About beeswax

Wax produces builder bees in the form of flakes on the abdominal side of the buttock. It is the basic building material in a hive, and the bees with it also hang the fetus and supplies. Color may range from almost white to dark brown. It contains about 15 compounds.

 

Wax is used as a base for ointments and creams. It supports absorption, causes softness and smoothness of the skin. Warm wax tiles are used for rheumatic complaints and muscle spasms. Chewing wax - ideally from the lids - activates saliva and gastric juices.

 

Significant is the use of ear and body candles.

 

Wax very willingly accepts and accumulates foreign matter. That is why a virgin wax or wax from the lids is used in apiterapies.

 

Wax should not be used during pregnancy, hypersensitivity to light, swelling of unknown origin, severe circulatory disorders, open wounds and bleeding, severe and acute inflammation of the skin.
