Flowering trees per year. What plants are the most allergenic? Families of hypoallergenic plants

To help you » Dusting calendar

Allergy to flowering plants (pollinosis) is one of the most common diseases associated with an inadequate response of the body to histamine. Pollinosis manifests itself during the period of active flowering of trees and grasses, when a large amount of pollen is released into the air. An attack of pollinosis occurs when the concentration of pollen in the air reaches threshold values - usually 10–20 pollen grains per 1 m3 of air.

Not all plants can cause hay fever, but only a few dozen. At the same time, in different climatic zones, these plants bloom at different times.

Flowering and dusting calendar: periodicity of dangerous moments

There are three pollen waves:

spring - associated with the flowering of trees (peak occurs in April - May);
summer - during the flowering period of cereals;
summer-autumn - associated with weed pollen.

But in each region, both the plants themselves and the timing of their flowering can vary significantly.

Knowing the flowering period of "dangerous" plants, you can prepare in advance for the hay fever season.

The best way to avoid an aggravation is to plan a vacation for this period and go to the region where the allergenic plant does not grow or its flowering dates are shifted to an earlier or later period. For example, if you are allergic to birch in April-May, you can go south from central Russia.

But even if this is not possible, you can prepare for the pollinosis season in your own climate zone. You should not plan a long stay on the street for this period, protect windows from pollen, purchase air purifiers with special filters, and, finally, stock up on antihistamines, such as Cetrin, in advance.

Knowing the dusting and flowering calendar for allergy sufferers also helps in diagnosing the allergen. If the symptoms of an allergic rhinitis appear only in April, then the doctor first of all conducts a study with tree allergens. This information helps to reduce the number of allergy tests and make testing more targeted.

Anyone with a pollen allergy should keep a pollen calendar close at hand. After all, "forewarned is forearmed."

Having studied the flowering and dusting calendar for allergy sufferers and knowing the dangerous period for you, you can do everything possible in advance to feel as comfortable as possible at this time.

Families of hypoallergenic plants

Brightly colored and pleasantly smelling insect-pollinated plants almost never cause allergies. Coniferous trees are also hypoallergenic. Experts even advise taking walks in the coniferous forest, as this helps to relieve allergic symptoms for a short time. In addition to plants growing in nature, allergies can be caused by contact with a houseplant. However, such cases are more rare than common.

How to identify an allergen?

Seasonal runny nose (rhinitis) always recedes with the advent of cold weather at the end of October, and returns only in April. If pollinosis is due to a genetic (or hereditary) predisposition, its manifestation can occur at any age. Remarkably, children with such a predisposition, born in the autumn-winter period, tolerate allergies much more easily.

In order to start adequate treatment or proper prevention, it is necessary to establish an allergen substance that provokes the development of an allergic reaction. This can be done by contacting a specialized medical center or hospital, where the patient will be asked to take skin tests and blood to determine the substances produced for different types of allergens. This is a fairly complex analysis that takes some time.

There is a way to determine the allergen without resorting to the help of medical professionals. Helps to identify the initiator allergy flowering calendar, without which chronic allergy sufferers cannot imagine their life. If a person knows at least approximately the time period when allergic reactions are at their peak, he can calculate the desired substance using this allergy calendar.

Flowering calendar for central Russia

In the regions of Russia, the administrative centers of which are Tver, Vladimir, Yaroslavl, Ryazan, Kaluga, Tula and Smolensk, there is a flowering schedule for identifying allergies, which displays three time periods for flowering plants:

the spring period lasts from mid-April to the end of May, when wind-pollinated trees (willow, alder, hazel, elm, aspen, willow) bloom in the second half of April; poplar - in the first two decades of May; birch and maple - in the beginning of the third ten days of May);
the summer period lasts throughout June and July, when grasses, meadow and cereals bloom (dandelion - the first decade of June; bonfire and foxtail - throughout June; linden - in the last week of June and the first week of July; fescue, hedgehog, couch grass, timothy grass, bluegrass - all July);
the summer-autumn period includes the last week of July, August, September and the beginning of October. During these months, weeds bloom - wormwood, ragweed, cyclamen and quinoa.

