CARAMELOS PROPÓLEO Y MENTOL

Propolis

Propolis is an apicultural product that bees make with the resins and secretions of certain trees - especially conifers - located near the apiary. Propolis is a material that protects the hive and preserves the environment, with remarkable balsamic and anti-infective virtues. In its highly varied chemical composition, propolis contains aromatic oils, resins, balsams and pollen. Menthol causes a sensation of freshness and a certain analgesic effect that synergizes the antitussive action.

Properties
The chemical composition of propolis is very complex; it has around three hundred different components, many of which have different properties. Numerous scientific studies point out the benefits of propolis while identifying flavonoids as the ones responsible for said benefits, mainly on microorganisms, as a pain reliever and also as regards tissue repairs in cases of burns and injuries. Other outstanding benefits are the prevention of respiratory tract infections, making it an effective protector of the throat and vocal cords, as well as for the treatment of canker sores and oral abscesses.

SUPPORT IN EVERY SEASON

HOW DO YOU ENJOY EACH SEASON OF THE YEAR?

Summer

Summer is undoubtedly the time of year that invites us to enjoy the sun. That is the reason why it is essential to add and reinforce skin care, especially if we decide to spend time in the sun. It is possible to achieve a healthy tan in summer.

Winter

With winter comes respiratory discomfort and usually a sore throat. It is common to feel these discomforts if we neglect our health: protecting our throat from the cold and avoiding sudden temperature changes are habits that should be adopted during this time of year.

The beach

Who doesn’t enjoy a relaxing time at the beach? But in order to enjoy it and feel good afterwards, we should protect our skin to avoid redness and burns, which are not only annoying at the time but also cause permanent damage to our skin. Let's also remember that hydration is essential if we spend too many hours in these places.

The mountains

This is an excellent option for vacations. But we must protect our skin in these places too; snow is a risky element because its white color reflects ultraviolet light from the sun and causes damage to our skin.

Outdoors

Being outdoors is healthy, but we should also be careful here to enjoy it to the fullest. The wind, sun, cold, and heat can be present outdoors; therefore, it is necessary to protect our skin from the sun, and our throat from the cold and the wind.
