    Default Green Tea and LOCAL Honey-Allergy Cure?

    2 people in the past 2 days have told me that this is a great help for allergies. In central Texas, this is the time for cedar fever, and it is BAD for me this year.

    Do you think its effective? The local honey is supposed to be important because its like a "flu shot" when you get the local pollens in your system. But I'm not allergic to pollen, its the damn cedar spores.

    What do you do to combat allergies?

    My neuroscience professor told us to drink tea mixed with local honey for allergies- just as long as we also squeezed in a bit of lemon juice as well, because sometimes bad bacteria can get stored dehydrated in the honey and get reactivated with water.

    Or just eat a teaspoon of local honey straight if you don't have any lemon, according to him.

    For me though, it's Allegra and/or Nasonex, combined with steam showers!

    That's what I've been taking and its not helping. I drank two huge cups of blueberry green tea with extra antioxidant, took some echinacea, and got some cold medicine with fever reducer just now. Hopefully something will make me feel less shit. OTOH, I got to sit here all day on SW!

    I've read a good many studies on using local raw honey, made from the pollen of the allergen plant, for allergy relief.

    Unfortunately, I don't see how the theory would extend to a cedar spore allergy. But if you want some articles pm me.

    Fwiw, the easiest anti-allergen on my system is a generic called chlorpheniramine; you should be able to get it OTC anywhere. It only lasdts 4 hours or so, but zero side effects (for me).

    Katrine, my alegra doesn't work unless I have lots of sex a little after I take it. Seriously, it's no joke.
