Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi Natasa, We tried it years ago, not as essential oil though, without any noticeable beneficial affect, but I think we are probably dealing with a different metabolism/genetics to you (if I've read your earlier posts correctly).

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 thanks , do you use oral forms? have you seen any effects on gut function at all (bacteria, yest etc). We use the cream all the time for cuts bruises acne etc. helps with muscle cramps here too. I'd love to try oral forms now mainly for this reported anti-anxiety effect. n > > > > > > > > a post on another list prompted me to look into propolis > > supplementation > > > > again (has been on my list of things to try for a long time, but > > never > > > > got round to it?).
