How local does honey need to be to potentially help with allergies?

I recently had my first allergy test and learned that I’m allergic to dust mites, cats (sad!! – I have two!) and ragweed. In anticipation of the ragweed season being six months away or so, I wanted to start trying local honey now to see if it helps with my ragweed allergy. I know it has to be unpasturized honey, but how local does it need to be? I found a farm within about fifteen miles – is that close enough?

Thank you.

Fifteen miles is close enough. Even further would be okay. Honey is a natural product and it is not processed in any way other than to remove the comb. You may not even have to travel to a farm to get local honey. I purchase local honey at the supermarket where I shop. It’s quite common for bee keepers to distribute honey throughout their area.

i had allergy problem many times my father dipped something in honey and made me eat that after 1 hour used to get relief where doctors tried so many medicine on me they were giving injections everything……..so believe me honey is good in allergy

Unfortunately, honey cannot help with your cat allergy.

Honey grown within 25 miles is close enough so you should be fine.
