Apitherapy, honey, propolis, pollen and royal jelly in your online organic pharmacy

From the Latin apis for bee, apitherapy is the discipline of using the products harvested, processed or secreted by bees - honey, propolis, pollen, royal jelly and venom - for dietary and therapeutic purposes. Apitherapy is the use of beehive products to treat ailments.

Generally speaking, honey's high vitamin and trace element content makes it an excellent physical and intellectual tonic. Thanks to its antibacterial action, organic honey is commonly used to relieve various cold-related infections, such as coughs, sore throats and respiratory system disorders.

A whitish, gelatinous substance secreted by the pharyngeal glands of young nurse bees, royal jelly is renowned for stimulating the immune system. It contains water, sugars, proteins, minerals, vitamins and trace elements. Royal jelly acts as a natural stimulant for the body. It can be found in various forms (capsules, ampoules) and combined with other nutrients for even greater effectiveness.

Propolis is a dark-colored resinous mixture of plant elements used to line the inside of the beehive, making it sterile and watertight. This resin is particularly rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Externally, it is used to soothe and help heal wounds and burns, in the same way as honey, but also to treat certain forms of vaginal infection and herpes.

Toning, stimulating, detoxifying, the list goes on. Pollen has incredible properties for the body. In particular, it balances intestinal flora, improves digestive comfort and boosts the immune system.

This age-old practice uses the properties of bee products to improve and maintain human health. Apitherapy uses the purported properties of honey, propolis, wax, bee venom, royal jelly, bee bread and pollen. Honey and beehive products have long been used as basic treatments, cures and remedies. The ancient Egyptians, the Greeks - Hippocrates already recommended honey in ointment preparations and for wound treatment - and ancient Rome, as well as the Judeo-Christian tradition, were already doing so. Today, beehive products are natural therapeutics with scientifically attested virtues. Most apitherapy proposals have not been scientifically established and do not meet medical standards.

Honey: a natural food and remedy with versatile virtues

Honey, the emblematic product of the beehive, is much more than just a natural sweetener. Thanks to its complex composition, rich in natural sugars, vitamins, trace elements, enzymes and antioxidant compounds, honey offers a multitude of health benefits.

Natural antibacterial: Honey contains hydrogen peroxide, a substance with antiseptic properties that limits the proliferation of bacteria. This makes it an effective ally against skin infections and wounds.
Respiratory relief: Used for centuries to soothe sore throats, calm coughs and relieve respiratory ailments, organic honey is widely recommended for colds and ENT conditions.
Physical and intellectual stimulant: Thanks to its high content of easily-assimilable carbohydrates, it acts as a natural energizer, ideal for combating fatigue and sustaining physical and mental effort.
Healing gas pedal: Applied externally, honey promotes tissue regeneration and improves healing of wounds and burns.

Honey comes in many varieties (acacia, thyme, lavender, etc.), each offering specific properties depending on the plants foraged by the bees.

Royal Jelly: an Elixir of Vitality and Immune Strengthening

Royal jelly, the gelatinous substance secreted by young nurse bees, is the exclusive food of the queen bee, who enjoys exceptional longevity and vitality. This concentrate of essential nutrients offers remarkable benefits for human health.

Exceptional nutritional composition: It contains water, carbohydrates, proteins (including bioactive peptides), lipids, vitamins (notably B group), minerals and trace elements.
Stimulation of immune defenses: Royal jelly acts as a natural stimulant, strengthening the body's defense mechanisms against infection.
Improved energy and vitality: Recommended for combating fatigue, stress and low energy levels, particularly during seasonal changes.
Antioxidant effect: Thanks to its bioactive compounds, it helps protect cells against oxidative stress.

Available in capsule, ampoule or pure form, royal jelly is often used as a cure to support the body over the long term.

Propolis: a natural anti-microbial and healing shield

Propolis, a resin harvested from tree buds and enriched by bees, is used in the hive to sanitize the environment and protect colonies from pathogens. Its antimicrobial properties make it a valuable natural remedy.

Antiseptic and antimicrobial action: Rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids, propolis fights bacteria, viruses and fungi, making it an ally against infections, including those of the oral and ENT spheres.
Healing and soothing: Used externally, it helps heal wounds, burns and skin irritations.
Immune support: By stimulating natural defenses, it helps protect the body from external aggression.
Treatment of viral infections: Propolis is particularly effective in soothing the symptoms of herpes labialis or genital herpes.

In the form of sprays, balms, tinctures or lozenges, propolis is a must-have in the natural pharmacy.

Pollen: a toning and balancing superfood

Pollen, harvested by bees from flowers, is a veritable concentrate of nutrients. Rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins and enzymes, it is considered a superfood with multiple benefits.

Balancing intestinal flora: By acting as a natural prebiotic, pollen encourages the development of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, improving digestive comfort.
Stimulates immune defenses: It strengthens the body against external aggression and helps reduce fatigue.
Detoxifying action: Thanks to its antioxidant properties, pollen helps eliminate toxins and protects cells from oxidative stress.
Energy support: Recommended for athletes and convalescents, it improves endurance and recovery.
