In many cases, people who suffer from seasonal allergies are willing to do just about anything to get some relief. No one wants to be stuck dealing with itchy eyes, sneezing, a runny nose and a sore throat throughout the spring and summer, so it's not uncommon for people to experiment with different remedies until they find something that works for them.
If you're hoping for a natural way to prevent irritating and debilitating symptoms, POPSUGAR Fitness suggests eating local honey.
"The reason honey may help with seasonal allergies is because honey contains a bit of pollen from plants," states the source. "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."
In addition to being good for your allergies, honey has a number of other potential health benefits. Green lifestyle website Care2 states that it has antioxidants that can reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease and that eating a spoonful of it is known to help with coughs.
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, you may want to try eating honey as a natural remedy. Keep in mind that there are plenty of other ways that you can prevent symptoms, too. By investing in allergenic bedding, you can reduce the amount of irritants that get trapped in your bed, thus limiting your exposure to common household allergens.
