Quote of the Month

"I wait ages for the weather to get better and when summer gets here, I'm allergic to it"

Around this time of year until frost, many people become an allergy magnet.

Most of the time, it's Ragweed — a yellow-flowering weed found along highways, vacant lots and fields. Just one plant can release 1 Billion (1,000,000,000) pollen grains.  You may think it's helpful to mow the grass behind your home, or to pluck the ragweed from around your home, but it won't do you any good. The pollen can travel up to 650 kilometers!

Besides Ragweed, there are other culprits that may be triggering your symptoms. You may be surprised at what they are.

If you're looking for some natural remedies to help with your symptoms, there are quite a few, the key is to start taking them early enough for them to buildup in your sytem. Natural remedies take time, they're not like medications or over the counter anti-histamines. I would suggest taking them a month before your allergy season starts. You don't have to take all of the herbs, but a few in combination are good choices.
