Honey has been used for centuries for its healing properties and sweet flavor. Honey is sweeter than table sugar and much better for you. When possible, it’s best to buy locally grown, organic, raw honey. This will be produced by bees in or near the environment you live. Consuming foods from the area you live is beneficial as they contain the immune stimulating properties needed for your body to adapt to its environment.
Seasonal allergy sufferers can experience relief as well as reap health benefits from raw honey. Why raw honey? The theory behind how honey works is the same principle as "vaccinations". The idea behind eating local honey is like gradually vaccinating the body against allergens, a process called immunotherapy. Local Honey contains a variety of the same pollen spores that give allergy suffers their symptoms. Introducing theses spores into the body in small amounts by eating local honey should make the body accustomed to their presence and decrease the chance an immune system response will occur, producing unpleasant allergy symptoms.
