Tips for the start of spring with bee products

Spring is a season full of life and vitality. With the onset of warmer weather, bees awaken from their hibernation and start producing propolis, royal jelly and manuka honey. These bee products have a long tradition in naturopathy and are valued for their valuable properties. They can provide us with good support in spring and give us a pleasant time during typical complaints such as tiredness, allergies and well-being.

Tip 1: Start the day fit

We all know it, especially after the time change we suffer from symptoms of tiredness and listlessness. We don't have the energy to start the day fit and take everything in our stride. After the short, dark winter days, our body is still in energy-saving mode. To prepare it naturally for the long and beautiful days ahead, it is important to start the day feeling invigorated. This is where natural energy boosters come into play. Instead of coffee and caffeine drinks, opt for natural Manuka honey and royal jelly. This is because royal jelly contains many nutrients that can boost energy levels and improve physical and mental performance. It is particularly rich in B-complex vitamins, which are essential for converting food into energy in the body.

Various studies have also shown that royal jelly can help reduce tiredness and fatigue and improve physical performance. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2009 found that daily intake of 3 grams of royal jelly over a 6-week period led to a significant improvement in patients with symptoms of fatigue.

With just 1 teaspoon of Manuka honey and 2 royal jelly capsules or 1 small pinch of fresh royal jelly, you are well fortified for the long day ahead.

Tip 2: Naturally ward off pollen

I have already discussed the topic of propolis for pollen allergies in detail in our last blog articles. Now in spring, the topic becomes super interesting, as around 20% of people living in Germany suffer from a pollen allergy/hay fever. You can use propolis as a natural antihistamine and support so that you are well equipped to deal with these symptoms. You can also support yourself with a natural propolis nasal spray; you can find the simple recipe in this blog article.

Tip 3: Soft and supple skin

Royal jelly is not only used as a dietary supplement, but also as an ingredient in skincare products. It has numerous benefits for the skin as it is rich in nutrients and antioxidants.

I have summarized some of the benefits of royal jelly for your skin:

• Anti-aging properties: royal jelly is rich in collagen, elastin and vitamins that can firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Manuka honey is highly prized as a facial mask.

• Moisturizing properties: Royal jelly is also an excellent moisturizer and can provide the skin with sufficient moisture, resulting in a radiant and healthy complexion.

• Regenerating properties: Royal jelly can support skin cell renewal and help repair damage caused by sun exposure and pollution

• Soothing properties: Royal jelly can also help with skin irritation and redness as it has soothing properties.

Add some of your royal jelly capsule or royal jelly fresh to your cream and apply it well to your skin. In combination with Manuka honey, the effect can be enhanced. Honey is used in the cosmetics industry.

Tip 4: Stay strong!

Remember that your body can also be vulnerable in spring and summer, so you should always support your body. In addition to a balanced diet, nutritional supplements play a major role. The set contains royal jelly capsules, propolis tincture 20% and Manuka honey MGO 400+. In naturopathy, royal jelly is considered a natural source of energy and is rich in essential vitamin B groups, which is of great importance for our body on dull and cloudy days. Propolis and Manuka honey are the combination to support wellbeing from the inside out. With a good routine, these three products can be easily integrated into everyday life: 2 royal jelly capsules on an empty stomach and 1 teaspoon of manuka honey with 1 drop per 10 kg body weight of propolis tincture 20% for breakfast. For children, we always recommend using the alcohol-free propolis tincture; the children's set is best for this.

Tip 5: Moisturize the airways

I have a great recommendation to ensure that your airways don't have any problems in spring: you can use Manuka honey as a gargle solution. Gargle with our propolis mouthwash, or you can add a little manuka honey if you wish. The mouthwash has a soothing effect on the mucous membranes. You can also find the recipe for propolis mouthwash on our blog.

Tip 6: Inhalation

We've known it since we were children: inhale! Did you know that royal jelly is a great inhalant? You can add half a teaspoon of royal jelly to warm/hot water and inhale the steam. This can nourish and strengthen your airways and skin.

My tips to help you get off to a good start in spring. I can recommend with a clear conscience that you incorporate certain routines into your life and everyday routine for spring and the coming summer.
