Externally propolis can be used and applied like any other substance with this purpose, directly to the affected area. In the case of open wounds, we recommended being more careful due to the presence of alcohol. Therefore it is also advised to give time for alcohol to evaporate as much as possible before application.
In case of the internal use, the standard method is to drops on a cube of sugar and let it stand for a few minutes for the most alcohol to evaporate and then place it under the tongue. In this way, the cube can dissolve, and the propolis is absorbed more easily. The general dosage is approximately 17 drops a day when used over a more extended period (2-3 months). Still, in case of a more acute situation, this dosage can be increased to three times 20 drops a day for not more than 5-7 consecutive days. The person under treatment of chemotherapy in some extreme case even consumes one bottle 20 ml a day.
It is crucial to stay aware of the feedback from the body at all times and use it intuitively. It is best to start with a small dosage of propolis tincture and slowly build-up to keep an eye on the reaction of the body. Propolis is a very powerful substance and please don’t underestimate its healing potential.
Alternatively, you can also put the drops op propolis in a spoon of honey or on a piece of bread if sugar is not the preferred option.
