Apparently a spoonful of honey is meant to help people with hayfever, particularly if they start taking it well before pollen season kicks in.

If you buy local honey, it’s supposed to be even better as it contains the pollen that is affecting you.

“Opt for multi-floral honey as that will contain a good mix of pollens. Avoid heather or borage mono-floral honeys.” John Howat, secretary of the Bee Farmers Association of the UK, told The Telegraph.

Sound advice.
