Many thanks to the bees and the Merry Hornet. I have had diabetes for many years. In addition to medicines and special nutrition, nothing helps in life.

To prepare a tincture at home, you do not need anything other than the propolis itself and an alcohol base. But the proportions depend on what concentration of the solution you want to get. You can make a 10% or 20% solution, but it is most convenient to prepare a 50% solution and then dilute it before use. Please note that propolis medicine can only be diluted with water or milk. We will give just such a recipe.
Ingredients:
- propolis - 50 grams;
- medical alcohol - 450 ml.
The most optimal base for the tincture is 70% medical alcohol. You can also use food grade ethyl alcohol. As a last resort, highly purified vodka is suitable, without flavors and additives. Moonshine is not suitable in this case: the content of fusel oils can reduce the beneficial effect of the tincture to a minimum.
Cleaning propolis
At the preparatory stage, propolis must be cleaned of extraneous inclusions. Freeze it for several hours, and then grind it on a fine grater. Pour the resulting shavings with cold water. After 5-10 minutes, when the clean glue settles to the bottom, the water and floating impurities can be drained off. After drying the propolis shavings in the fresh air, we proceed to making the tincture.
Fast cooking method
- The alcohol base must be heated to 50 ° C using a water bath.
- Add purified crushed propolis. Keep on fire until the mixture is smooth. At the same time, stir constantly and do not boil.
- Remove from heat, strain through multilayer cheesecloth or cotton pad.
- Cool to room temperature. Pour into amber glass bottles and store in a cool place.
Long cooking method
This method takes more time, but less manipulation.
- In a dark bottle, mix the purified crushed propolis and the alcohol base.
- Insist for 10-15 days in a dark cool room, shaking the container every day.
- After 2 weeks, filter the healing tincture from the solid sediment and pour it into bottles with a tight cap.
Homemade propolis tincture can be stored in a cool dark place for up to 3 years. But it is better to make a small amount every year a new one. If for some reason none of the methods suits you, you can buy alcohol infusion at a pharmacy.
Reception of propolis tincture
The alcoholic infusion is correctly taken both internally and externally. In the first case, it has an immunostimulating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effect. Depending on each specific disease, the dosage varies from 10 to 60 drops per glass. The medicine should be taken in the morning after eating. The course of treatment without a doctor's prescription should not exceed 1 month.
When applied externally, the analgesic, disinfecting, regenerating effect is clearly manifested. In this case, the tincture is used for compresses, wet dressings, rinsing, rubbing, irrigation.
When it comes to treating children, the dosage is recalculated as follows. For each year of the child, 5% of the adult portion is added. For example, a ten-year-old child is given half the adult dose. But in the case of children, an aqueous solution should be used and be sure to follow the doctor's recommendations.
Contraindications
Despite the huge benefits of propolis, people with allergies need to be very careful. Honey and other bee products are among the top most popular allergens. Therefore, when various reactions appear: redness and itching of the skin, any discomfort, it is recommended to stop using the tincture. Other contraindications should be discussed with your doctor. Propolis is difficult to harm if used for general strengthening of the body. But serious, especially chronic, diseases are not safe to treat on their own.
