Ever heard of stuff called Vahar?

Well neither had I. Apparently it's mostly propolis (strong antibiotic properties), beeswax and pollen (beebread?) mixed with oil (usually sunflower oil). Saleslady swore it's good for herpes and  it makes the starting herpes go away in 3 hrs or so - if one applies the cream every 20 minutes. Also recommended for cold sores and extra dry skin. We'll see, at least it smells nice - like honey - and there's no preservatives etc in it. It's made by a couple who keep a bee farm somewhere in Põlva county. Small jar for 50 EEK~ 3,3 EUR.

Sai ostetud uut ja huvitavat kraami koduselveri looduspoest - vaatame, mis tulemused on. Kreemi nimeks vahar ning toodetakse mesitarus leiduvast - mesilasvaha, taruvaik, õietolm segatuna tõiduõliga. Kuna kreemis taruvaik, mil tugev antibakteriaalne ja raviv toime, siis on tõenäoliselt tegu hüva kraamiga. Ja loomulikult - ei sisalda säilitus- ega värvaineid. Soovitatakse ohatistele ja igasugustele nahalõhedele, ka lihtsalt kaitsva kreemina kuivale nahale.

PS! Delfi naistekas oli juttu, et vaha põhjustab pooride ummistumist - mul pole punne juurde tulnud. Ju propolis tasakaalustab. 

In an Estonian beauty forum it was told that beeswax causes pores to clog up - so far I have not noticed. But I do think that all people allergic to honey should keep away from Vahar.
