But before you know it, this moment can have consequences: Sunstroke, sunburn or a mosquito bite. We have 11 simple summer tips with bee products propolis, manuka honey and bee venom for an effective solution to your summer problems.
Tips for sunstroke
Sunstroke (also known as heliosis) is caused by a build-up of heat from direct sunlight on the scalp. This is manifested by nausea, headaches, fever and vomiting. Sunstroke often occurs in bald men and children. To prevent sunstroke, tip 1) stay in the shade and avoid direct sunlight. If the symptoms do occur afterwards, it is important to avoid the sun and cool the skin. Tip 2) Drink plenty of water and keep your body hydrated. Tip 3) Bee Cream (contains 8 high-quality herbal extracts and bee venom) has a cooling and analgesic effect, so it can be applied to the affected areas (e.g. the temples). If you are sweating profusely, there is a high loss of minerals. Tip 4) a small teaspoon of salt should be taken (preferably with some liquid!).
Tips for sunburn
All of us have probably suffered from sunburn (also known as dermatitis solaris) and can tell you a thing or two about it. Sunburn is an inflammation of the upper layer of the skin (also known as the epidermis) caused by excessive exposure to the sun's UV rays. The degree of sunburn differs in terms of the visible symptoms. While mild sunburn is visible in the form of reddening of the skin, severe sunburn is characterized by blistering of the skin, which can leave scars if treated incorrectly. Fair-skinned people in particular are very susceptible to sunburn, so tip 1) use a sun cream with a sufficient sun protection factor (SPF). We recommend at least SPF 30, more likely 50 with sufficient protection. If an inflammation of the skin occurs despite a sun protection factor, it is important to support the body from the inside and outside. Tip 2) Dose propolis tincture for inside and outside. The propolis starter set offers the perfect all-rounder for this. Take the propolis capsules with plenty of water (adults 2 capsules, children 1 capsule). Add the propolis tincture 20% to an After Sun, mix well and apply to the sunburn. For small areas of skin, the propolis spray can be sprayed directly onto the skin. Especially tip 3) the propolis tincture 20% in the after sun is worth its weight in gold, this cools the skin and has a nourishing and protective effect on the inflamed epidermis. Nice side effect: the propolis tincture can nourish the skin so that it does not peel and loosen.
Tips for mosquito bites
Summer and heat often means wasps, mosquitoes and stings. While wasps often pay us a visit when we are eating, enjoying a cold refreshment or relaxing in the sun, mosquitoes prefer to keep us company in the evening. What do both insects have in common? They like to bite. Mosquitoes and wasps often release their secretions when they bite, causing red, circular wheals to form. The blood coagulates due to the anaesthetic effect of the secretions. The sting site swells, reddens, warms up and itches. Wasp and mosquito bites can cause allergic reactions, in which case a visit to the doctor is recommended; if this is not the case, bee products can provide relief. Tip 1) Children are often prone to stings, the alcohol-free propolis spray can be sprayed directly onto them, this can quickly relieve the itching. Tip 2) The combination of Bee Cream and Propolis Tincture 20% can soothe and relieve itching and redness. The cooling effect of Bee Cream due to the herbal extracts such as menthol, eucalyptus and bee venom has a relaxing effect on mosquito bites. Swelling and redness can be treated quickly with this home remedy. If an open wound has been caused by excessive itching/scratching, an antibacterial paste can be made for the open wound using tip 3) Manuka honey and propolis tincture 20%. Mix a small amount of manuka honey with 2-3 drops of propolis tincture and apply to the open wound as a natural plaster. The bedrop children's set is especially useful for children.
The use of bee products such as bee venom, manuka honey and propolis in summer is very versatile and helpful. These home remedies belong in every first-aid kit and are always ready to hand. Enjoying the summer to the full despite sunburn, mosquito bites and sunstroke is important, it is important to make the most of it. But preventive action can prevent sunburn or sunstroke.
Apply plenty of sunscreen, use the right SPF, stay in shady areas if possible and enjoy the summer.
