I know that I’m not the only one suffering from allergies this Summer. I generally try to avoid medication because they either wind me up like a spastic toy or immediately knock me out cold. Either way, I hate the effects of them.
But you can also overcome many of the problems of Summer allergies by eating local honey. Basically, you are building up your system’s defenses against allergens in your environment, since you’re taking it in after the bees have processed it–kind of like a hive-made vaccine. If you can’t find local honey, raw honey would be a good alternative.
