My little brother was severely asthmatic. My mom went to a local honey bee farm and got several jars for his asthma and my allergies. It worked.
My allergist says that eating a teaspoon of honey a day actually does help with allergies.
He, of course, said it wasn’t as effective as allergy shots, but for those whom allergy shots did not help, honey was terrific.
Mr. mm had the worst allergies I had ever seen when we were dating and first married.
We moved to CNY and several things changed. He was away from the family dog, his mom’s cigarette smoke, and the city pollution. We also found a source for very local honey and he started eating it regularly on his toast.
His allergies today are a fraction of what they were. He had tried the allergy shots and was so sensitive to them that he could not get enough serum to provoke the right kind of immune response and so after a couple years , he quit taking them. But later in life, the honey worked.
