Why be congested?
Attention Northern Kentucky residents!
Seasonal allergies leaving you feeling stuffed-up and
miserable? A teaspoon of honey every day during the high
pollen times can help reduce -- if not eliminate -- resp iratory ailments. The key
though is that the honey must be collected within a 25 mile or so radius of
where you live. Baeten's Nursery harvests totally organic honey from their own
private bee hives in Union, Kentucky.
Locally-harvested honey can help!
Honeybees collect pollen from the various types of plants in an
area and the pollen is then present in small amounts of the honey
that the bees make.
When you eat honey collected from these bees it often acts as an immune booster,
putting small doses of the allergen directly into your body. When
your nose encounters the pollen in the air it doesn't see it as a threat
and doesn't start the evasive maneuvers of producing mucus and other
allergy symptoms. A teaspoon a
day of locally harvested honey taken 6 weeks before and then throughout the
pollen season
can create the same effect over time as
undergoing a series of allergy immunology injections. The difference? Honey is easier to ta ke, much cheaper, and often-times, more effective! Stop by
soon and pick up a one or two pound bottle. See
Store Info for our hours or call
384-GROW to find out if we have our honey in stock. Honey
should not be given to children under 1 year old.
Try these
ideas:
Eat honey straight from the jar or enjoy a teaspoon in your hot or iced tea,
lemon-aide, hot cocoa, with peanut butter and bananas on a sandwich, on
a buttered English muffin or biscuit, or even in your hot breakfast cereal.
It tastes especially great in home-made granola or oatmeal. Send us your favorite recipe that uses honey and we'll post it here to

"This
really works for my daughter and I! Every summer we would get the stuffiness
and drainage associated with seasonal allergies. This year though,
we took a teaspoon of Baeten's honey each day and we
stayed congestion-free. It's been nothing short of a miracle!"
