I recently created a new section where I share simple and affordable means for maintaining health. I have always been surprised by the fact that many people, having families and young children, are completely unfamiliar with simple and relatively harmless medicines that can cure many diseases. So the tincture of propolis with alcohol has found very wide use, but, as it turns out, not everyone knows how valuable and sometimes irreplaceable a natural medicine this is.
I recommend everyone to buy propolis tincture at the pharmacy and use it as needed - you will definitely be convinced of the power of this simple remedy. The good thing about affordable, simple natural medicines is that with their help you can do without taking expensive medications, or even cure the disease at the very beginning of its development.
I always have propolis tincture in my house - it has more than once saved me from being fired during the next flu epidemic or mass sick leave season. Thanks to this tool, I can quickly and easily deal with many (and more). Over the course of many years of use, I have collected many excellent recipes for treatment with propolis tincture in alcohol - I consider it one of the “first aid” products that should be in every home.
Treatment with propolis tincture in alcohol
Pharmacy tincture of propolis with alcohol treats many diseases and the most common of them are, of course, acute respiratory viral infections and acute respiratory infections, as well as colds.
Many people do not trust a commercial tincture or extract. In this case, you can prepare a propolis extract yourself using vodka or alcohol (preferably). You can also buy a ready-made preparation from beekeepers (sold at specialized fairs). I am quite satisfied with the quality and effectiveness of the propolis tincture from the pharmacy, so I always use only it.
Propolis tincture for cough and bronchitis
Propolis tincture for cough can be used both internally and externally.
Internal use :
- In case of severe cough, wheezing in the chest, add 1 teaspoon of propolis alcohol tincture to a third of a glass of hot milk and drink at night. Go to bed immediately. The product is very good, but is only suitable for adults;
- Children over 12 years old can use propolis tincture with milk as follows: for bronchitis, sore throat and colds, boil a glass of milk, cool to a tolerable temperature, add 1/3 teaspoon of tincture, 1 teaspoon of honey and a small piece of butter to a cup . Give your child a drink at night;
In principle, now I sometimes add 2-3 drops of propolis tincture to milk with honey to my baby (2 years 7 months) - it helps against wheezing in the chest, coughs, and colds.
Attention!
Honey and other bee products can cause allergies! If a child has allergic reactions to honey, then treatment with propolis tincture is contraindicated for him!External use of alcohol tincture for cough:
- Severe cough, wheezing in the chest in small children is perfectly treated with this remedy: melt a piece of goat fat (loya) in an old bowl and add a third of a teaspoon of tincture to it. Stir everything, lubricate the baby’s back, chest and feet and insulate with cotton wool. Wear cotton socks on your feet. Put the child to bed and give milk with honey and propolis ointment with butter. The recipe was tested on my three children (a week ago I cured my youngest from a debilitating cough - very quickly and harmlessly). Goat fat can be bought at the market or in rural areas - from people who have a goat. If there is no loy, then you can use pork fat (melt), sunflower or camphor oil.
- for bronchitis in older children (from 2-3 years old), you can spread melted warm fat on a thick clean sheet of paper, sprinkle it with propolis tincture and apply it to the back and chest (2 sheets in total are used). Insulate with cotton wool and a woolen scarf. Leave it on all night. The compress warms well and relieves wheezing and...

The product is very effective, helps to quickly cope with bronchitis, severe cough and even high fever.
The site has an article about pure propolis and how to use it to treat various ailments
Propolis tincture for the treatment of colds, flu, acute respiratory infections and ARVI
Alcohol tincture of propolis is used orally at the first signs of a cold.
Tea with propolis and spices
If you are frozen and you feel a sore throat, a “stream” is flowing from your nose, and your head feels like it’s being torn apart, then when you get home, immediately give yourself the following medicine:
in regular hot black or green tea put 1 tsp. honey, 1-2 black peppercorns, 1-2 cloves, 2 teaspoons of propolis tincture and 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil. Drink it hot. Repeat at night.
