hayfever

[helpme!]

I understand that if you suffer with hayfever some say your symptoms are eased if you eat bee's honey. I have recently been eating Houmous which contains Rape Seed Oil. If your hayfever is affected by Rape Seed, will eating this also help symptoms?

I think the honey thing only works if it's local honey (so the bees will have fed off the flowers whose pollen is causing you a reaction).  Therefore i would expect that only local rapeseed oil could help so the stuff found in shop-bought hummus is probly useless.

hi yes i saw this on tv last week and the doctor said you have to have local honey because of the local pollens and that this could help a lot.
