Bee Pollen and Hay Fever

Are you dreading the onset of hay fever season? About one month before the hay fever season begins, start using bee pollen sources. Some people like to chew honeycomb cappings which are prime sources of pollen. Pure bee pollen is available in tablet or powder form at almost all health food stores and pharmacies. D.S. Jarvis, MD has written about the benefits of bee pollen which he says has a special action on the breathing tract, "it opens the nose, produces a drying effect, lessens catarrhal discharge and cough." Taking bee pollen supplements all year on a daily basis has been found to help the body build its own immunity to the discomfort of allergies.
