Honey for Allergies

Even though there are many types of honey, people do tend to seek out local raw honey as both prevention and as a cure for their seasonal allergies such as hay fever and respitory diseases.

Many doctors and beekeepers have long recommended eating our own locally produced honey on a daily basis. By doing this we can actually desensitize ourselves from these irritations.

If you, you poor thing are one of these people who suffer with hay fever, it would benefit you greatly to buy some local honey if there is a supply near you.

If you are lucky enough to have a local farmers market or even a kindly beekeeper near you, this would be an excellent source to seek it out.

An Oklahoma allergist once informed a meeting of 150 beekeepers that this is an effective treatment for 90 per cent of all allergies.

Dr. William G. Peterson, an allergist from Ada in the 1950s, spoke about how he now had well in excess of 22,000 patients across the nation who were using their local raw honey to relieve their allergy symptoms.

He and the many doctors at his clinic advised a daily teaspoon of honey. The honey treatment can continue even after the allergy is under control and ideally you should do this.

More recently, Dr Stephen Reisman, who whilst young, in the 1980s was studying at Med School and noticed huge gaps in conventional medicines.

He met Vicki Jones a long time sufferer of allergies and not just those from pollen. Poor Vicki tried everything on the market for her allergies over a period of 17 years including nasal sprays and nothing worked for her.

Dr Reisman used honey for allergies to treat her, it worked and Vicki is now a very happy girl. You can watch their video below.

Hay fever as most of us know is caused by pollen spores which drift around in the air and basically get up our noses! This can be such an annoying condition, even making us feel quite ill at times.

Theses pollen spores are collected by honey bees as they visit plants and flowers and a certain amount of wind borne pollen can attach itself to their little hairy bodies.

These pollen spores are transferred to the raw honey which is produced in your own local area.

By eating this honey for allergies on a regular basis you can actually desensitize your own body to these irritants. Your system becomes used to them naturally until your body accepts them as normal.

Dr. William G. Peterson advised a teaspoon each day would be sufficient but of course there are many of us, myself included, who could not survive on just one spoonful each day because I like it so much. I eat up to 5 teaspoons each day.

Eat the bee honeycomb too, not all of it in one sitting but the honeycomb is where most of these pollen spores end up.

By eating this part of your raw honey you will consume far more of the irritants that bother you.

Honey for allergies will only work if you eat unfiltered and unpasteurized raw honey.

It must not have been tampered with in anyway, it should always be fresh from the hive.

Over time you should notice less runny eyes, less sneezing and easier breathing which means you can enjoy those beautiful spring days and heady hot summer months instead of dreading them.

You will be able to take long walks in the park, enjoy picnics and of course sniffing the flowers will be a pleasure you thought had been denied you.

Who could doubt eating honey for allergies could be so beneficial and a further health benefits of honey.
