What is Bee Pollen?

Bee Pollen is a natural, holistic remedy made by honeybees. The bees gather pollen and nectar from the best flowers in our environment. They then take them back to their hive and pack this goodness into pellets.
It is stated as being one of the most nutritionally rich foods on our planet which contains nearly all the nutrients needed in our diet for your health and wellbeing. The abundance of nutrients include: vitamins B1, B2 B5, B6, B12, C, D, calcium, iron, zinc and many more. It is also a Superfood. 

Bee Pollen can be used medicinally for a wide range of conditions from skin conditions, to hayfever, as well as help correct specific nutritional imbalances in the body and much, much more.

Here are just a few reasons to add bee pollen to your daily regime:

* Improves skin - the amino acids and vitamins protect the skin and aid regeneration of cells, therefore, helping its general appearance.

* Energy Enhancer - the range of nutrients found in bee pollen makes it a natural energiser. The proteins and vitamins can help keep you going all day by enhancing stamina and fighting off fatigue.

* Treats allergies - aids everything from asthma to allergies to sinus problems, not to mention hayfever as it is the natural antidote for this awful condition. We often refer to bee pollen as 'hayfever fixer'.

* Aids respiratory problems - bee pollen is wonderfully effective against a wide range of respiratory conditions due to the high quality of antioxidants that may have anti-inflammatory effect on the tissues of the lungs, preventing the onset of asthma. On a personal note, since using bee pollen I have not used an inhaler for approximately 7 years - previously it was x2 daily. Please note, this is due to continual use and not just 1 jar!!

* Improves digestion - as well as the numerous nutrients found in bee pollen, it also contains enzymes that aids digestion. These assist our bodies in getting all the nutrients from the food we eat.

* Immune system booster - bee pollen is good for intestinal flora, as well as this it has antibiotic properties that can help protect the body from viruses. It is also rich in anti-oxidants that protects the cells from the damaging oxidation of free radicals.

* Hormonal issues - it stimulates and restores ovarian function which can assist in getting pregnant.  It is known to assist in enhancing your mood, an anti-depressant, as well as aids diminish negative effects of stress. As well as being a hormonal booster, and  it is also an aphrodisiac!!

There are so many other reasons I could list here, some personal and some not so personal, either way, I think you get the picture!! It basically helps everything and by taking just x1 teaspoon per day it can help your health and wellbeing on so many levels, I have no idea why so many people do not use it!

And... the good news is beekeepers are able to remove pollen from the hives without harming the bees.

 I am a huge advocate of natural remedies from the beehive.

Here's to being 'healthy from the inside out'.
