How to use Bee Pollen for Allergies


Stop sniffling and sneezing and get rid of your coughing and wheezing!!! 

This little tid "b"it is especially helpful for those poor asthma sufferers!! Read below!!! 

Bee Pollen is "A"mazing! Bee pollen is a superfood and can be used to promote multiple health benefits as well as prevent some nagging "ailments". Bee pollen is full of vitamins A,B,C,D,E,K,Folic acid, calcium, potassium, zinc, magnesium, selenium, protein and amino acids!! It's the "Bee's Knees"!! Be pollen stimulates ovarian function, treats and prevents seasonal allergies, creates metabolic balance for weightloss, prevents premature aging of the cells, prevents acne and is also said to have anti~cancer benefits. 

One of the best things that I have learned about bee pollen is its prophylactic use in treating and preventing seasonal allergies! You see an "allergy" is a result of our body's response to something it has been exposed to. Usually deemed as a foreign invader. The responses vary in degree from mild to severe! This response is how the immune system attempts to remove or marginalize the impact of the foreign body. With allergies the body can develop a chronic histamine response, resulting in inflammation throughout the body's skin, membranes, tissues and other organs. A majority of people suffer from these "seasonal allergies" and would benefit by ingesting bee pollen daily.

I recommend starting with a few granules then building up to a teaspoon or two every day. Ingesting bee pollen in this way works by desensitiing your body to the pollen that travels through the air that causes your body to react. With a small daily dose 6-8 weeks prior to allergy season your body will build up its defenses to fight off the allergens and avoid a reaction in the future season!!

It is best to buy "LOCAL BEE POLLEN" when possible. These local bees will have all of the local pollens that you are ever so sensitive to! But don't fret if you cannot find local. Many bee pollens carry the same innoculations of most pollens we are "allergic" to. 

So dose yourself up some of this bee pollen goodness! Add bee pollen to smoothie and salads! For maximum results place bee pollen under the tongue for a few minutes in the morning. Start small as I mentioned above!
