Local, Raw, Unfiltered Honey

This Sparked Me!

Found either at local farmers or health food stores, raw unfiltered honey that is LOCAL is by far the best thing. I have found that different times of the year, the honey will change due to what flowers and plants are in bloom. Therefore, it helps with seasonal allergies.

MORE INFORMATION:
We always get the kind with the comb in it as well. There are bits of bee pollen and goodies that boost your immune system and overall health.
Since we began eating the type of honey, we have not had a cold or sickness. Not only internally but topically it has great anti-bacterial properties.

    I just heard from a friend that local, raw honey was good for allergies. I had never heard this before, but after reading it here, I'll buy some for my husband to try...

    Just want to add, babies under 12 months of age are cautioned to NOT eat honey due to botulisim scares..BUT my father ate it since birth and was fine and did I. Just use your best judgment. FRESH raw unfiltered honey is generally fine. emoticon