What is important to know when using the flowering calendar

It should be borne in mind that the flowering periods of plants indicated above may be shifted back or forward depending on weather conditions, in particular temperature. You also need to remember that in different regions of the country, pollen from different plants can be active allergens. So, for example, in the Rostov region - this is a quinoa, in the Stavropol Territory and the North Caucasus - pollen of ambrosia, in Kuzbass - pollen of birch, wormwood and cereal plants.

How useful is the bloom calendar?

If a person knows the time of occurrence and manifestation of allergy symptoms and the substance that provokes them, he will be able to prevent the development of the disease in the future. You can do this by solving a few simple tasks:

at the time of flowering of the plant that provokes allergies, go to another area where the allergen is not yet or is no longer activated;
if this is not possible, plan walks in such a way as to minimize the time of contact with the hazardous substance;
start taking the antihistamines recommended by the doctor, and start taking at least half a month before the start of flowering - this will make the manifestations of allergies a little less acute;
in winter, when there is no allergen in nature, give them injections, gradually increasing the amount of the substance - this is called specific therapy, the essence of which is that with the introduction of such injections, the body will get used to the aggressive substance, and during the period of exacerbation it will not allow so violently react to it.

Folk methods of treatment and prevention of hay fever

If for some reason (for example, fear of injections) a person cannot inject, he should turn to traditional medicine, which offers several methods that have a similar result. The only thing to note is that with the treatment of folk remedies, the result can be achieved much later.

So here are some recipes:

In winter, it is recommended to take an infusion of a plant that causes an allergic reaction in summer. To do this, take crushed dry leaves and pour them with a glass of boiling water. One tablespoon will suffice. Reception begins with a minimum dose (about a teaspoon per day), and if allergy symptoms do not appear (itching, rash, runny nose, lacrimation, etc.), it is gradually increased.
Another effective method is to take honey from plant pollen, which provokes a non-standard reaction of the body. Among other things, honey and bee products are excellent prophylactic agents against hay fever.
Another interesting, and, moreover, pleasant way is to take warm baths with the flower of the plant that causes a negative reaction of the body in the summer. If it is not possible to get flowers, you can replace them with essential oils.

Features of the disease

Pollinosis is an allergic disease that occurs when the body interacts with plant pollen. As a result of contact with the allergen, the immune system responds with an inadequate response. Manifestations of the disease in allergy sufferers appear only in the period of time when plants bloom and a significant release of pollen occurs. When the concentration of the allergen in the air reaches critical values, the immune system is no longer able to cope with the attack. The first symptoms of an allergy appear.

Not all plants can cause such a reaction. Some plants that can bloom and release pollen in different climatic regions at different times are capable of provoking allergies. Therefore, the flowering calendar is compiled for allergy sufferers for each year, taking into account these features.

Signs and symptoms of allergic reactions

Inadequate reaction of the immune system to the allergen in the form of pollen is manifested by the following conditions:

the occurrence of sensations of itching and irritation in the nasal cavity;
the appearance of mucous discharge from the nose;
nasal congestion and bouts of sneezing;
noise and pain in the ears (typical for childhood);
itching, redness of the eyes;
the appearance of swelling and lacrimation;
manifestations of asthma attacks;
skin reactions in the form of atopic dermatitis.

In some cases, the disease is accompanied by a state of increased fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances and loss of appetite. Rarely, allergy sufferers are diagnosed with concomitant fever, increased sweating, and chills. Angioedema angioedema is considered a dangerous complication for allergy sufferers.

In order to get rid of the manifestations of the disease, you can use not only antihistamine therapy. The information contained in the flowering calendar of various plants can also help to avoid contact with allergens. The current version will be 2017.

The 360 TV channel spoke about non-standard ways to deal with spring hay fever.

Spring is a time of renewal, change and seasonal allergies. If with the advent of heat your eyes begin to water, a runny nose and cough appear, and for breakfast along with porridge - antihistamines, in the coming months you will have to be especially careful. Allergy to pollen, which is also called hay fever or pollinosis, manifests itself in the flowering season in every third inhabitant of our country. How to prepare for seasonal allergies - learn from this material

"Calendar of suffering" allergic

The first thing an allergic person should know is what time the tree or grass that disturbs him blooms. An approximate flowering calendar for plants in central Russia will help you prepare in advance for the flowering of precisely your “own” allergen. At the end of March and up to May, pollinosis causes flowering of hazel, birch, alder, maple. At the end of May - beginning of June - flowering of dandelions. In June - July, those who are allergic to cereal pollen sneeze. In July - August - people who are allergic to the flowering of wormwood and quinoa.

