The Pollen Count is Rising!

The pollen count is rising!! Hopefully, you are not suffering, but if you are, do you want to know about a natural remedy? Local honey!

Local honey is produced by bees in your area, using nectar from local flowers. Unlike commercially processed honey, local honey retains trace amounts of pollen from these flowers. It's believed that consuming small amounts of this local pollen through honey can help desensitize your immune system to local allergens over time.

*Note: Honey should never be given to infants under 1 year of age due to the risk of infant botulism.*
