How to Beat This Flu Season’s Sore Throat

This flu season is bringing some of the worst sore throats in years. Propolis blocks viruses, damages bacteria, and calms inflammation - while honey and menthol cool and protect the throat before soreness ever starts.

This flu season isn’t just about fevers and congestion. Experts are already warning that we’re seeing the worst sore throats in years — the kind that feels raw, swollen, and relentless. The good news? There’s a natural and highly effective way to stop sore throats before they take hold.

The secret is propolis!

Propolis is a resin collected by bees and used to protect their hives from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. When used in humans, it does something remarkable: it prevents viruses from adhering to throat tissue and actively damages bacteria by disrupting their cell walls. In simple terms, it makes it harder for infections to take hold in the first place.

On top of that, propolis contains over 300 antioxidants. These antioxidants help calm inflammation, reduce swelling, and prevent the throat from becoming red and painful –  which is often what turns a mild irritation into a full-blown sore throat.

Propolis isn’t just for illness, either. If your throat gets sore from overuse like talking all day, or singing, it still works by soothing inflammation and protecting the delicate tissue in the throat.

To make it even more effective, you should pair propolis with honey.

Honey is one of the best natural throat protectants we have. It coats the throat, reduces irritation, and creates a physical barrier that protects inflamed tissue. When combined with menthol, it adds a cooling effect that feels like a small fire extinguisher for your throat — calming pain almost immediately.

The best approach is a two-part system:

  • One propolis spray focused on immune support
  • One throat-cooling spray with honey, propolis, and menthol

Use the cooling spray as needed when your throat feels irritated –  two sprays whenever the throat feels hot or raw. For prevention, use the immune-support propolis spray one spray, four times a day to keep viruses and bacteria from ever getting comfortable.

This combination is natural, safe for daily use, and extremely effective. If you want to stay healthy and avoid the miserable sore throats this flu season is known for, this is the strategy you’ll want to follow!
