Honey
When you’re suffering from allergy symptoms such as an itchy throat and a runny nose, it’s often a good idea to take a teaspoon of honey to help ease the overall symptoms. It’s not necessarily a home remedy for allergic reactions as it is for coughs and sore throats. However, there is an interesting correlation between honey and allergies, as the bees use pollen to make the honey. Some researchers suggest that taking in honey has the added benefit of potentially making things easier for the body, at least as far as the pollen allergy goes. As pollen allergy is usually the most common, natural healers suggest eating more honey to develop more resistance against pollen allergy.
Whether such a theory works, the results aren’t definitive. It’s not easy to tell, as honey usually helps with allergy symptoms due to how it coats the throat. As a result, it has a potential dual benefit for the body. Not only will it help ease allergy symptoms, but it could also potentially build your resistance to the allergen by eating more honey.
