What is Propolis?
Propolis is a sticky resin that flows from the buds of certain trees. Bees collect it in their pollen baskets and return it to the hive. They use it as bulking material to fill holes and openings. More importantly, bees line the interior of brood cells with Propolis to prepare for the Queen bee to lay her eggs. Its powerful antiseptic properties create a hospital-clean environment for raising their young. Propolis also helps to "sanitize" the hive, preventing diseases from spreading.
Bees have depended on Propolis for millions of years. It plays a crucial role in their survival as a species. Humans have known about its uses for thousands of years, and we are continuously uncovering further benefits.
The History of Propolis
The term “Propolis” is believed to have been introduced by Aristotle (384 – 322 BC). It comes from two Greek words: “pro,” meaning for or before, and “polis,” meaning city.
Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, used Propolis extensively as a natural antibiotic. The famous scholar Pliny (23 – 79 AD) described Propolis in his comprehensive work ‘Natural History.’ He noted that it could reduce swellings, soften hard tissues, ease sinew pain, and heal difficult sores.

Why is Propolis So Beneficial?
An analysis reveals that Propolis contains about 150 complex compounds. Among these are bioflavonoids and various vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B7, E, C, H, P, D, folic acid, and nicotinic acids. It also includes essential minerals like iron, copper, zinc, manganese, aluminum, magnesium, cobalt, vanadium, strontium, silicon, and calcium.
Propolis is well known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities. These properties help support faster wound healing. It can reduce mouth ulcers and generally support oral health. Additionally, it provides excellent natural daily support for a healthy immune system.
Did you know that Greek and Roman physicians used Propolis as a mouth disinfectant? Modern research indicates it may effectively treat periodontitis and gingivitis.
Why is Chalmers Dale Propolis Different?
The Propolis extract we use at Chalmers Dale undergoes a unique process of “cryogenic” filtration. This method exposes the extract to extremely low temperatures, allowing impurities to crystallize and be filtered out. The result is an extract that is exceptionally pure, retaining all the attributes of Propolis without impurities.
We use standardized pure Propolis extract to ensure consistency in our products. Our Propolis is sourced from Australia and certified free from lead and other heavy metals.
