Prairie Doctor Echinacea, Propolis and Goldenseal Throat Spray

Have you heard of the incredible healing properties propolis, echinecia and goldenseal? 

Propolis is a natural resin-like substance that honeybees make. They collect sap from tree buds, bark, and other plant sources, then mix it with beeswax and their own enzymes. The result is a sticky material used to seal gaps in the hive, protect against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and strengthen the hive structure.

For humans, propolis has been used for centuries in natural medicine. It’s thought to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. People often use it in tinctures, sprays, lozenges, or ointments for things like sore throats, minor wounds, skin irritations, and boosting immune health. 

Echinacea is a flowering plant often used in herbal medicine, especially for immune support. May help reduce the duration and severity of colds and flu. The herb supports the immune system by stimulating white blood cell activity. This amazing plant contains antioxidants that protect cells from damage and may reduce inflammation in the body.

Goldenseal is a herb that is high in an active compound called berabine.  Berabine is a powerful compound that can provide many health benefits but DOES come with precautions for anyone pregnant or anyone taking certain medications such as blood thinners or antibiotics.  Talk to a doctor before taking any herbal remedies. Also be careful if you have any underlying heart, liver or kidney problems.
