This one is the most simple and delicious remedies of them all.
My daughter went through medical hell beginning one month after she moved to Chicago from Nashville. She had developed a constant cough and, when it had gone on for a good month and gotten quite bad, she went to an allopathic doctor. This doctor diagnosed her with something or other, probably the catch-all bronchitis, and prescribed western medicine's catch-all remedy, antibiotics. He chose first azithromycin and, when that did not help at all, doxycycline.
These two drugs did nothing whatsoever to help the cough and caused serious side effects, one of which persists to this day whenever she gets any simple virus, nystagmus. Look it up. It is no joke. Do not take these two antibiotics, they are highly toxic. There are many more antibiotics that one should avoid and, with the appearance of antibiotic resistant bacteria, there are new, expensive and more dangerous ones being liberally prescribed.
My daughter finally went to a doctor who got the diagnosis correct - allergies! "Of course!" I thought, but far too late. She had just moved to a region of the country that she had never even visited before.
My second thought was "bee pollen!" which had worked for me the one time I had allergies long, long ago.
But there is an even simpler, yummier, less expensive and more readily available treatment for allergies, and that is local raw honey. My daughter researched to find the most local raw honey she could, found one that was produced in a Chicago city park near her home, and started eating it. The cough that had caused the worst medical events of her life cleared right up.
Now whenever someone I love moves to a new place, I ask them to buy the most local, absolutely raw honey they can find as soon as they get there, and eat a lot of it.
Let food be your medicine.

Thanks for stopping by! Bees, bees, more bees, please. I love them. And honey too! I think I'll write today about how to treat a wound with honey, and that would make three out of my four entries so far to contain honey. I'm on a honey binge.

It's @riverflows again. I didn't miss this. Have you got a panacea for being overworked and confused? Eek. Too much reading. xx

You are definitely on the right tract. I just hope we can save our honey bees as they are getting scarce and if they go we are not far behind.

hey thanks for reading and upvoting my stuff! I really appreciate it!
I have lots of bees and other pollinators on a one acre suburban plot. I think those of us who value weeds and wildlife are providing habitats for the bees. Hopefully there are enough of us doing it.

Most welcome and happy to hear you are providing a lovely area for the bees, etc. It’s so important to let the dandelions and other weeds grow for them and not spray to have that lush green perfect lawn.
There has been a decline in bees & butterflies, etc, due to use of pesticides and insecticides. The nicotine in the spray for corn is deadly for them. I hope there more people like us aware and doing something to help.

Natural therapies are always very effective and there are so many out there. Thank you for sharing your experience. I would any day go in for a natural therapy then the pathological treatment.

"Pathological treatment" is much more appropriate than "allopathic". I just looked up allopathic and now know it is only partially correct. Thanks for that comment!
