How to make a Propolis Tincture. 

رانا كامل هنا 😂😂😂

I discard it. As in my mind I have extracted most of the propolis. Some people add the sediment left over to creams.

Yes, it'll make everything brown real quick

We have a beehive and hubby harvests honey every year. I've played around with propolis and have discovered that it resists melting like wax does, is very hard and becomes crumbly as it dries out. Unlike wax and other oils it can't be melted to add to creams, lotions, candles and lip balm. It think you might try to heat it on low heat in a carrier oil of your choice. Otherwise, a concentrated tincture made by his method using a generous amount of propolis to alcohol ratio would be your best bet to make lotion, using the result as the liquid part.

with your mouth....?

after I filter the tincture there is a little debris. Most of that will be beeswax and other hive debris. There may be a little propolis in there, but I discard it as the concentration is unknown.

Propolis is extracted after any residual chemicals would have been offghast

I do not know. You would have to do some research.

I guess one could do a water extraction on the residue.

Propolis is a waxy , resinous mixture of plant resins, sap and oils. It resists dissolving into plain water, I know I've tried!

Bee Happy propolis has been used to cure a multitude of illnesses. There are many resources on the Internet but explain what it cures and how to use it

@@Innisfilcreekhoney Do you happen to know a resource? I've searched but can't find any, you also have a specific concentration, do you have a resource to share?

@@stillwatershomestead6242 I am not a doctor so can't get out medical advice. Best thing you can do is spend some time on Google..

The alcohol with dissolve it. It may take a few days longer but it will work fine,

you could, but at that point you might not get a very concentrated tincture. It would be diluted more and not as potent.

you collect propolis from the hive and then follow the instructions in the video

I take 8 -10 drops every morning. There are websites that have detailed dosing for what you’re trying to treat.

I take a sip, 2-3 spoons a day.

using it as a pesticide? do you know how expensive is propolis? :)

You can use any kind of alcohol or if you want to save some money you can use windshield wiper fluid.

Any residual propolis, I toss into the compost bin.

What I like to use is the propolis paste that is left over after the tincture is filtered. The paste left over has a very fine texture and is easy to incorporate into a cream or salve.

You can use what you have it just won't extract as much propolis and hold as much in suspension.

Propolis is very sticky. Best to take it straight. A few drops under the tongue or in the back of your throat.

I do not make propolis and oregano.

If you're using alcohol, there's really no way to get rid of the alcohol smell. You could try doing a water tincture but that's a little more involved

It will stain clothing. Could temporarily stain skin or teeth. When taking it I put it in the back of my throat to avoid this,

You can use steam distalation to make tictures, but I do not do that or know exactly how that is done,

yes you can use water or vinegar but the process of dissolving that resin will take longer

I am not a DR. so cannot give medical information. There are a lot of resources on Google if you do a search or you could talk to your naturopath or other health care professional

I don't know enough about apple cider vinegar or whether it would actually dissolve any of the problems or not. Sorry!

I just squirt 6 - 8 drops in my mouth. For dosages just do a search and you will find a lot of information

Yeah, it does. Also, Trump won

2 year for best

63% will work, just not as good and will not extract or hold insuspension as much propolis. polmos spirytus sounds a lot like the 95% Global Alcool that we use.

@@Innisfilcreekhoney thank you so much for your advice I've opted for the rum 🙈

we sell our 1 once or 30ml bottle for $19 cdn.

We harvest from the Honey Supers. The Honey bees do not overwinter there.

@@Innisfilcreekhoney Ce înseamnă Honey Supers?

There probably is but I am not aware as to how.

@@Innisfilcreekhoney thank you very much

You can use olive oil, but it takes 40 days to dissolve.

I was told you could boil it??

Propolis candy? That sounds amazing!

I am also in Ontario

All the required information is on the form which is available on the LCBO website

We can supply you the propolis

@@babatundeadedeji1397 give me your imal I need some propolis I feel insecure to do it my self

In my experience as soon as you at water the propolis reacts with it and comes out of suspension. Propolis is not sweet. It is kind of bitter. It would only be sweet is you added honey to it.

Thanks. sort of a habit of mine. Right forearm is a mechanical skull with bees coming out of a hole in the skull.

I love the tattoos as well

white pain?, you might mean paint from your hive?... I would try not to scrape off your paint, and no you would not want to desolve paint into your tinture and ingest it or sell it, as I am sure it would make it more toxic

That's basically what I'm using but just a Canadian version of it

I don't do that so we'll probably never make a video on how to

We sell from our farm and at farmers markets. Price would depend on what people are paying in your region.

You can use any solid propolis for this method. The alcohol will desolve it and hold it in suspension

Yes, that's where I'm confused.. thats why I came to the comment section

I add extra propolis to ensure that the tincture disolves and susoends at least 37% propolis. Better to use a little extra propolis than to provide an inferior product.

There are lots of resources on the Internet. Google is your friend

I would say yes but will take a bit longer to dissolve

Try Everclear brand

Hogh proof alcohol will disolve the propolis even if it is in a ball

from beekeepers

to make a ticture? Not sure why you would. Pollen is very digestable the way it is.

@@Innisfilcreekhoney yes and has a lot of compounds in that id like to isolate fir someone who cant digest a lot at one time

Sir , Thanks for great video. Can I make it with 42 % alcohol as above that is not available in India. Kindly suggest plz

lower alcohol content will not disolve the propolis very well. You need to use over 76% alcohol to make a good tinture,

A tincture is made to concentrate the levels of propolis per volume. It is easier to take a concentrated tincture then eat a ball of propolis. Also propolis contains a lot of beeswax and wood really clog up your teeth

I chew the propolis like gum. Lasts alll day. The chewing and saliva incorporates the goodnesses of the propolis into my body.

@@kristibi7971 I did this and it made my teeth look they have shite stuck to them. and very hard to remove.

😂😂😂

Alcohol will one hold so much in suspension. Also you only need a little every day. Not sure you would need a thicker tincture

let a lot of the alcohol evaporate. I assume this is for topical use, not internal.

@@Innisfilcreekhoney did you know the tincture is also used as a band-aid?

Global Alcool 94

What other alcohol can be used?

@@bettiegithinji4642 everclear 190 in America

why?

I am not a Doctor, so cannot give out dosage information. If you do a Google Search you can find los of doasge information

yes, this is confusing, I'm going to use 30% & 70% and hope it turns out

glad you can do math. Sometimes it is hard to keep simple things like that straight when you are filming a video.
