Propolis is extremely effective in preventing illness. Rich in flavonoids, it’s antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial and antioxidant. This oral spray combines it with Manuka honey, clove oil, tincture of myrrh, peppermint oil and aniseed oil as an alternative to medicated sprays that soothe sore throats and boost immunity. Spray 4-5 pumps into the mouth when required.* Propolis is created by bees to seal up the holes in their hives. They make it by mixing resin and sap from trees with beeswax and enzymes. This sticky amber substance then sets rock hard like super glue in the hive’s gaps and helps to protect the colony. In 1839, Mary Bumby brought two beehives from England to New Zealand, introducing honey bees to those Pacific islands for the first time. Here they thrived in the unique landscape, falling in love with the prolific flowers, particularly Manuka. Inspired by this Victorian lady’s pioneering spirit, Rob McConnachie and Hannah Dobbie created 1839 to promote products from the hive and celebrate life. 1839’s products carry a unique QR code so that you can verify its authenticity, the hive it came from and the batch information. So, you are guaranteed that this is the good stuff. *Caution: Propolis can cause some severe allergic reactions in some people. Not suitable for children under the age of two years.
