Mothernest Propolis Lozenges with Eucalyptus & Manuka Honey 400g

Overview

Mothernest Propolis Lozenges with Eucalyptus & Manuka Honey are a carefully balanced fusion of nature’s most trusted ingredients for immune and throat health. Made with Australian MGO 600+ Manuka Honey, Propolis, and cooling Eucalyptus, these lozenges provide a soothing solution for individuals seeking relief from sore throat symptoms and everyday throat discomfort.

How Was It Discovered?

Each of these ingredients has deep roots in natural wellness. Propolis, also known as ‘bee glue’, has been used in folk medicine for thousands of years due to its protective and antimicrobial properties. Manuka Honey, produced by bees that feed on the Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium), is prized for its high methylglyoxal (MGO) content—a compound that contributes to its antibacterial effect. Eucalyptus and menthol have been traditionally used to soothe and refresh the respiratory system.

What Is Its Role in the Human Body?

• Propolis acts as a natural antimicrobial, helping reduce oral bacteria and support a healthy immune response.
• Manuka Honey is known to promote wound healing and support immune health. Its MGO rating indicates its ability to help fight against harmful microorganisms.
• Eucalyptus Oil provides a cooling effect that may help reduce throat irritation, while Menthol offers a soothing, decongestant sensation.

What Foods Is It Naturally Found In?

• Propolis is not found in food and is produced by bees using plant resins.
• Manuka Honey is a monofloral honey native to Australia and New Zealand.
• Eucalyptus leaves are used in oils and herbal teas, not typically consumed raw.
