Most of the first hits in Google on ‘propolis myrrh’ bring up sites for Tom’s of Maine toothpaste.
So here is more “information” on the two from Tom’s of Maine:
“Propolis & Myrrh: Two Special Herbal Resins. Propolis is a mixture of tree resins, rich in
bioflavinoids, which bees collect to line their hives. Myrrh is an astringent plant resin traditionally
found in dentifrices.”
Here’s some reading on propolis:
http://www.fao.org/docrep/w0076e/w0076e14.htm#5.1
“A Cuban study suggests that the plant resins collected are at least partially metabolized by bees.
The presence of sugars also suggests some metabolization by bees, i.e. as a result of adding
saliva during both scraping and chewing”
Merry Christmas to all:
