Checking the cupboard to see if I still have any local honey. Going to try that along with everything else for these allergies. (forgot all about it!)
The thing about using honey to treat allergies is that just like antihistamines, you need to start using it several months before allergy season starts. I use it every day.
Raw honey has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties. It promotes body and digestive health, is a powerful antioxidant, strengthens the immune system, eliminates allergies, and is an excellent remedy for skin wounds and all types of infections. Raw honey's benefits don't stop there. Raw honey can also stabilize blood pressure, balance sugar levels, relieve pain, calm nerves, and it has been used to treat ulcers. Raw honey is also an expectorant and anti-inflammatory and has been known to effectively treat respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and asthma.
Raw honey purchased from a local source is an excellent way of treating seasonal allergies. Local honey is preferred for treating allergies because the likelihood is great that it will contain small amounts of the specific pollens an individual may be allergic to.
To treat allergies, take a teaspoon of raw honey a couple of times a day starting a few months prior to allergy season.
Got a feeling it ain't near over.