Tea with propolis tincture
At runny nose, cold the most affordable remedy would be hot tea with 1 teaspoon of propolis tincture. You can drink this tea at work, on a business trip, at a party (take a bottle of tincture with you), etc. I always saved myself at work with propolis - at the first sign of a cold, I brewed tea and added the tincture, and at home I received the full treatment.
One day, a good friend of mine complained that her 13-year-old daughter was too sick and wouldn’t go away. cough, runny nose and throat. In addition, the headache bothers me. I advised her to give her daughter tea with ½ teaspoon of propolis, lemon and honey 3-4 times a day (I attended school as usual). The girl recovered very quickly, and her friend stopped constantly coughing and drinking Citramon for headaches, since she drank tea with her daughter “for company” (added 1 teaspoon of tincture to a cup of tea).
attention
For people with sinusitis, severe runny nose and chronic rhinitis, the use of alcohol tincture of propolis with milk is unjustified - milk produces mucus, which leads to an increase in the disease.
For this reason, I advised my friend’s daughter to give her tea – the girl had a severe runny nose.
For influenza, acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory viral infections
- mix 3 tbsp. spoons of honey, propolis tincture and corn oil (can be sunflower or sea buckthorn). Take 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach in the morning for two weeks;
- 3 times a day, drink half a glass of water with propolis tincture dissolved in it (20 drops). Course – 14 days. When performing such procedures, it will not take long.
Nasal rinsing for all colds
Yes, yes. Without this procedure, any treatment will last 2 times longer, and repetitions will constantly accompany you. The nasopharyngeal mucosa is a breeding ground for pathogens that enhance the manifestations of the disease and weaken the immune system. After I started rinsing my nose with salt water every day, 90% of colds stopped attacking my body.
If, nevertheless, the infection manages to penetrate, then you need to rinse your nose with a solution of salt with propolis tincture:
For 1 tbsp. water, take half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of propolis tincture. It is best to rinse your nose using a special device (available at a pharmacy). I use a small porcelain teapot that has been sitting idle - it is very convenient for rinsing the nose.
We insert the spout of the teapot into the right nostril, tilt the head to the left - the water should pour out through the left nostril. Then we do the same thing, but washing the left side.
For periodontal disease
- Apply undiluted propolis tincture on a cotton swab to the purulent pocket. It will be very hot at first!
- Rinse your mouth with a solution of two tinctures and water: dilute 1 teaspoon of calendula and propolis tinctures in half a glass of water. Take the liquid into your mouth, hold for 2-3 minutes and spit it out. Do this until complete healing.
Gargling with propolis tincture
At sore throat and sore throat dilute 1 tbsp in a glass of water. spoon of propolis tincture and gargle 3-4 times a day. You can make a solution with citric acid, as for, and add 1 teaspoon of tincture to it.
At inflammatory diseases of the pharynx Not only gargling with propolis tincture is effective, but also irrigating the back wall of the nasopharynx with a concentrated solution:
by 0.5 tbsp. water 2 tbsp. spoons of tincture. Stir and use a small rubber bulb (a syringe for children) or a syringe without a needle to irrigate the throat. After the procedure, do not eat or drink for 30-40 minutes.
Helps even with purulent sore throats.
Otitis
For otitis and cold pain (lumbago) in the ear, instill 2 drops of pharmaceutical propolis tincture into the ear canal. Plug your ear with a cotton ball and lie down for at least 15 minutes with the affected ear facing up. Read more about the treatment of otitis media in adults in this article. I wrote how to apply compresses and treat otitis media in children.
Acute or chronic runny nose (rhinitis)
Apply drops to the nose: 2 tbsp. spoons of water 2 teaspoons of propolis tincture, 0.5 teaspoons (or sunflower). Drip frequently, up to 10 times a day.
Thrush in women
Health to everyone!
