every year my brother and my mum get really bad allergies…my mum gets so sick that she will have asthma like symptoms…even though she doesn’t have asthma. In my brothers case it’s a bit more mild…but it still hits him hard.

My grandmother gave us a little bottle of bee pollen.

like this:click here

Both my mum and bro haven’t had and allergy symptoms at all!!!
So I’ve been really sick too…with a cold I began taking it
And I feel so much better!!!!
So this is what we take:

1 or 1 ¼ cups of water and 1 teaspoon of pollen its optional to add honey to taste (I recommend it cause it tastes kinda yucky without it lol) then you stir it till it dissolves and use the sides of the glass to crush the little pollen pieces


So I’ve been wondering has anyone else heard of this/tried it??
[edit] i've been taking this for a while now and feel great!!

so i recomend this to people who currently have allergies or are sick you’ll feel better with this

plus its cheaper than having to get allergy pills

although its a bit ironic that the thing that makes you sneeze(well not really) is the thing that makes you well again lol

Glad this helped yu and yur family~

I didn't take the same thing as yu did but its still related to bees, i took bee propolis pills when i was small... even now.
Kinda the same for me, as a little kid i had the weakest immune system and i was always ill! lol nearly once every month, i would cough non-stop etc.. and i would have to see the doctors,until i started taking the pills and now im fine =D .... even now, when i feel im catching a cold i would take some.

Hah that sounds pretty intersting.
The last time I hear anything related to a bee was Honey, which can help ease throat pain.

Do you know if it's safe for a pregnant woman to consume bee pollen?

Do you know if it's safe for a pregnant woman to consume bee pollen?

ok so i was looking for an answer to your question and found this:

Bee pollen may be safely administered by everyone,

but then i found this
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or nursing, we suggest you to consult with your doctor or healthcare professional before beginning to take pollen. However, many pregnant, breast-feeding, and nursing women consume our Royal Jelly because they find it's a wonderful way to help keep their bodies nutritionally strong during this special time.
so talk it over with your doctor...but i don't think there will be a problem

in sure the reason for this is that it is a company that sells capsules of this stuff...(which i did read on this site) told me its better to take the grain stuff and never capsules. hope this helps and congrats on your baby!!!

so i found a bunch more uses for bee pollen and it can be read here

here are some fun facts about pollen that i have discovered!!

Pollen contains the richest known source of vitamins, minerals, proteins amino acids, hormones, enzymes and fats, as well as significant quantities of natural antibiotics. Most of the known vitamins in pollen exist in perfect proportion, which further enhances their value.
all forms of bee pollen contain higher amounts of vitamins B1, B2 and E than found in fruits, berries and green vegetables.

Pollen is superior to both honey and royal jelly, and possesses a similar (but more stable) composition to that of royal jelly. The overall stability of bee pollen is more advantageous when used in dietetics, as well as an effective form of skin care during corrective dermatology.
Bee pollen has a dramatic effect upon mental perception during athletic performances.
The I.Q.'s of children have been doubled during documented clinical tests, and resistance to stress has been significantly increased in both animals and humans.

Bee Pollen is extremely valuable as an adaptogen by assisting in both weight gain or loss, as well as in the reduction of hypertension or increasing the overall metabolic functions.
During many years of testing, pollen has been notable for its lack of harmful side-effects.
A dosage of from 15 to 20 grams (one-half ounce) will usually meet the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for adults. Approximately 30 to 32 grams are necessary in order to anabolically strengthen and tone a person, whereas anywhere from 15 to 20 grams are essential for the proper maintenance of good health in active adults.

Do not begin using bee pollen with a dose larger than 1 tablespoonful, twice a day. After one week, gradually increase the dosage from 1 tablespoonful up to 4 tablespoonfuls (1 tablespoonful equals approximately one-fourth ounce). One ounce of bee pollen (4 tablespoonfuls) is equivalent to three cooked meals in terms of nutrient content.
Bee pollen should be consumed in its pure form at least 30 minutes before meals, especially if it is being used for the purpose of losing excess weight. It can also be mixed with honey, thereby producing a candy substitute if made into cakes and dried under direct sunlight. Pollen also becomes a healthy substitute for mother's milk when combined with nut milks, such as almond milk. It can also be blended into fruit or vegetable dressing, or you can dissolve pollen in your favorite herb tea, fruit or vegetable juice (e.g., pineapple and tomato juice blend well together). Pollen may also be sprinkled onto ice cream, granola, sandwiches or salads, or take a banana and dip it directly into the pollen. You may also wish to dissolve 1 teaspoonful of pollen and 1 teaspoonful of honey in a cup of hot water and drink before breakfast.
Pollen should be ingested preferably on an empty stomach, and there is no danger of toxicity from ingesting it (as it is an unadulterated product).
Bee Pollen should never be purchased in powder, tablet or capsule form, as any commercial pulverizing process of pollen is usually accompanied by a certain amount of adulteration.

Allergy attacks brought on by pollen are normally produced by wind-carried pollens, and not by bee-collected pollens. Wind-generated pollens usually stimulate a cleansing process throughout the entire respiratory tract, especially among those who consume excessive quantities of mucus-producing foods during the winter months.
