Foods - Honey - Ailments / Situations Where Used

Aside from being great for dipping with apples or pouring over yogurt and granola, honey has mild nutritional and medicinal properties.

Honey may help those with allergic rhinitis/hay fever or other environmental allergies. Pollen present in the honey may help desensitize your immune system and reduce allergic reactions. It is best to purchase local honey as it will also contain the allergy-inducing pollen from your area.

Honey also helps heal wounds, soothe an irritated throat, and help fight respiratory distress.
