Personalized homeopathy treatments provide safe, natural, long-term relief.
What Is Pollen and How Does It Trigger Allergies?
Pollen is a fine powder that plants release into the air to reproduce.
For allergy sufferers, inhaling pollen can set off an immune response.
The body sees pollen as a threat and releases histamines, causing inflammation.
Different plants release pollen at different times of the year.
Tree pollen is common in spring, grass pollen peaks in summer, and weed pollen dominates in fall.
Why Does the Body React to Pollen?
For those with allergies, the immune system overreacts to harmless pollen. This triggers sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and throat irritation.
Common Symptoms of Pollen Allergies
Pollen allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, cause:
Sneezing
Runny or stuffy nose
Itchy, watery eyes
Scratchy throat
Post-nasal drip
Headaches or sinus pressure
In severe cases, pollen allergies can trigger asthma-like symptoms, including wheezing or shortness of breath.
Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome
Some people experience Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome (PFAS). This happens when certain raw fruits, vegetables, or nuts trigger mouth or throat irritation. The body mistakes proteins in these foods for pollen, causing an allergic reaction.
Diagnosing Pollen Allergies
Doctors diagnose pollen allergies using two main methods:
1. Medical History
They ask about your symptoms, when they occur, and any patterns. If allergies flare in spring, tree pollen may be the cause. If they peak in fall, weed pollen is likely the culprit.
2. Allergy Testing
Doctors use skin prick tests or blood tests to confirm allergies. These tests detect your body's reaction to different pollen types.

Shower and change clothes after spending time outdoors.
Support Your Immune System
A strong immune system helps manage allergy symptoms. Eat a nutrient-rich diet, stay hydrated, and get enough rest.
Are Pollen Allergies Getting Worse?
Yes. Climate change is making pollen seasons longer and more intense.
Higher CO2 levels cause plants to produce more pollen.
Urban areas also have higher pollution, which can worsen symptoms.