This table will help you start a preventive course of therapy and alleviate your suffering.

Cross allergy

Seasonal allergies are often combined with food allergies, which, in turn, can be permanent or appear only when active “dusting” begins. Therefore, at this time it is better to follow a hypoallergenic diet, that is, exclude from the diet foods that can aggravate allergic reactions. This table will help you adjust your daily menu.

There is an interesting method for calculating pollinosis by the sum of effective temperatures. Measures to limit contact with pollen should begin as soon as the temperature first rises to +5°C, and the likely flowering time is calculated from the sum of effective temperatures (t° effective = t° average daily -5°C). For birch to bloom, the sum of effective temperatures must reach 70 °C.

Prevention of hay fever

- If possible, during the flowering period it is worth leaving for another climatic zone.

- But it is categorically not recommended to leave the city: allergies there, most likely, will only intensify.

- It is better to ventilate the room in damp calm weather.

- After coming from the street, it is better to take a shower.

Latest treatments for allergies

Autolymphocytotherapy

This method is also called plasmapheresis. Simply put, it is taking blood from a patient, purifying it of toxic components and returning it back to the bloodstream. That is, the patient is intravenously injected with his own blood lymphocytes, previously processed by a certain method.

Lymphocytes retain all surface receptors that carry information about the allergens encountered earlier. And with the further introduction of them to the patient, immunity to these substances develops. Plasmapheresis, as it were, adapts the body to a meeting with an allergen. And as a result, immunity is formed to substances that previously provoked nasal congestion, tearing, sneezing, skin rashes and other manifestations of allergies.

Specific immunotherapy

One of the most effective methods of prevention is specific immunotherapy. You need to start it a few months before the start of flowering. An allergen (for example, birch pollen) is detected in a patient and drugs are administered to him in certain doses, which are based on the culprit of the disease. Gradually, the body gets used to the drug, the allergy sufferer develops immunity, and during the flowering season he does not sneeze or cough, or the disease proceeds in a mild form. After three to four years of regular treatment, the predisposition to allergies is minimized. It is believed that after three to five procedures, the patient will feel a significant reduction in allergic manifestations.

Acupuncture

Another method that came to us from the East (from Ancient China) is acupuncture, in other words, acupuncture. On the skin, needles irritate biologically active points associated with various internal organs or body systems. By introducing needles at certain points, it is possible to relieve swelling of the nasal mucosa, inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eyes, and improve local blood circulation.

And injections cause the body to produce endorphins - hormones of joy, so a person does not feel pain. The course of treatment is 10 sessions. It is better to do them every day, in extreme cases - every other day. The effect of one session lasts a day, but in a complex of 10 sessions they give such an improvement in well-being that some patients cannot then be dragged into a fixing course.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy also belongs to this group of influences. It is contraindicated in the acute period of allergy, but it is indispensable in the recovery period and during remission. The most commonly used methods are darsonvalization - the impact on the human body with an alternating pulsed current of high voltage and low power. Electrophoresis - the introduction of drugs with the help of a current under the skin, and sometimes halotherapy is indicated - "salt cave".

Effectiveness of Allergy Treatments

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to completely recover from allergies, but following simple rules can significantly improve the quality of life. If you did not have time to prepare for the flowering season in advance, or if you had an allergy for the first time, then follow a diet, take antihistamines, try to avoid contact with the allergen. Get rid of carpets, keep windows and doors closed. If possible, install a special air intake on the window with an anti-allergic filter. But it is easier, of course, to prevent the disease than to cure it. Be healthy!

hay fever- an allergic disease caused by plant pollen (from the Latin "pollen" - "pollen"). Sometimes you can find such names as hay fever, spring catarrh, seasonal rhinitis, pollen asthma, etc.

Its characteristic manifestations- seasonal allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis, seasonal bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis. In simple terms, allergic rhinitis manifests itself as severe itching and tickling in the nose, watery discharge from the nose, paroxysmal sneezing and nasal congestion, rarely - a decrease in smell. Children may experience noise and pain in the ears. Allergic conjunctivitis is characterized by itching in the eyes, lacrimation, redness of the eyes, a feeling of "sand" in the eyes, swelling of the conjunctiva (mucous membrane of the eyes), but without purulent discharge.

