Alternative
Local Honey
for Hay Fever
Locally-produced honey eaten regularly in the belief that trace pollen exposure builds tolerance to seasonal allergens.
How it works
Theorized to work like informal oral immunotherapy via trace pollen content, though commercial honey pollen content is typically too low and non-specific to match a person's actual airborne allergen exposure.
What to watch for
Not shown to work in controlled trials — commercial honey pollen content is typically too low and non-specific to desensitize against a person's actual airborne allergens. Never give honey to children under 12 months.
