I can't help but wonder if honey wouldn't have assisted--'completed'--their allergy treatments.<BR/><BR/>It's my secret hayfever weapon too, Eileen!<BR/><BR/>Exactly like you said, the key to success is to get honey locally produced. It will come from plants whose pollen you'll be exposed to. No sense using honey for allergies from across the country that has pollen you'll never encounter.Harriett Broughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318950291241227620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3299215382663922391.post-9544389618440584462008-08-25T11:08:00.000-05:002008-08-25T11:08:00.000-05:00Honey from your local area is great for allergies!...Honey from your local area is great for allergies!<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you writing about it here.
