Seasonal allergies got you down?
Try Local Honey!
Honey contains bits of pollen. When it is local honey, it contains pollen from the same plants causing all that trouble. Eating honey produced locally can act as an immune booster! A few teaspoons a day can help keep those allergies away.
Honey is also an antimicrobial so can be used to help treat cuts and burns and even reduces scarring. Just slather a little on the affected area.
Honey also contains antioxidants, vitamins C and B6, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin and minerals like copper, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. And it will last in your cupboard… or medicine cabinet for years. Because it is slightly acidic it doesn’t go bad.
So get yourself some local honey, get rid of those sniffles, take in some wonderful vitamins and minerals and help support a local farmer!
Live Well!
