12781439, does local honey really help with allergies?

I have never taken it consistantly, what are your experiences?

It will not TREAT allergy symptoms, but it may lessen sensitivities over time. It really depends on what pollen you're allergic to. If it's tree pollens or ragweed, you're not going to find that in your local honey.

I don't know who with real allergies could forgo any other treatment and just do raw honey, so I'm skeptical of anyone who says it does.

but if you are allergic to peanuts..
honey won't help.

12781480, if it helps at all, it'll only help with allergies to flower pollen

which is WAY down there on the list of seasonal allergens. Grass, tree ad ragweed are the ones that fuck most people up.
