Propolis: The Natural Way to Prevent and Heal Infection

Genre: Herbal Remedies, Alternative Medicine
4.3 stars, 8 ratings
Paperback: $7.99
Ebook: $0.99 (Free via Kindle Unlimited)



Propolis is creating a “buzz” in the world of fighting infection.

The same thing that fights off the viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic invaders in a beehive is also effective for people. Propolis, a sticky substance also known as “bee glue,” is scientifically proven to be a powerhouse against both common and puzzling viral and bacterial infections, including the virus that causes the common cold, bacterial infections like Staphylococcus aureus, and multiple dangerous and deadly infections. 

While many people turn to antibiotics that only deal with bacterial infections, they are left with a whole host of new issues. Propolis addresses a wider scope of microbial infections, including viral and fungal infections, parasites, and more. Plus, it is free of side effects. Terry breaks down the who, what, where, when, and why of propolis and invites you to understand how it can serve as nature’s strongest infection fighter for you and your family.
