First of all, thank you to the myriad strands of life"s web for the gifts of medicine bestowed to us along with the responsibility to share and rejuvenate these connections. We are constantly amazed by the work of the bees and the apothecary of medicine they produce. Raw honey has been used for thousands of years as a food and topically as treatment for burns and wounds. Honey is hydroscopic, drawing moisture from the environment, effectively incapacitating infectious bacteria. It has an acidic pH which further dissuades microbial colonization and has been found to contain inhibine which is akin to hydrogen peroxide. Honey also coats exposed, irritated nerve endings inhibiting oxidation, thus relieving pain. The bees make propolis by combining resins (from poplars and conifers), beeswax, and pollen. Propolis (bee-glue) strengthens waterproofs and sterilizes the hive. Propolis is antibiotic, antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic (numbing pain). At Honey Gardens, we were inspired to combine raw honey, propolis, and beeswax with olive oil infusions of comfrey root, calendula flowers, and plantain leaves. Comfrey root knits wounds together, promotes cell repair, and heals burns. Calendula flowers sooth inflamed tissues, burns, and stimulate healing of wounds. Plantain leaves are astringent drawing infections to the surface, promoting healing of injuries. Each herb also helps stop bleeding. The propolis acts as a resinous bandage, protecting the wound. Apply Honey House propolis salve to burns, wounds, bruises, swellings, stings and damaged/dry skin.
