Propolis Tincture

Propolis is a chemically complex sticky “glue” collected from beehives. It contains resins collected from the buds and leaves of plants, volatile oils, and wax. This tincture made from raw unrefined propolis from local NY apiaries. 

To extract as much goodness out of the propolis as possible we use 190 proof organic cane alcohol during the maceration process at a 1:4 ratio and then dilute with distilled water to bring the alcohol percentage down to 90 proof/45% (akin to normal drinking vodka) after 8 weeks. Due to its resinous nature, this allows the greatest extraction of propolis' benefits without the worry of high proof alcohol consumption. The final product has been filtered to remove as much sediment and plant material as possible, but due to its nature has a tendency to settle.

All of our tinctures are cold processed, organic, and lovingly made by hand on our farm.

Amber dropper bottles are available in either 1 or 2oz.

Directions for use: Shake bottle before use as ingredients tend to settle. Adults can take ~30 drops (or a dropperful) of tincture added to water or another beverage up to three times a day. This amount should be halved for children and this should not be given to children under 3 due to the alcohol content.
