Customer question: What can I do naturally to support my body during pollen season? The symptoms can be quite bothersome, and I’d prefer to avoid "aggressive approaches".

Pollen exposure – not just in spring
Contrary to popular belief, exposure to airborne environmental elements like pollen can last nearly the whole year in many regions. Grasses, herbs, trees, and even fungi release microscopic particles into the air. Some people tolerate it well; others experience increased sensitivity – especially in the nose, eyes, throat, or respiratory tract.
In such periods, it’s helpful to know which natural strategies may support your body in coping with the environmental burden.
How to support your body naturally?
Some people rely on herbs and foods rich in zinc and selenium – like flaxseed, marjoram, pumpkin seeds, buckwheat or millet groats. Others turn to the Budwig diet with high-quality flax oil, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Many of our customers also choose to supplement with Transfer Factor Classic or the more advanced Transfer Factor Tri-Factor.
Both formulas include colostrum bovinum – also known as bovine colostrum – a natural source of valuable nutrients. The Tri-Factor version also contains egg yolk extracts, offering a broader nutritional profile.
Not only grass – but also herbs and fungi
Grass pollen often peaks in May and June, but frequent mowing can prolong this period until late September. Wild herbs such as nettle or plantain release particles well into early autumn. Some of the strongest reactions are observed during midsummer – particularly from the genus Artemisia, including mugwort and wormwood.
Fungal spores (e.g. Alternaria and Cladosporium) can also be present year-round – especially in humid indoor areas. Maintaining clean, well-ventilated environments and using effective filtration can help reduce exposure to airborne micro-particles.
