Turmeric and Honey Super Booster

Turmeric benefits sufferers of hay fever, asthma, bronchitis as well as other lung problems and of course seasonal allergies. The next is honey — the idea behind honey aiding in seasonal allergies is that the bees become covered in pollen spores when they buzz from one flower to the next – spores which are then transferred to their honey. It is thought that by eating that honey, even just a spoonful a day, it can help build your immunity through gradual exposure.

The key here is to make sure that you are using raw, local, unfiltered honey. Much different than the translucent golden stuff you buy at the grocer. Raw unheated honey is full of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and powerful antioxidants.  It has powerful antibacterial,antiviral and antifungal properties.
