So, here goes.... my first blog!
The importance of vocal health is one of the main focuses of my teaching. As part of a healthy vocal regime, there are benefits in supplementing exercises with Propolis.
Personally, I use the propolis tincture with the highest concentrate I can get (with no added sugars!). When I'm healthy, I use it daily (10-20drops) in warm water and knock it back like a shot. If I am doing a show or recording, I take it 2x day. And when I'm feeling vocal strain or have a sore throat, I take it 3x a day.
What is Bee Propolis, you may ask? Well, it is a nutrient-rich liquid extract (quite like molasses) with a high concentration of antioxidants. Propolis has antibacterial properties, the ability to relieve minor inflammations and support for immune health. This provides a natural form of protection in our uncertain age of superbugs, increased pollution, environmental degradation, and compromised health. Propolis is a very safe ingredient with no side effects or interactions. Unlike many antibiotics, it does not destroy the good bacteria living in the digestive tract.
See benefits listed below:
- Source of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and B vitamins
- Enhances immune function
- Soothes sore throat when used as a mouthwash
As someone who has relied on this tincture for over 25 years, I would highly recommend it.
