​Propolis – Nature’s Defender in a Bottle

Propolis is one of nature’s most powerful protectors — a gift from the beehive that has supported human health for centuries. Often called “bee glue,” propolis is a resinous substance collected by honeybees from tree buds and bark. Bees use it to seal and sterilise their hives, protecting the colony from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. For us, it offers similar benefits — supporting the immune system, fighting infections, and promoting overall wellbeing.
 
Why Propolis Is So Special
Propolis contains a unique mix of natural compounds including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and essential oils — all known for their strong antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Scientific studies have linked propolis to:

• Immune support: Helps the body fight off seasonal infections and strengthens natural resistance.
• Oral and throat health: Soothes sore throats and supports healthy gums.
• Skin healing: Promotes recovery from minor cuts, burns, and blemishes thanks to its natural antimicrobial action.
• Antioxidant protection: Helps combat oxidative stress and supports healthy ageing.

 
How to Take It
Our Old Cottage Honey Max Strength Extract of Propolis is highly concentrated — a few drops are all you need. For daily wellness, add it to a glass of water, juice, or tea. It can also be taken directly on a spoon or mixed with honey for a smoother taste. During times of seasonal stress or when your immune system needs extra support, you can increase the frequency as needed.
 
Crafted the Old Cottage Honey Way – Alcohol-Free and Full of Goodness
Unlike most propolis extracts made with alcohol, our method makes this natural remedy suitable for everyone, including those who avoid alcohol for health or personal reasons.
 
We use a two-step process that begins with a traditional alcohol extraction to fully unlock the beneficial compounds found in raw propolis. Then, the alcohol is gently removed and replaced with pure vegetable glycerin, resulting in a potent, alcohol-free propolis glycerite — gentle yet powerful, preserving all the natural goodness without compromise.
 
Pure. Potent. Irish.
Every drop of Old Cottage Honey propolis extract is made from Irish propolis gathered from healthy, thriving hives. It’s crafted in small batches to ensure maximum potency and purity, with no artificial additives, colours, or preservatives — just the natural strength of propolis as the bees made it.
 
If you’re looking for a natural way to support your immune system, soothe your throat, or simply strengthen your everyday wellness, Old Cottage Honey Max Strength Extract of Propolis is nature’s perfect ally.
