Dr. Charlie’s Favorite Products For Cold and Flu Prevention – Great for Kids Too!

Beekeeper’s Naturals

We have all been stuck in line or on an airplane next to someone who is clearly sick. Unfortunately, there are not too many sustainable options for keeping yourself healthy in this scenario (besides baseline taking care of yourself and washing your hands). Fortunately, now there is another great layer of protection we can add to aid in staying well – and not it is not a mask.

 

Propolis is a substance made by bees to protect their hive from infection. Specifically, it is a substance designed to coat the inside of their hive with anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. The wisdom of bees far surpasses anything that we can synthetically create. Thanks to Beekeepers’ Naturals, an amazing company due to their ability to create very clean, organic and sustainable bee products, we now have propolis in an easy-to-use nasal spray and throat spray. These are important entry points for infection, so wiping them out immediately is super helpful!

I recommend having these two products on hand to use quickly in a high-risk environment. What defines high-risk is different for everyone. Some may consider this a trip to a grocery store, others just when being directly exposed to someone who is sick, another this may be a crowded airport/concert, etc. I personally recommend the throat spray after my son has been hanging out with sick kids. He loves it and asks for it, which makes it easy and fun.
