Local Honey

A recent visit to a local pediatrician yielded the following advice: if you want your allergy prone kids to be healthier, buy and consume local honey. Consider the logic: the bees are collecting nectar from the very plants that are making you sneeze and sniffle.

It has also been used as an antiseptic or ointment for skin rashes and a great skin moisturizer. To get the benefits for seasonal allergies, you want to consume local raw honey, not honey that is heat treated. I like mine best in tea or just drizzled on my toast in the morning. It's also great on waffles.
