"Honey has a long history as a revered natural remedy across many cultures.
Ancient civilisations recognised its therapeutic potential, employing it for
various medicinal purposes. The ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Chinese, Greeks
and Romans, for instance, used it to heal wounds. And many cultures today
continue to use it as a remedy for sore throats and coughs.
Some people also assert that honey can alleviate hay fever symptoms. Advocates
of this method claim honey can help thanks to its purported anti-inflammatory
and anti-allergic properties (though empirical evidence for this is lacking).
But what does science actually say about this age-old remedy? Recent
investigations into honey’s potential for alleviating hay fever symptoms have
yielded intriguing findings that certainly warrant further exploration.
One fascinating aspect being investigated is honey’s ability to act as a form
of immunotherapy – a treatment strategy that aims to modify the immune system’s
response to allergens."
