Thank you for your question. Here’s a general guide on how to use propolis tincture:
Dilute if Desired: Propolis tincture is highly concentrated, so you may choose to dilute it with a small amount of water or juice before using it. This can help mitigate the strong taste and make it easier to consume.
Oral Consumption: The most common way to use propolis tincture is by taking it orally. Start with a small dosage, such as a few drops or half a dropperful, and gradually increase if needed. Place the desired amount under your tongue, hold it there for a few seconds, and then swallow. This method allows the propolis to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Mixing with Food or Drinks: You can also mix propolis tincture with honey, tea, smoothies, or other beverages. Add a few drops or the recommended dosage to your chosen food or drink and consume it as usual. This can help mask the taste and make it more palatable.
Topical Application: Propolis tincture can be applied topically for various skin conditions, including cuts, scrapes, burns, acne, and fungal infections. Dilute the tincture with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil or olive oil, before applying it to the affected area. Perform a patch test first to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.
Gargling or Mouthwash: Propolis tincture can be used as a mouthwash or gargle for oral health. Mix a few drops of the tincture with warm water and swish it around your mouth for a minute or two before spitting it out. This can help maintain oral hygiene and potentially alleviate mouth ulcers or sore throats.
Always consult with a healthcare professional or naturopath. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that propolis may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
