Propolis has been used as medicine since ancient Egypt. Medical notes of Arabs, Greeks and Romans reveal that they have used Propolis for treating infections, skin diseases, respiratory problems, joint problems, abscesses and tumors. In Europe and North Africa Propolis has been used for treating wounds, dental caries and all forms of mouth and throat infections.

With the introduction of modern synthetic drugs the use of all natural products dropped, but China and Eastern Europe continued with medical researches of Propolis. The Western Medical Community took notice once again in the 1960s and 1970s, when health benefits of Propolis became scientifically researched and confirmed once again.

Modern scientists tried to isolate the special ingredients in Propolis that are beneficial to our health, but using only extracted ingredients has given lesser results than using the whole Propolis. The combined and synergistic effects of propolis have proved to be better than any single ingredients extracted from it. Scientifical studies have shown that propolis actually consists of more than 150 chemical components, which work together synergistically to create a balanced, nutritive substance.
