  you have to take about two tsps a day, apparently, and build it up over months - is thatwhat you did?

poor you.

I think I tried it for a week or two cos that's what I heard. Didn't do a thing.

Antihistamines help, though. But they make me even drowsier.

[Lucifer]

your immune system won't work that quickly.  might be worth trying it starting now, for next year.

I don't like honey enough to keep at it for a year.

[Lucifer]

you can disguise it in other food.  think of it as medicine: might not be something you like, but if it does the job...

I started by adding some raw, unprocessed forest honey to my breakfast stuff each day.  I don't think it was hayfever season when it started, but when hayfever season eventually came around, I didn't get stuffed up like I usually did.  A lot of honey is heated to extract it from the comb, and that denatures the pollen, so look for raw stuff.  Forest honey's my favourite, since it has a much richer flavour than single-flower honeys like lavander and so on, and usually I get the ones made by this company.  It's cheap too.

I'll have to have a look again, then. Thank you.

I didn't like honey when I started either, but I quickly got used to it and started to like it.  Some honey can have quite a harsh taste, and I find raw tropical forest honey to be particularly pleasant, and I also prefer clear honey over set honey.

Mum gets me the Tropical Forest honeys from the delicatessen down the road.  The darker they are, the more I like them; she got one that was from Madagascar once, which was so dark it looked like treacle and tasted a bit like treacle too, and it was the best I've ever tried.  They only had it that once too.

i get mine from morrison's, would you believe?  cheaper still.

Got stood up on a sales appointment she called later and said she thought it was Friday

I've tried that. Doesn't work, unfortunately.

And today was pure hell, allergy-wise.

You've tried local honey?

I can't afford OUR local honey, unfortunately. There aren't many bee keepers here and there is very little fresh honey available.

I used to eat lots of citrus honey when I lived near citrus trees. It works! I learned about this from the crystal and pyramid people in the seventies.

[odeon]

I think the honey was local... somebody suggested it, or I read about it, or something...

I guess it's a bit late for this year, but there's a next year, too. Today was worse than yesterday.

[Lucifer]

indeed - see my post above.

you could try it anyway: it certainly won't do any harm, and if it works, it's a bonus.
