Honey, so sweet, so good (for you)

Got Allergies, put some raw local honey on your tongue. Allergy season is coming for many and now is the time to add a little sweetness to your life and fight allergies at the same time. Consuming raw local honey (local to you, not me) can help control allergies caused by pollen from grasses, plants and flowers. The honey contains the offending allergens called antigens that usually cause your eyes to itch, nose to run, or skin to erupt. Consuming it in small quantities changes the effect of the allergens on your body. Your body can become accustomed to the offending antigens, preventing the need for a systemic immune reaction. It's a process called anergy. Your immune system is exposed to the antigens in small doses becomes used to them and builds a resistance to them. Take small amounts initially and then continue with about 1 teaspoon daily throughout the season.

Also effective for allergies are
Glutathione and Vitamin C - mast cell stabilizers which means they minimize the histamine response to allergens and therby decrease symptoms
Freeze dried stinging nettle
Garlic, onions, cod liver oil, and flax seed oil are all anti-inflammatory
Avoid mucogenic foods (snot producing) like dairy, sugar and processed/refined flour products.

Be well.
