I've heard that bee pollen can help with allergies, there are supplements available . Has anyone here ever tried it?
I guess the main concern would be whether or not you are allergic to the bee pollen itself, and I don't think my allergist can test me for that .
Just wondering if anyone here knew anything about it, thanks!
I have bad allergies as well, and it's soooo hard for me to find honey made from local farmers but i've heard its so worth it when you can. The key to the bee's is that they have to be local because the local allergens will be the one you are exposed to. By introducing those bit by bit into your system, you begin to create antibodies and build a resistance to the antigens that your body would otherwise create an allergic response to.
