Spring
During the spring season in New England there are sixty-seven pollinating trees and shrubs. Each of them will pollinate for two to three weeks, and they will be identified on these calendars. Whenever you or your children experience any symptoms of nasal or pulmonary sensitivity please note pollens that are prevalent on those days.

The value of following the pattern of pollination is twofold: first you can identify the offending pollen or pollens more accurately than if you relied on traditional scratch tests from an allergist; second, you can anticipate a week or weeks that may be irritating once the offending pollens are identified and treat yourself expectantly. This process takes a good deal of work, but the results are the most valid and the second and third years will be predictable enough to control most of your symptoms before they get too severe.
