"I take 2 beconaize products. A one a day tablet the active ingredient is acry something and a nasal spray. That generally keeps things to a tolerable level. I also wear dark glasses when the sun is bright I find this can help with the sneezing and also helps prevent the inevitable urge to rub my eyes which is fatal. As I work outside in the countryside I can’t avoid the pollen and dust but have found these measure deaf help me but as I’m sure you’ve found what works for one person won’t necessarily work for you. Good luck finding some relief." I must admit that thankfully, my symptoms have become more tolerable with age; when I was a child however, I distinctly remember my eyes used to puff up so much that I couldn’t see out of them (I looked much like Rocky after 12 rounds lol) | |||

"Not one who suffers from But did help a friend once overcome a life time of problems every year. I will try explain quickly, might help some of you. Im not saying will work for everyone nor saying im anything other than a guy offering first hand advise. Right firstly you need to collect little bags of various grains of pollen off a range of flowers, if you have it bad, ask a friend to take a sharp knife and knocking/scraping collect an tiny sample of pollen, do this for least 5 different plants, the grains are tiny. Next buy about 240g of multifloral bee pollen (must be multfloral, from lots different plants, try organic bee pollen from spain) So what you do it take a sheets of glass, tip out some pollen from one bag, use magnifying glass and pin/needle and seperate one grain. Stick that one grain on a clean plaster. Tape that plaster to back of your hand at night before bed. When you wake change the pollen grain for another type and repeat all day. Do this with one grain alternating between grains for 1 week. 2nd week. Take one grain of bee pollen every morning and repeat procedure on back of hand. This time use two grains. Do this for one week daily 3rd week if everything all good, start taking two grains of bee pollen and five or six grains of flower pollen on back of hand. And so on What this does is take body right back and overcomes the very basic levels. By introducing pollen in such tiny amount over period of time, the body is able to adjust. You will also loose weight or gain it depends upon how your body should be, but this will only happen after long term use of bee pollen, as you will no longer havd issues. Bee pollen contains bee spit, in the bee spit, it makes human metabolism work as should, so body naturally adjusts to natural body weight for your body. Bee pollen does.wonderful things, but all you people, please start one grain at a time. Hope this helps If anyone needs advise feel free to ask will try help if can" A great post and very informative Thank you. I’ve read a little previously on the homeopathic benefits of injesting locally sourced honey but never the method you described. It’s a little like cutting out the middle man (or insect in this case) in essence. Actually, it makes perfect sense therefore and sounds very much worth a try | |||

"I was terrible with it as a kid and was hospitalised on several occasions. I used to get a Kenilog injection once a year which worked wonders but they stopped giving it because it’s a steroid. I’m not as bad these days so I can manage with over the counter stuff. I’ve heard that if you source local honey and have a spoonful everyday for thexweeks leading up to the season it helps build up a resistance to your local pollen. " Read my post above about bee pollen. Unless the local honey you refer to is unpasteurized, unfiltered, basically raw It will do no good for your purpose. It would be better to use bed pollen as described above Hope that helps | |||

"The most usual culprits causing hay fever are tree and grass pollens, which tend to be spread via air, as opposed to flower pollens which insects spread. Bees make honey from flower pollen, not tree or grass pollens. So there is no basis for the theory that local honey will help your allergies. " Sorry but bees also make useless tree pollen as so the wild bees make grass pollen. Sorry but all the pollen out of eastern Europe is pine pollen, useless for this purpose. It isn't anything to do with grass or trees so sorry but your incorrect. And only raw, unpasteurized, unprocessed honey is good enough and very little of that about, and mostly uk local stuff so contaminated, best avoid | |||

" Just build slowly bro Increasing slowly See how body reacts If u get reactions with few grains, reducing grains back one stage and do for few more weeks, till no issues at that level and increase. Your aiming to increase bee pollen to as much as can Every person is different and some may only take few weeks, others a couple of months. Its basic allergy control for body, build small and slowly, body can overcome most problems with allergies. | |||
