The Elements in Health
"..all bodies are composed of the four elements (στοιχεἱα), that is, of heat, moisture, the earthy, and air, yet there are mixtures according to natural temperament which make up the natures of all the different animals of the world, each after its kind. Therefore, if one of these elements, heat, becomes predominant in any body whatsoever, it destroys and dissolves all the others with its violence. This defect may be due to violent heat from certain quarters of the sky, pouring into the open pores in too great proportion to admit of a mixture suited to the natural temperament of the body.. if too much moisture enters the channels of a body, and thus introduces disproportion, the other elements, adulterated by the liquid, are impaired, and the virtues of the mixture dissolved. This defect, in turn, may arise from the cooling properties of moist winds and breezes blowing upon the body.. predominance of the earthy being due to overmuch food, that of air to a heavy atmosphere." (Vitruvius)

"Nature has four seasons and five elements. To grant long life, these seasons and elements must store up the power of creation in cold, heat, dryness, moisture, and wind.. transformed into joy, anger, sympathy, grief & fear.. joy and anger are injurious to the spirit just as cold and heat are injurious to the body. Violent anger depletes Yin; violent joy depletes Yang.. When Yang is the stronger, people can endure winter but not summer. When Yin is the stronger, the body is cold and covered with perspiration.. Their stomachs can no longer digest food.. When Yin is stronger, people can endure summer but not winter.. If one does not know how to use this knowledge, his life will be doomed to early decay.. the ancient sages did not rush into the affairs of the world. In their pleasures and joys they were dignified and tranquil.. and did not bend their will or ambition to the achievement of empty ends. Thus their allotted span of life was without limit, like that of heaven and earth." (Qi Bo & the Yellow Emperor)

* Research proved that the presence of propolis increased the immune system of the bee hive as a whole. Therefore natural bee hives (having more propolis) had better immunity than man made hives in boxes. The bees don't eat propolis.
* If you have a sore throat you can sleep with some propolis on your mouth.
* To make Propolis tincture: 250g Propolis combined with 500ml of a 70% Alcohol are mixed together and shaken each day for a month. After a month the ingredients can be put into through coffee filter for straining.
