As the weather gets more pleasant in anticipation of warm summer months, it's hard to ignore the honeybees out in a buzzing orchestra as they move blissfully from one brightly colored, fragrant flower to the next. We are taught at a very young age to recognize these special buzzing insects and many are familiar with the words "nectar" and “pollen,” but how many times do we walk past this vital interaction without giving it a second thought? Don’t leave it up to the bees! Discover the incredible energy-boosting, wellness benefits of flower pollen extracts.
Pollen: An Ancient Healer
With the advent of flowering plants nearly 150 million years ago in evolutionary history, a delicate balance has been created in the ecosystem uniting plants and insects at the genesis of the food chain. Pollen is gathered as honeybees visit the flowers of seed-bearing plants collecting nectar. Human use of pollen can be traced to documentation 2,000 years ago by Egyptian physicians, who praised the substance as “the universal healer.” Its use has been vast in medicinal practices across global cultures including those in Greece, Italy, Russia and throughout the Middle East, where various nutritious and healing forms of pollen are revered as sacred. As a time-proven method for boosting energy and supporting immune function, traditional healers found that the substance drew the body back into a state of homeostasis. It was thus an accessible resource that could broadly correct a multitude of diverse health concerns, from depression to constipation to reproductive issues.
One might think that with the advent of modern allopathic medicine and advanced supplementation products, such an old therapeutic modality as flower pollen would be unnecessary and ineffective. But think again! In a modern world filled with toxins, emissions, foods and lifestyle patterns that threaten our bodily balance, the neutralizing powers of superfoods like flower pollen could not be more needed! While traditional cultures used the substance based on experiential validity, science has now identified that pollen granules contain many nutritional ingredients including essential amino acids, minerals, enzymes/coenzymes and a medley of phytonutrients, vitamins, hormones and fatty acids! Unlike synthetic or crystalline supplements that are unable to be metabolized by the body, flower pollen and flower pollen extracts in their natural state offer powerful and wide-ranging effects in magically small doses. Thus modern individuals can also benefit from the deep detoxifying and immuno-regulatory benefits that this substance has to offer.