In 20% of cases, typical asthma attacks (seasonal bronchial asthma) are possible. Skin manifestations are possible, in typical cases - on open parts of the body; often they are regarded by doctors as photodermatosis (skin reaction to the sun). Perhaps the development of urticaria, angioedema angioedema, seasonal pollen dermatitis with severe itching and various rashes.
Sometimes hay fever is accompanied by headache, fatigue, sweating, irritability, tearfulness, loss of appetite, sleep disturbance. Chills, fever, lesions of other organs and systems are less common.

The most typical sign of hay fever is seasonality, the coincidence of manifestations with the flowering period of certain plants. At the same time, the symptoms repeat at about the same time every year, but since the timing of flowering shifts slightly in different years due to weather differences, the timing of the manifestations of hay fever also changes. However, the possibility of polyvalent pollen allergy (i.e. allergies to pollen from different plants) should be considered, as well as the possibility of food allergies due to cross-reactions (i.e., nuts with allergies to pollen from deciduous trees and shrubs). With an allergy to mold fungi, pollinosis phenomena can be observed throughout the warm season. But most often hay fever lasts no more than 4 weeks a year.

Prevalence

Pollinosis is common in people of any age and gender, but in children it is more common over the age of 6 years. The number of patients worldwide is doubling every 10 years. Hay fever is not always diagnosed, so official data on its prevalence are underestimated by about 10 times. Pollinosis does not go away with age.

Plants.

The main role in the development of hay fever is played by about 60 plants. Knowing the approximate timing of their flowering in a given area facilitates the diagnosis of the “guilty” factor. Cross-reactions to related plants are possible (timothy - hedgehog, alder - hazel - birch). Usually, there are three periods of increasing the concentration of pollen in the air: spring, associated with the flowering of trees (sometimes even the expression “wood pollinosis” is found), summer (meadow grasses) and autumn (weeds). Of primary importance are wind-pollinated plants, the pollen of which is released in large quantities and is easily carried by the wind. Its dimensions are from 10 to 50 microns, and the enzymes contained in it facilitate penetration through the mucous membrane of the eyes and nose. In addition, mold spores can vegetate on pollen grains, which can also cause symptoms. If fungal spores are the cause of hay fever, symptoms may continue throughout the warm season.

The causative factor of hay fever depends on the climatic zone, the characteristics of the local flora. So, in Kazakhstan it is most often the pollen of wormwood and ragweed, and in Russia - birch, hazel and meadow grasses. The flowering calendar of plants also depends on weather conditions. On warm sunny days and in strong winds, the symptoms are more pronounced.
Pollinosis can be suspected by analyzing the coincidence of symptoms with the flowering calendar, and to confirm it, an allergological examination is performed using skin tests (outside the flowering season) and an analysis for the presence of antibodies to this allergen in the blood serum (RAST - radioallergosorbent test, etc.) .

Pollinosis occurs in urban residents 6 times more often than in rural residents. This is due to the influence of air pollution: under the influence of substances such as sulfur dioxide, ozone and nitrogen oxides, as well as acidic aerosols, pollen grains are damaged and new allergens come to their surface.

Flowering and sporulation calendar

On the territory of the European part of Russia, the flowering season is opened by gray alder (in Moscow on average April 16). There is an interesting method for calculating pollinosis by the sum of effective temperatures. Measures to limit contact with pollen should begin as soon as the temperature first rises to +5°C, and the likely timing of flowering is calculated from the sum of effective temperatures (t° effective = t° average daily–5°C). For birch to bloom, the sum of effective temperatures must reach 70°C.

Calendar 5 flowering honey plants

Beekeepers who want to get a lot of honey should remember that it is not enough to know the life of bees, you also need to understand the flora of your region. We offer you material on this topic.

In order to bring bees to the arrays of honey plants in a timely manner, it is necessary to determine in advance the date of the beginning of their mass flowering. For this purpose, for many years I used calendars compiled by A.I. Molozev, V.I. Dolgoshev, I.P. Tsvetkov and others. parts of Russia are similar, with the exception of a few with a deviation of plus or minus one or two days.

Long-term observations have established that all honey plants from year to year begin to bloom sequentially at certain intervals in relation to the first honey plants.

So, every year the gardens bloom on the 32nd day, and the linden - on the 78th day from the beginning of the flowering of the coltsfoot and hazel.

