The power of Propolis

What is Propolis? And what’s so great about it? 
If you’re ever down with a cold or having a really bad sore throat, this is one arsenal you’d want to have.

Propolis is produced by bees and they use it to glue the materials of their hives together by mixing beeswax and other secretions of  resins from the buds of conifers and poplar trees. But truly it’s better used not just for the binding of hives but in the the treatment of burns, minor wounds, ulcers, Candida, infections, inflammations and even herpes. 
For centuries, people have used Propolis as a remedy for acne, itching, tuberculosis and even cancer. 

The reason why it’s used in this myriad of ailments is because Propolis is a proven antibiotic and antiseptic. It doesn’t just guard the beehive against intruders but is also used to treat unwanted health conditions because of its antomicrobial, antioxidative, anti-ulcer and anti-tumor properties. 

Scientists have found that bee Propolis actually contains over 300 natural compounds, including amino acids, coumarins, phenolic aldehydes, polyphenols, sequiterpene quinines and steroids. And the interesting thing about propolis, which is also true for good quality honey, is that its composition is always going to vary depending upon the exact collection time, collection location and plant sources. This causes the color of the honey to vary too.

Since understanding the properties and benefits of Propolis, I started carrying around a bottle of this natural remedy and consuming honey on an almost daily basis. Not only has it helped me stay virus free even when people around where suffering from colds, it soothes my throat really quickly even after I’ve been teaching and talking for 6 hours in a day. Unless you have an allergy to bee product, I do highly recommend keeping this handy and it’s safe even for little children to consume.

This is the brand of Propolis and honey that I use:

My Sculptra Journey with Halley Medical Aesthetics: Final Review (Fourth Visit)

Image
  Since the start of my Sculptra treatment at Halley Medical Aesthetics till the final review with Dr. Terence Tan , I must say I’m very impressed and the results exceeded my expectations. I should point out that I initially didn’t expect much work to be done and was just happy where I was. But the fact is, we don’t know what we don’t know. And that’s why there are experts right? Just like how I’d tell my clients and students that the aches and pains that they feel every day is not normal although they tell themselves that its part and parcel of getting old. I now appreciate so much of what Dr. Terence Tan pointed out to me the first time I stepped in for the first consultation. Because looking at the pictures from my final review months after I did the treatment, I was really blown away (in a good way) with the results. Take a look at where I started and the end result now. I think the images speak for themselves. Before Treatment             After Treatment My jawline is noticeabl

Meridian Facelift at Body Inc.

Nothing beats getting a pampering session done at the end of a long workday. But if it’s one that gives you a face-lifting effect, I think that right about makes it one of the best ways to end the day! I had the chance to receive this pampering treatment at Body Inc. where we were also introduced to the line of products used and carried by the brand. Within their product line is the Happy Series blended oils which are specially formulated using natural and organic remedies.  I got to use the Happy Lash blended oil which not only  removes eye makeup effectively, but after using the oil for the past few days I can actually feel how it doesn’t dry my skin like regular makeup remover does, and it nourishes my skin at the same time. What’s even better about this oil that is rich in Vitamin A, E and Omega-3 is how it also promotes lash and eyebrows growth!  Jacelyn demonstrating the use of the Happy Lash blended oil. Can’t get enough of this blended oil that’s so good for my lashes and brows

The IDS (Innovative Dermatological Solutions) Journey - Third Visit

Laser Treatment with IDS Clinic  Isn't it true? When we see an improvement to our skin over time we can get into the mindset that its good enough and that's the routine that we need to stick to. Contrary to that, our skin is constantly ageing and taking longer to regenerate as we get older. So once in awhile, a little something different can help us potentially see more improvements.  I've never been one for lasers before, and my first time experiencing it was with IDS Clinic this year. Yes I'm in my 40s already and why haven't I tried it you might ask? Well, I'm a chicken when it comes to having laser treatments on my face. Maybe its the scary stories I've heard from the time I was younger, but yeah, that's really the main reason why I never tried it before. Till Dr. Ian Tan from IDS Clinic recommended it as my treatment on my third visit here.  Quite honestly I was a little scared and skeptical, but he assured that it would not be uncomfortable. So
