The Power Of Pollen - Relief For Hay Fever Sufferers

The power of pollen

With this simple preventative regime, sufferers of hay fever should enjoy a sneeze-free summer.

Spring has sprung – soon the leaves will be out and the grass will start to grow. When uncut grasses mature in late May and early June, the hay fever season will be upon us. Those with an allergic tendency will be suffering with sneezing, watery eyes and tight chest and will be rushing to the chemist for their dose of anti-histamine pills.

Allergies are the inappropriate response by the body’s immune system to substances that are not normally harmful. They can be roughly divided into three categories:

1. Environment: things we breathe in such as mould spores and plant pollen
2. Food: for example nut allergies and including chemical additives
3. Skin: sensitivity to things that are applied to the skin and become absorbed, such as nickel in earrings which can lead to localised eczema
   
   

Inhaled pollens are the very light form of the two types of pollen. They are designed to be blown by the wind to do their job as the male reproductive part of the plant, whereas the heavier sticky pollens are designed to attach themselves to insects so as to hitch a ride to the next flower where pollination can occur. It is this type of pollen gathered from bees that forage in the high Sonoran Desert in Arizona that Forever Living make into their wonderful product – Bee Pollen.

Wild untreated pollen is not well absorbed by human beings as the grains are encapsulated by cellulose which requires an enzyme that we do not possess to break it down. To get round this problem, Forever Living has developed a special milling technique which makes our Bee Pollen tablets very digestible and therefore very effective. The pollen from this region is totally unpolluted and the company even foes to the extent of using electric vehicles to collect the pollen from the hives.

Pollen has several important uses, but either to prevent or reduce the severity of hay fever symptoms it can be safely ingested so as to “vaccinate” the individual against the allergic response to the inhaled grass pollens. To do this the Bee Pollen tablets should be taken regularly for about six weeks before the onset of the anticipated symptoms. Antioxidant bioflavonoids from part of the components of bee pollen and one of them, quercetin, also acts as an antihistamine so helping to prevent the release of histamine which is responsible for the symptoms. The amount individuals require will vary but I suggest between three and six tablets a day should be sufficient to produce the protective effect. For those who also suffer from asthmatic effect, the addition of Ginko Plus and Arctic Sea Super Omega-3 should provide some relief.

With this simple preventative regime, sufferers of this seasonal allergy should enjoy a sneeze-free summer.