But the flowering of the first honey plants is highly dependent on the weather and habitat (early or late spring, growth on the lowlands or hills, sunny or shaded side, etc.). And as a result, the timing of their flowering is inconsistent.

For reference, it is better to take a hazel. Woody plants provide more reliable information. The beginning of the flowering of hazel is considered to be the day when pollen is poured from the earrings when shaken, that is, the hazel is dusty. From that day on, the bees are placed on permanent points. Then the willow trees bloom, and the bees carry the first crop to the hive. The beginning of the mass flowering of trees and shrubs (apple, pear, plum, cherry, gooseberry, currant, etc.) is considered to be the period when at least 25-30% of the flowers from the total mass bloom.

The end of the mass flowering of trees and shrubs is the period when no more than 25% of all flowers remain on them, and the period of flowering of their last flowers is the end of flowering.

In herbaceous melliferous plants, the period of appearance in the array of 5-10 plants with opened flowers is taken as the beginning of flowering, and mass flowering occurs when 30% of the plants in the area are with flowers. The end of flowering - when single flowering plants remain on the site. Knowing the beginning and end of the mass flowering of honey plants, it is easy to determine the time of delivery of bees to them and the duration of the honey flow. V. TSYGANKOV.

According to statistics, every third person on the planet suffers from hay fever or seasonal allergies. Unfortunately, not only adults, but also children are exposed to them. It is practically impossible to predict when and in what period this or that allergen will bloom, so the flowering calendar for an allergic person comes to the rescue. It is he who will help to prepare and take the necessary measures in advance.

Consequences of the disease

Pollinosis or seasonal allergies occur in almost a third of the population. It is difficult to confuse the disease with others, the symptoms are pronounced and appear quickly enough.

Symptoms:

sneezing and coughing;
conjunctivitis, lacrimation, severe pain and itching in the eyes, inflammation of the eyelids;
runny nose or allergic rhinitis;
less often there may be temporary pain in the ears, throat.

Pollinosis in a prolonged form contributes to the occurrence of such serious disorders as pollen asthma, Quincke's edema and urticaria. In young children, short-term hearing loss, stuffy ears can be provoked, in rare cases pollinosis turns into a severe form of bronchial asthma.

Also, there is a possibility of identifying cross-allergies. This phenomenon often manifests itself when certain foods are added to the diet. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to identify the possible cause of certain allergic reactions.

Plants are allergens

There are a huge number of plants and trees that can provoke allergic reactions with their release of pollen during the period of active flowering. The most dangerous allergens are specimens from the ambrosia family, such as daisies and sunflowers. They are able to provoke the most severe consequences of hay fever.

Therefore, when planning the planting of garden plants in the garden, one should lean towards the choice of hypoallergenic plants.

Pollen from trees such as poplar, apple, olive, ash and yew can cause serious consequences. They do not have a lot of pollen, but it has the strongest allergens. Trees such as: alder, birch and oak, when flowering, are capable of releasing a huge amount of pollen, which can also affect the health of an allergic person.

Plants that are considered medicinal are also no exception and often cause hay fever. For example, chamomile, for all its benefits, is also the strongest allergen. Pansies, tulips, crocuses and carnations are garden allergens, before planting these beautiful flowers, you need to make sure that relatives and friends are not allergic to the pollen of these flowers.

The form and severity of the course of the disease directly depends on the amount of pollen in the air. It spreads fastest in warm, dry weather. Therefore, all walks for allergy sufferers should be postponed for the cool time of the day. During flowering, prophylactic antihistamines are recommended.

allergen bloom time

There are 3 types of hay fever. They are divided according to the period of active flowering of plants - allergens.

Types of hay fever:

Summer - begins in June and lasts until August. During this period, cereal crops and meadow grasses bloom.
Spring - duration May - June. At this time, flowering shrubs and trees fall.
Summer - autumn - its time is August - October. Weeds are in full bloom.

Flowering in different cities can vary significantly. Therefore, a person suffering from hay fever must know in advance which plant blooms and when in a certain region of his residence or temporary presence.

Allergy calendar benefits

Having such a useful plant flowering calendar always at hand, an allergic person can, having studied it in advance, take preventive measures to combat allergies. For example, during the flowering period, a person can leave the region and go to another city where the allergen has already bloomed.

