Seasonal allergies and herbal medicine

With spring comes the return of pollen, and with it allergies we could do without.

Subsequently, other allergenic plants release their pollen throughout the summer, until mid-October. Allergic reactions caused by the different pollens occur at roughly the same times each year, i.e. :

March to June (tree and shrub pollen);
May to October (grass pollen, such as grass and hay);
July to October flower pollen.
