A hint for readers from Europe:
You may wonder what "raw honey" means. Honey in Europe normally is always raw - even many products from the supermarkets. Row honey is a marketing name in the US, the correct term should be "unprocessed honey".
If you are living in Europe, simply buy honey from your next beekeeper. It's unprocessed and raw!
@arbitrarykitten: Do you know how much and how often do you need to ingest honey? Are there studies which amount helps people with allergies?
There are studies. One prominent one says to take one tablespoon a day, but I personally drink at least two huge cups of tea a day- and I put two or three heaping tablespoons of honey in each. I used to have horrible spring grass allergies, they were so bad I would end up getting bronchitis from the allergy each year! But since I learned about this in 2009 I only use unprocessed local honey and barely see any symptoms on the worst days.
Each human is different so you have to adjust to your own body :) But, as you build up an immunity I imagine you can use a bit less each day. But I don't want to lol, plus honey has so many other health benefits!
... and the best part: It's very delicious :)
Thanks, i will try it next year. Then you really had severe problems with your allergy. Thankfully you found a "cure"!
Tea is a good idea, what tea do you recommend to drink with honey. I think fennel could be nice and black tea of course.
I wonder if drinking my own mead (made with unprocessed honey) has the same effects. I can imaging that the alcohol kills a lot of the honey benefits but I'm not sure. I should be save if I do both - tea and mead :D
I'm a just starting out wine maker! Mead! Yum!
I don't know... They say the alcohol process for wine makes it better for the heart and blood- ups the health benefits...
I say to be on the safe side drink both ;)
I drink a variety of teas. My fav is apricot vanilla white. I don't care too much for black tea, but green, white, red and herbal are always in my arsenal :)
