Allergy Problems? Try Eating Local Honey

While no formal studies have concluded honey reduces allergies, some people have fought their seasonal discomfort for decades by eating honey on a daily basis.

How does it work?

The most accepted theory is that the honey works like a vaccination, triggering an immune system response. The body thinks it’s being invaded, so it produces antibodies to fight off the pollen.

As for how “local” the honey needs to be, experts suggest that the closer to your proximity, the better.
