The term "tincture" is derived from the Latin word "tinctura" and stands for a liquid extract of a plant or raw materials from animals. The substances are added to an alcoholic solution (usually ethanol) for extraction so that they can infuse with each other. The alcohol dissolves the components of the substances or plants so that the substances and the water- and fat-soluble active ingredients they contain mix and merge. In addition to extraction, the alcohol naturally preserves the finished mixture and conserves it so that it lasts longer. The result is a suspension or tincture. A distinction is made between two forms of tincture: 1. tinctura simplex → simple tincture; a plant or inorganic substance is used for the preparation 2. tinctura composita → compound tincture; different substances (plant, inorganic) are combined for the preparation The tinctures have been particularly popular in medicine and pharmacies, so a wide variety of tinctures are used for a wide variety of needs. The forms of application are different and individual. For external use, they can be applied directly to the skin and rubbed in.

Propolis is known as the bee putty resin that the bees use for insulation and repair work when building the hive. The propolis keeps out unwanted visitors and other insects. The seal prevents moisture and bacteria from entering the hive and the returning bees also use the propolis as a kind of disinfectant. By rubbing the propolis at the entrance, the bees are disinfected and the bacteria remain outside the hive. For this reason, propolis is said to have a disinfecting effect. The propolis produced by the bees also contains important nutrients such as calcium and zinc. The best known and therefore most practical form of propolis is tincture (propolis tincture). Many beekeepers who own their own hives are often unaware of the significance of the bee product propolis. In many cases, this bee resin plays too small a role alongside honey. The propolis produced by the bees is collected by the beekeeper so that it can be reused. Bee resin or propolis is a solid and slightly brittle product. To turn it into a propolis tincture, the organic substance must be extracted with ethanol. During extraction, the solid propolis is transformed with the alcohol into a suspension, the propolis tincture. This tincture contains the nutrients and active ingredients of the propolis. Most propolis tinctures are fitted with a pipette cap. The pipette enables dosing with drops. These drops are a great advantage for the propolis tincture, as the drops can be applied more precisely to the desired area and dosed better. You can buy propolis tincture in different sizes, and the percentage of propolis in the alcohol (ethanol) also varies. The best-known tinctures have a propolis content of 10%, 20% and 30%. You can buy 10% and organic 20% propolis tincture from us.
