I was watching an Episode of Planet Greens Emeril Green. A great cooking show with Emeril Lagasse filmed at Whole Foods. In the Episode entitled Keeping it Local, they talked about how eating a tablespoon of local honey can help alleviate allergy symptoms.
After a little research, I found this article that goes into detail about using local honey to help with allergies.
“The reason honey may help with seasonal allergies is because honey contains a bit of pollen from plants. So if you eat the sweet treat that is made by bees in the area where you live, the honey will often act as an immune booster, reducing your allergy symptoms to local flowering plants. It’s a good idea to take two to three spoonfuls each day for several months prior to pollen season”
