Raw Honey and Allergies

Allergies come about as a reaction of our immune system to certain foreign objects that enter the body and are perceived as harmful. In reaction to those foreign objects, the immune system produces certain allergens which when brought into contact with the foreign objects, react adversely and lead to an allergic reaction.

In this manner, instead of helping the body, it leads to producing these allergens which react negatively with the body. This reaction is usually exaggerated because only certain people's immune systems perceive it as a danger and lead to this effect. That is why only some people suffer from allergies of a particular kind, while others don't.

Allergies can be of several kinds and range over varied degrees of severity. Then how and why is raw honey said to help? The reasons for why raw honey makes for one of the most natural remedies for allergies are listed below, however, before you get into that, it is important to understand that only raw honey is most effective, not the processed and strained variety. This is because, only raw honey has the properties that work against an allergy and provide allergy relief.

Builds Immunity

It is believed that the contents of raw honey have got to do with the healing properties that it lends as far as allergies are concerned. Most allergies are caused by the pollen, molds, and dust in the air.

Since honey has all these ingredients, it helps in building a stronger immune system that becomes immune to the negative effects that it perceives these ingredients will lead to. Thus, it develops immunity against these very products.

Therefore when the basic reaction is altered, the allergies stop. But for this to work, it has to be raw honey and preferably the kind that is found closest to your home, because then it would ensure that it has the 'vaccine' against those properties that are causing the allergy.

Regenerates Cells

The other reason why raw honey proves effective in treating allergies is because of the overall medicinal, anti-allergic, and anti-inflammatory properties that it contains.

On the whole, raw honey helps in developing a stronger body and in correcting varied functions of digestion and gastrointestinal health. But there is also another important factor that helps with the allergies, and that is its regenerative properties.
Background Image
When there is an allergic reaction, the cells in the body are attacked and that leads to making the person even more weak. Honey helps in regenerating those lost cells and thereby helps to build a defense against future attacks.

That is exactly how and why raw honey for treating allergies is used and helps. So now that you know what raw honey can do for those allergies, try and procure some from somewhere...and fast!
