Is local honey good for allergies?

This is a question I get from time to time from customers in my shop in Las Rozas de Madrid. The answer to this question is whether a person with a pollen allergy can take honey. Up to now I have always referred my customers to their doctor. Now, even if I try to give an answer to this question, I will continue to advise them to ask their doctor. However, I have compiled some opinions from doctors to give you some information.

Summary: Pollen are microscopic grains produced by male flowers, which are spread in the air during the flowering season. They reach our bodies, and in the case of allergy sufferers, these microscopic grains are considered to be an invasive agent. This same pollen is found in honey, which could cause negative effects in honey. Here we will give you expert opinions and recommendations for allergy sufferers. Finally, you have at your disposal in our shop in Las Rozas a fantastic selection of top quality raw honeys.

1. Can allergy sufferers take honey?

According to information from various sources, pollen allergy sufferers can take honey. Honey contains very small amounts of pollen.

On the other hand, an allergy sufferer has to take into account the type of pollens to which he/she is allergic, as it is usually the case that a person is allergic to some pollen of a plant. Therefore, within the small concentration of pollen contained in a honey, it would be an even smaller proportion, the specific pollen to which a person is allergic.

However, we stress again that this is only a compilation of opinions, and it is your doctor who can advise you.
