Tea, Tincture, Capsules or Nasal Oil
The question we're asked most often isn't which product, it's when to start. Most people come to us in June, when the grass pollen count is already climbing. Herbalists have traditionally begun seasonal preparations well ahead of that, two to four weeks before your own season usually starts, and if you know from experience whether tree, grass or weed pollen is your difficult one, you can be more precise. The UK tree pollen season generally runs from late March to mid-May, grass from mid-May through July, and weed pollen from June into September.
Allergy Support Tincture suits that preparatory habit best, because it's quick. A 5ml measure, roughly 100 drops from the integrated glass dropper, diluted in half a cup of water. Eyebright, elderflower, chamomile, Baikal skullcap, plantain, peppermint and yarrow in a 100ml amber bottle.
Allergy Support Tea is the one to choose if you'd rather have a ritual than a routine. Whole-cut leaves rather than milled dust, so the same spoonful will take a second brew later in the day. Steep it covered for ten to fifteen minutes, which keeps the volatile oils in the peppermint and elderflower in the cup rather than escaping with the steam. Around thirty servings per 50g tin, caffeine-free.
Allergy Support Capsules are the tasteless option and the portable one. Seven botanicals as raw powder in a plant cellulose shell, no binders or fillers, sixty capsules to a thirty-day supply.
Nasya Oil does something the other three don't, working on the nasal lining directly rather than being taken internally. One or two drops smoothed around the inner rims of the nostrils, up to three times daily.
If reactive skin is part of your picture, Cooling Cream and Skin Saver Balm sit in this collection for that reason.
Hayfever & Allergy Essentials and Decongestion Essentials group the complementary products at £47 rather than assembling them separately.
