sassy marketers have convinced consumers to buy the stuff. 

Petroleum jelly has the unique ability to absorb into our skin and lock itself into place in between cells in our liquid barrier. Manufacturers of the stuff will tell you this creates long lasting, smooth skin. But truth be told, petroleum jelly has no moisturizing properties of its own. Instead, it acts as an impermeable barrier to the skin. Sure it will lock in whatever moisture is underneath it to give your skin the appearance of being moisturized, but it will also lock in any dirt, sweat, or bacteria that exists. This barrier will also deter any added moisture or beneficial ingredients from other products to reach the skin. Also, since petroleum jelly is not water soluble, it does not easily wash away, which means it can build up in your system over time. 

Ingredients- Raw honey, Garlic, Turmeric, Ginger, Lemon, Black pepper

This is the perfect honey to reach for when you have a sore throught or feel a cold coming on. It is nearly more spicy than sweet, an intense mix that will make you feel fresh and clear.

Eat straight or mix one large teaspoon with warm water to make a easy, delicious and healthy tea instantly. 

Bee Pollen

Western Australia has a high density of unique plant species that produce high quality pollens. These are harvested free of chemicals from pristine forests and conservation reserves. Do not trust any pollen or other bee products that have been imported to Australia as they must be irradiated on entry... which pretty much kills all the health benefits.
