Propolis as the best defense

Autumn, with its first cold spells and increased humidity, brings an increase in respiratory illnesses, such as colds, flu, and sore throats. These infections, caused by viruses, can be particularly bothersome and debilitating.

What viruses threaten us with the arrival of the cold season?

Among the main viruses responsible for autumn respiratory infections are:
• Rhinovirus: the most common virus, responsible for the common cold.
• Influenza viruses: they cause influenza, a more serious illness than the common cold that can lead to complications.
•Parainfluenza viruses: they cause upper respiratory tract infections, such asbronchiolitis andlaryngotracheitis.

How to prepare for the season of ailments

Propolis is a plant substance produced by plants and collected by bees. It is recognized for its antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an increasingly used natural remedy to prevent and combat influenza infections.

How does propolis work?

Strengthens the immune system:  Propolis stimulates the production of white blood cells, the immune system cells responsible for defending the body from infections.
Fights viruses:  Propolis inhibits the replication of influenza viruses, preventing their spread throughout the body.
Reduces inflammation: The anti-inflammatory action ofpropolis helps relieve flu symptoms, such as fever, muscle aches, and sore throat.

How to take propolis?

Propolis is available in various forms, including:
Syrups: Ideal for soothing sore throats and coughs.
Extracts: Can be taken directly or diluted in water.
Capsules: A convenient form to take.
Candies: A tasty way to take propolis.

But not everyone knows that propolis can be taken simply by breathing in its volatile fraction, with more effective results than traditional methods. Discover PropolAir

Why breathe in propolis?

"The volatile fraction ofpropolis has demonstrated enhanced generalprobiotic activity compared to the extracted fraction taken orally. This enhancement, resulting in greaterpsychophysical well-being, is likely due to the fact that ingestion occurs not only through the respiratory andpercutaneous routes, but also and essentially through the olfactory nerves, which penetrate the nasal mucosa." (Excerpt from "Curarsi con la Propoli" - Prof. L.Pecchiai)

The innovative propolis to breathe

In recent years, an innovative system has been developed that diffuses the volatile fraction of propolis into the environment, with its precious therapeutic properties.

The benefits of propolis for breathing:
•  Proven efficacy: Scientific studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of propolis to breathe in in reducing the microbial load in the air and preventing respiratory infections.
Ease of use: Propolis diffusers are simple to use and can be used in any environment, time, and situation without side effects.
Preventive and curative action: Breathing in propolis can be used both to prevent respiratory infections and to relieve cold and cough symptoms.