In addition, a preventive measure is taking an antihistamine. These include: antiallergic sprays, drops for the eyes and nose. A good prevention would be to take such a folk remedy as mummy. Take it a month before active flowering.

The main condition for a suitable calendar is its direct attachment to certain climatic conditions.

Flowering calendar by city

People suffering from pollinosis should always have a schedule of flowering plants by city. Also, you need to know that trees become active allergens in spring, herbaceous plants do not bloom during this period. The peak of flowering in all cities, as a rule, falls on the summer. Where an allergy sufferer's calendar marks many herbs and plants, especially in late summer and early autumn, weeds such as ragweed begin to annoy. Allergy sufferers can forget about the pathology only in winter.

Treatment methods for hay fever

When the first symptom of the disease appears, it is recommended to immediately consult a specialist. The main thing is to identify the main cause of the disease and the allergen itself. After detection, the doctor prescribes an effective drug treatment.

It must be remembered that in any case it is necessary to consult a doctor. Pollinosis is a serious disease and it is absolutely impossible to engage in self-treatment.

The first step with which it is recommended to start treatment is to stop any contact with allergenic plants. The doctor prescribes a course of treatment with antihistamines. Every 10 days, as a rule, the drugs alternate with each other. Nasal drops or eye drops may be prescribed at the same time. Less often, with the course of the disease in severe cases, hormonal drugs are prescribed. They are prescribed until full recovery.

Effective drugs against hay fever:

Ketotifen;
Tavegil;
Fenkarol;
Suprastin.

You can use antihistamines for the prevention of the period and during the active flowering of allergens. They effectively relieve symptoms, and a person tolerates it much more easily.

Antihistamines:

Zyrtec;
Semprex;
Telfast.

Before starting the use of prophylactic drugs, you need to make sure that the symptoms that appear are really signs of an allergy.

Identification of the disease

The first sign of pollinosis can be noted indisposition of the general condition of a person, while attacks of headache and shortness of breath are possible. Further, as a rule, there is a burning sensation and itching in the mouth.

The next stage begins sneezing, irritation of the mucous membrane, conjunctivitis is possible. Cough appears when the reaction affects the bronchi. Allergies appear regardless of age categories. First of all, it affects the respiratory system, skin, gastrointestinal tract.

It is very important, at the first symptoms, to determine whether conjunctivitis or a runny nose is really allergic.

Conjunctivitis can be bacterial, viral or allergic.

Distinctive features of allergic conjunctivitis:

a liquid similar to simple water is released from the eyes;
severe itching appears in the eyes, they instantly turn red;
pathology is associated with the intake of new drugs, in contact with animals and with the flowering of herbs.

If certain flowering factors become the causes, definitely hay fever.

Allergic rhinitis can also be easily identified.

Signs of allergic rhinitis:

directly related only to seasonal flowering factors;
there are no symptoms of SARS;
a large amount of liquid is released from the nose;
in the nose is constantly worried about itching, which is accompanied by sneezing;
the throat, eyes, and often the skin begin to itch.

Diagnosis - pollinosis doctor can put without difficulty. Allergy tests help with this. To do this, a few drops of allergens are applied to the forearm. Then, in turn, each drop of the allergen must be scratched with a scarifier. At the same time, the allergen gets under the skin and after a few minutes the doctor determines the allergen.

Although the disease is detected without much difficulty, it is very difficult to deal with it. To alleviate the symptoms of pollinosis, contact with allergenic plants can be prevented by using a flowering calendar.

Pollinosis, or seasonal allergic rhinitis, occurs during the flowering of wind-pollinated plants. Their pollen has a spherical shape and a size of no more than 0.04 mm. This contributes to its transfer to thousands of distances and penetration into the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity or eyeballs.

How to identify an allergen?

Flowering calendar for central Russia

the spring period lasts from mid-April to the end of May, when wind-pollinated trees (willow, alder, hazel, elm, aspen, willow) bloom in the second half of April; poplar - in the first two decades of May; birch and maple - in the beginning of the third ten days of May);
the summer period lasts throughout June and July, when grasses, meadow and cereals bloom (dandelion - the first decade of June; bonfire and foxtail - throughout June; linden - in the last week of June and the first week of July; fescue, hedgehog, couch grass, timothy grass, bluegrass - all July);
the summer-autumn period includes the last week of July, August, September and the beginning of October. During these months, weeds bloom - wormwood, ragweed, cyclamen and quinoa.

