Bee products

The Egyptians already wrote about it in 5500 BC, on the other hand, the Indians used them for their religious ceremonies around 1000 BC, and the Babylonians used them in their medical practices. The western world actually discovered the benefits of the bee superfoods by chance during an investigation by native Russian beekeepers who all lived for more than 100 years and who eat raw honey every day that is rich in flower pollen.

Honey from the nectar that the bees swallow from flowers is a universal medicine, a sweetener and a rich nutrient resource. The intensive research on honey that has been carried out in Russia indicates that raw, unprocessed honey is the richest natural source of vital enzymes and that it increases reflexes, mental alertness, and even the IQ. Some species of Lehua and Noni honey from Hawai, Manuka honey from New Zealand's rainforests and Sidr honey from Yemen have proven to be antifungal, antibiotic and anti-viral.
If possible, it is recommended to buy wild honey. It provides more vitality and more factors that contribute to rejuvenation.
The honey should be enjoyed raw, since boiled honey does not contain any enzymes. You can combine it with other mineral rich superfoods to improve the absorption of minerals. Honey has been shown to help relieve and cure a number of different ailments, such as diarrhea, ulcers, infections, irritable bowels, gastrointestinal problems, cancer and staphylococcal infections. Honey also has antibiotic effects: anthrax, diphtheria, urinary tract infections, ear infections, meningitis, infections of the airways, sinusitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, animal bite infections, typhus, dysentery, abscesses, furuncles, carbuncles, impetigo, Caries, puerperal fever, scarlet, sore throat and cholera. Honey is also typically used to heal wounds. (especially Manuka honey).
The medicinal use of honey is based on its anti-bacterial and moisture-retaining properties and honeys have no side effects.

Royal Jelly - royal jelly is a milk-like secretion from the head glands of the workers' bees. The bee queen lives almost exclusively from Jelly Royale and lives about 40 times longer than the rest of the bees. Gelée Royale is a power pack of nutrients. It contains all the nutrients that are required to support life. It is the richest source in the world of pantothenic acid (also known as vitamin B 5), which is known to combat stress, fatigue and insomnia and is a vital nutrient for healthy skin and hair.

Flower pollen - bee pollen collected by bees from flowering plants and developed into granules. Blossom pollen is the most complete food found in nature and has five to seven times more protein than beef. It is particularly beneficial for the additional nutritional and energy needs of athletes and for the recovery of diseases. It is a natural antidote for the control of allergies, especially hay fever and sinusitis (nasal sinusitis). Studies show that pollen is countering the signs of aging and increases mental and physical performance.

Propolis - Propolis is the substance with which bees clothe the walls of their beehives and beehives are often referred to as the best antiseptic places in nature. The powerful antibiotic properties of Propolis can protect humans from bacteria and strengthen our immune system. Propolis acts against viruses, which can not be antibiotics. Research shows that the use of propolis in the "cold and flue season" helps to avoid colds, cough, as well as inflammation of the throat.
