Hello dear Bob and Bee-L friends,
You should try propolis (raw, tablets, tincture, spray etc.).
Propolis is two times better than aspirin (according to an Oxford
study) so it has very good anti-inflammatory properties + it is very
good antiallergic (because of several factors, including the presence in
it of cvercetin) + it has anti-pain activity too.
You may find it directly in your hives...
References on propolis properties please find in our
Apitherapy Reference Data Base ( www.sci.fi/~apither )
Good luck and stay healthy!!!
Yours,
Stefan Stangaciu, MD, LAcup.
PS 1-2% of the population may present a local reaction (allergy) to
propolis; so, test it first (raw + as tincture) in very small amounts,
on your fore-arm, before you will use it internally.
