Bees use propolis as a sealant for their hives, to fill in cracks, smooth walls and form a protective sealant against the weather and invaders. It can help maintain the humidity inside a hive, and it also has antibiotic properties, thought to help look after the health of the bees, which all live in close proximity to each other in the hive. Propolis can range in colour from transparent to yellow, red and dark brown, and has been found to contain resins, waxes, oils and pollens, in varying degrees. Its makeup depends a lot on the region but over 300 compounds have been identified. Most of these are antioxidant polyphenols called flavonoids, known to help protect the body [1,2].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe wellbeing link\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAncient cultures knew something about the benefits of propolis. The Egyptians used it for embalming bodies. And there’s evidence the ancient Greeks and Romans used it in wound-healing. Since then, it’s been in traditional use in various countries around the world, and is thought to have anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. There’s still a lot we have yet to learn about propolis but science is beginning to confirm some of the ways propolis may help your health...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt may help your immune system fight bugs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough more research is needed, some studies suggest propolis may have a role in helping your body fight viruses. In lab tests, it’s been found to have antiviral properties [3]. Propolis has been shown to fight the herpes virus that causes cold sores, potentially shortening the duration of an outbreak. One recent paper has even looked into whether it may help against different types of virus, proposing its anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity may help the body battle more modern infections, and potentially prevent some of the worst effects [4]. We don’t currently have enough evidence, but propolis is considered safe for most people (avoid if you’re allergic to bees or honey) and potentially promising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt may soothe inflammation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropolis has been used traditionally for calming inflammatory conditions, and some research has shown why it may be helpful.

It’s been used in dentistry and may also have a role in easing sore throats [6].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt has antibacterial benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike its cousin, honey, propolis has been found to help blitz bacteria.

All honey has antibacterial qualities but Manuka honey’s a hero. It’s packed with a powerful antimicrobial substance called methylglyoxal (MGO), plus other compounds known to battle certain bacteria. There’s some emerging evidence that suggests Manuka honey may have some antiviral effects, too [9].

MGO has special anti-bacterial properties, which means it can kill bad bugs and bacteria. It’s what sets Manuka apart from other honeys and makes it such a powerful choice for natural wellness. The higher the MGO number, the greater the concentration of this beneficial compound – and the stronger the honey’s activity. The amount of MGO contained is written on the front of every pot and is expressed as mg per kg. So a 100 MGO Manuka honey will contain at least 100 milligrams of Methylglyoxal per Kilogram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule of thumb, the more severe your health concern, the higher the MGO you should go.

MGO has special anti-bacterial properties, which means it can kill bad bugs and bacteria. It’s what sets Manuka apart from other honeys and makes it such a powerful choice for natural wellness. The higher the MGO number, the greater the concentration of this beneficial compound – and the stronger the honey’s activity. The amount of MGO contained is written on the front of every pot and is expressed as mg per kg. So a 100 MGO Manuka honey will contain at least 100 milligrams of Methylglyoxal per Kilogram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule of thumb, the more severe your health concern, the higher the MGO you should go.

MGO has special anti-bacterial properties, which means it can kill bad bugs and bacteria. It’s what sets Manuka apart from other honeys and makes it such a powerful choice for natural wellness. The higher the MGO number, the greater the concentration of this beneficial compound – and the stronger the honey’s activity. The amount of MGO contained is written on the front of every pot and is expressed as mg per kg. So a 100 MGO Manuka honey will contain at least 100 milligrams of Methylglyoxal per Kilogram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule of thumb, the more severe your health concern, the higher the MGO you should go.

Manuka honey has an inviting golden colour with a smooth, creamy texture. Its well-balanced flavour is a taste sensation, first sweet then woody, ending with a very slight bitterness.

MGO has special anti-bacterial properties, which means it can kill bad bugs and bacteria. It’s what sets Manuka apart from other honeys and makes it such a powerful choice for natural wellness. The higher the MGO number, the greater the concentration of this beneficial compound – and the stronger the honey’s activity. The amount of MGO contained is written on the front of every pot and is expressed as mg per kg. So a 100 MGO Manuka honey will contain at least 100 milligrams of Methylglyoxal per Kilogram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule of thumb, the more severe your health concern, the higher the MGO you should go.

Manuka honey has an inviting golden colour with a smooth, creamy texture. Its well-balanced flavour is a taste sensation, first sweet then woody, ending with a very slight bitterness.
