HERBAMEL with Lemon and Propolis has an excellent expectorant action that is conferred with the presence of lemon extract. The antibiotic power of propolis helps the organism combat infections and fortifies ones natural immunity system. For these characteristics alone, this product is recommended for those wanting to relieve problems of the bronchioles and aerial ways.

It is very probable that the lemon tree is the best-known fruit and used throughout the world. There are such a lot of uses for this fruit in domestic life that it’s difficult to enumerate them. Every bit of the lemon is utilized.

The Lemon tree comes from Asia, is an average sized tree of medium stature, and which reaches about 4 mt. in height, with a straight trunk, a dense crown and round-shaped. The fruit, rich in Vitamin C and mineral salts (calcium, phosphorus and iron) presents various varieties, but in general, all lemons have the same similar aspect, changing only the size and texture of the rind (skin) which can be smooth or wrinkled. At Uniflora we utilize the leaves and stalks of the Siparuna apiosyce, more popularly as wild lemon, to prepare the extract, which is added to the honey. It is these parts of the plant, which contain the compounds responsible for the principal feats credited to the lemon: Expectorant and antiseptic.

Propolis is a resinous and balsamic substance, which possesses diverse coloration and consistency, varying from a brown to dark green color. It is produced by bees from the shoots and resinous parts of the plant, and is utilized in the beehive’s interior to "weld" the honeycomb, to varnish the capsules, close off cracks and openings to avoid cold winds coming in, and principally to shut out their natural enemies: fungi and bacterium. It is also used to embalm small dead animals which the bees cannot expel from the hive, and thus avoid putrefaction.

The chemical composition of propolis depends on the botanic ecology of each region, but in general is made up of 50% resin and balsam (balm), 30% is wax, 10% is aromatic and essential oils, 5% is pollen and 5% various other substances. Up to now more than 200 chemical compounds have been identified in propolis, such as flavonoids, aromatic acids and terpenoids, aldeids, alcohols, aliphatic and ester acids, amino acids, steroids, sugars etc. Intense studies with propolis suggest these compounds are responsible for their diverse physiological actions: anti-micro biotic (functions as a natural antibiotic), anti-inflammatory, healing, anti-fungal, anesthetic and antioxidant.

At Uniflora we use only selected propolis, which is obtained, by using up-to-the-minute equipment to insure high quality and a high concentration of extract. Our laboratories analyze the extract compound that is obtained and prepares a "blend" in order to obtain a uniform propolis extract, which is then used in the elaboration of our products. The quality of our propolis extract is controlled by the use of the following parameters: grade of flavonoids, degree of Brix, percentage of dry material, alcohol graduation and its density.

The honey is produced by bees from the nectar in flowers. It is a rich, nutritive food, which presents mainly sugars in its composition, of rapid assimilation by the organism, together with mineral salts (potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, etc.) amino-acids, enzymes and vitamins. It has the following properties: expectorant, fluidity, a healing process and as an anti-septic.

The honey used at Uniflora comes from registered producers, with constant surveillance in their production to guarantee maximum quality. All lots received are rigorously analyzed, not only with reference to its purity, but also the hygienic conditions of the extract, which gives the quality to its product.

The extracts of plants utilized in the production of blended honeys are obtained by utilizing a vehicle extractor (ethanol). The addition of these extracts to the honey leaves the final product with a small quantity of alcohol that is then graduated. The higher the alcohol graduation, the higher quantity of alcohol there is in the product.

We give below the various references of our product "Honey with lemon and propolis."

To evaluate the quantity of alcohol present in a product, we can make a comparison with beer, widely consumed in our daily lives.

1 soup-spoon of HERBAMEL with lemon and propolis….………….…...…0.6g of alcohol

1 glass of beer (200 ml)………………………………………………………10g of alcohol

One dose of Herbamel has 16 times less alcohol than a glass of beer.

The jars should be stored in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.

Care in temperature control should also be exercised and is recommended, since high temperatures (over 45º C) can alter some of the characteristics of honey and the additional extracts, thus diminishing its vigor in the organism, and low temperatures favor (and accelerate) the natural process of crystallization of the honey, which does not actually hinder the properties of the product, but requires the heating under a hot-water-bath to un-crystallize the product.

This product remains in perfect condition for 2 years after its production date.

Do not consume this product after the recommended "use by" or expiry date.
