Propolis is a natural substance produced by honeybees, often called bee glue or bee resin. It is a brown-yellow, resinous mass with an aromatic scent. Bees collect resins from buds and tree bark, mix them with wax and their own enzymes, and create propolis. Inside the hive they use this “bee putty” to seal gaps and protect the colony from germs and pests. The name comes from Greek: “pro” means “before / for” and “polis” means “city”, pointing to its protective role for the “bee city”. Our water-based propolis solution is made with the highest purity and gentle processing. Unlike many propolis extracts dissolved in alcohol or oils, this product is alcohol- and oil-free, based on an aqueous solution. That makes it especially mild and preserves the natural actives (alcohol can partially destroy delicate propolis compounds, reducing the natural effect of alcoholic tinctures). Another plus: water-soluble propolis does not harm the beneficial gut flora like some antibiotics can, thus maintaining the body’s fragile microbiological balance. Quality and application: Heilnatura APV propolis extract without alcohol comes in an amber glass bottle that shields it from light. The built-in glass pipette enables precise dosing, and a child-safety cap ensures safe storage. Thanks to its alcohol-free, gentle formula, this APV propolis solution is suitable for the whole family – safe even for children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Ideally it is applied orally via the mucosa for direct absorption and high bioavailability. For example, add a few drops to a glass of water and gargle (for mouth and throat care) or dab the drops directly on the desired area. Water-based propolis in Professor Zhdanov’s eye-training method A special field of use for propolis is natural eye care. Russian scientist and lecturer Prof. Dr. Vladimir Zhdanov developed a holistic concept for improving vision without glasses. In his well-known “Better Vision without Glasses” program he combines specific eye exercises with select natural products – including this water-based APV propolis solution, which is said to support vision and strengthen immune health.

Benefits Immune support & cold season Alcohol-free propolis is traditionally used to support the body’s defences, especially for mild throat irritation and mucous-membrane care in the mouth and pharynx. Gentle oral care & gut flora Water-based propolis is valued for natural mouth hygiene and for maintaining healthy microbial balance. Users appreciate it as an addition to daily oral care. Skin care & antioxidant protection The natural composition contains antioxidative substances traditionally used on irritated or sensitive skin, making it popular for cosmetic skin applications. Support for skin regeneration Traditionally used to aid the natural healing of minor surface injuries and mild burns (e.g., sunburn). Many users apply it regularly for skin care. Care of sensitive areas In folk cosmetics propolis is used to soothe sensitive, itchy skin (e.g., neurodermatitis, eczema or blemished skin) and to improve overall skin appearance. Natural mouth and dental care Widely used for sensitive gums, irritated mucosa and to support a pleasant mouthfeel. Targeted skin care (e.g., warts) Occasionally applied to hardened or stressed skin areas to encourage natural regeneration. Wellbeing & vitality Many people take propolis during periods of stress to feel more energetic as part of a balanced diet. DOSAGE Suggested use Take 7 drops twice daily, neat or diluted in a little water, about 15–20 minutes before meals. For full effect, use regularly for 1 to 1.5 months.

Small, dark purple – and full of natural power: The wild blueberry is a true superfood of nature. Its intense flavor and exceptionally high concentration of plant compounds have made it a treasure in herbal medicine for centuries.

Skin health: Antioxidants can protect the skin from premature aging and support its natural elasticity. Eye health: Blueberries are traditionally used to support vision and microcirculation in the eyes.

Propolis is a natural product made by honeybees, often referred to as bee resin or bee glue. It is a brown-yellow resinous mass with an aromatic scent. Bees collect resins from buds and tree bark, mix them with wax and their own enzymes to produce propolis. Inside the hive, they use this “bee glue” to seal cracks and openings and protect the colony from germs and pests. The name propolis comes from Greek: “pro” means “for/in front of” and “polis” means “city”, referring to its protective function for the “bee city”. Bee venom is an extraordinarily rich natural concentrate: Around 50% of its dry mass consists of melittin – a water-soluble peptide studied for its soothing and protective effects on the skin. Alongside the natural peptide apamin, it can stimulate skin microcirculation, refine its appearance, and promote a smoother, firmer look. In a bee venom cream, this natural power offers gentle yet effective care. Bee venom thus combines centuries-old beekeeping knowledge with modern research, providing a natural complement for premium skincare products. Our cream combines propolis and bee venom in a gentle process, uniting protection with mild microcirculation stimulation. With only the most essential ingredients, it delivers effective, fast-absorbing care. Effects When applying the Bee Venom Cream with Propolis, tiny bee venom peptides such as melittin penetrate through the stratum corneum into deeper skin layers with the help of sunflower oil and propylene glycol. There, they activate pain and immune receptors, triggering a completely harmless “alarm signal”. The body responds with local vasodilation: more blood, oxygen, minerals, and vitamins flow to the treated area, explaining the typical tingling or warming sensation. At the same time, melittin blocks inflammation-promoting signaling pathways, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort. Propolis contributes antibacterial flavonoids that repel germs and support wound healing, while camphor stimulates thermoreceptors and relaxes tense muscles. Beeswax finally forms a light, breathable protective film that retains moisture without clogging pores. Thus, the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom combines targeted stimulation therapy with natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial protection – entirely without cortisone, mineral oils, or parabens. The Propolis Cream with Bee Venom poses no danger to humans. Muscles: Provides soothing relief for muscle tension Suitable as a supportive application for tennis elbow treatment Back discomfort: Helps alleviate discomfort in the back area Joints: Provides soothing support for joint discomfort Skin: Age spots – The Propolis Cream with Bee Venom can help reduce and care for age spots cosmetically Scars – Supports the natural regeneration of skin in scar formation Redness & swelling – Helps reduce redness and swelling on the skin Varicose veins – Cosmetic support for varicose veins with regular care using Heilnatura Bee Venom Cream Spider veins – Recommended for cosmetic care and support with spider veins DOSAGE Application recommendation Preparing the skin Clean the affected area. Warm the skin slightly (e.g., with a warm cloth) to enhance absorption. Initial test phase (1 - 2 weeks) Apply the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom 2–3 times daily directly to the affected area – not over large areas. Gently massage the Bee Venom Cream with Propolis by Heilnatura until fully absorbed. Monitor your individual tolerance and relief during these 7–14 days. Regular use After a successful test phase: continue applying 2–3 times daily to the targeted area and massage thoroughly. A small amount of the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom is sufficient: it is very economical and pleasantly scented. Minimum treatment duration & long-term use Due to the natural ingredients, we recommend a minimum application period of 6 weeks. If improvement continues, you can use the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom for as long as desired – your body needs time to initiate its own regeneration processes. Additional uses The Bee Venom Cream with Propolis is also excellent for soothing massages or general relaxation treatments. Notes People allergic to bee or wasp stings (especially with anaphylactic reactions) as well as to honey or other bee products should avoid using the Propolis Cream with Bee Venom.
