Welcome to today’s podcast! Let's talk about allergies and a common misconception: the idea that honey can cure them. According to a recent article from Vox, honey certainly has many soothing benefits, but it won't stop your seasonal allergies.

Every spring, millions of people suffer from the symptoms of allergies, coughing, sneezing, and itching as they emerge from winter. The article explains that while honey contains pollen, it’s usually from flowers that aren’t the same as those causing your allergic reactions. So, the claim that local honey can help your body build immunity is not supported by science.

In fact, the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology states that consuming honey doesn’t provide the same exposure to allergens that you’d get from pollen in the air. So, if you’re reaching for that jar of honey hoping to find relief, it’s best to stick to proven treatments.

Remember, while honey is delicious and has health benefits, it’s not the cure we might wish for during allergy season. That’s all for today, stay informed and take care!
