Best Apitherapy Ever

I've been warned by many natives that Sacramento is a veritable Mecca of allergens. I nod, thank them for the warning, and smile to myself, as apparently whatever stuff they have here just doesn't bother me. The palm trees, citrus groves, giant succulents of awesome don't have bothersome pollens.


But, to prevent growing allergic to my new home, I've begun a steady regimen of natural medicine, namely daily walks through the green, shady streets of midtown/east sac, taking in the gardens of the bungalows, Craftsmans (there are several Buffy houses in the immediate area), faux-Spanish homes, etc. Also, every other day or so, I get a big spoonful of histamines, cunningly neutered by the busy activity of our friends Apis mellifera.



The Co-op stocks local Wildflower honey- raw, unfiltered, and uncooked*. This stuff comes straight from Mr. Lienert's bees to me, and I eat it on toast, and one big spoonful of the stuff, to help my body get used to delicious pollen. This stuff is made of seven-times awesome. New favorite thing.

*Most commercial honeys are heated to above 140 degrees, which kills the antioxidants and and enzymes that increase immune functions, and lessens their natural anti-microbial qualities.