What is important to know when using the flowering calendar

How useful is the bloom calendar?

at the time of flowering of the plant that provokes allergies, go to another area where the allergen is not yet or is no longer activated;
if this is not possible, plan walks in such a way as to minimize the time of contact with the hazardous substance;
start taking the antihistamines recommended by the doctor, and start taking at least half a month before the start of flowering - this will make the manifestations of allergies a little less acute;
in winter, when there is no allergen in nature, give them injections, gradually increasing the amount of the substance - this is called specific therapy, the essence of which is that with the introduction of such injections, the body will get used to the aggressive substance, and during the period of exacerbation it will not allow so violently react to it.

Folk methods of treatment and prevention of hay fever

So here are some recipes:

In winter, it is recommended to take an infusion of a plant that causes an allergic reaction in summer. To do this, take crushed dry leaves and pour them with a glass of boiling water. One tablespoon will suffice. Reception begins with a minimum dose (about a teaspoon per day), and if allergy symptoms do not appear (itching, rash, runny nose, lacrimation, etc.), it is gradually increased.
Another effective method is to take honey from plant pollen, which provokes a non-standard reaction of the body. Among other things, honey and bee products are excellent prophylactic agents against hay fever.
Another interesting, and, moreover, pleasant way is to take warm baths with the flower of the plant that causes a negative reaction of the body in the summer. If it is not possible to get flowers, you can replace them with essential oils.

Flowering and dusting calendar: periodicity of dangerous moments

There are three pollen waves:

spring - associated with the flowering of trees (peak occurs in April - May);
summer - during the flowering period of cereals;
summer-autumn - associated with weed pollen.

But in each region, both the plants themselves and the timing of their flowering can vary significantly.

Knowing the flowering period of "dangerous" plants, you can prepare in advance for the hay fever season.

Anyone with a pollen allergy should keep a pollen calendar close at hand. After all, "forewarned is forearmed."

Features of the disease

Signs and symptoms of allergic reactions

Inadequate reaction of the immune system to the allergen in the form of pollen is manifested by the following conditions:

the occurrence of sensations of itching and irritation in the nasal cavity;
the appearance of mucous discharge from the nose;
nasal congestion and bouts of sneezing;
noise and pain in the ears (typical for childhood);
itching, redness of the eyes;
the appearance of swelling and lacrimation;
manifestations of asthma attacks;
skin reactions in the form of atopic dermatitis.

Features of the calendar for allergy sufferers

Knowledge of the characteristics of flowering and dusting of plants, the pollen of which is dangerous for allergy sufferers, helps to quickly and accurately determine the cause of the disease and choose effective methods of dealing with it. Thanks to the specially compiled plant flowering calendar for 2018, this process becomes much easier for allergy sufferers. As before, in 2018 there are three main time periods when the saturation of the air with allergens is especially high:

spring time when the trees are in bloom;
summer period, marked by the flowering of meadow grasses;
autumn, during which herbs related to weeds bloom.

Plant pollination table

The climatic map of the flora plays an important role, as regions may differ in weather conditions and plant species. It is imperative to take into account the adaptation of the calendar to climatic zones, because the season of flowering and pollen formation in plants in the Crimea has significant differences from, for example, Moscow. For the inhabitants of the southern regions, the duration of the "dangerous" periods of time is much longer than for the inhabitants of the northern ones.

The dusting season in the European part of the Russian Federation begins with the flowering of gray alder. In March 2018, a high level of air saturation with the pollen of this plant was revealed. May is characterized by the flowering of hawthorn, cornflower, wild rose. In the summer, many plants begin to bloom that can provoke allergic manifestations. The 2018 Summer Bloom Calendar contains data on many herbaceous plants.

Allergy calendar for the central region of Russia

The flowering calendar of plants is of great importance for allergy sufferers. Thanks to this calendar, you can properly plan your vacation in 2018, avoiding regions with a high concentration of allergens in the air. But most importantly, its purpose is to help diagnose the cause of a nonspecific immune response. Timely identification and exclusion of allergens will help to correctly and successfully apply the appropriate means in the fight against the disease.

A common problem - with the beginning of flowering plants, more and more people complain of seasonal allergies, deterioration of health, weakness, nasal congestion. To prevent these ailments, we suggest studying the flowering calendar for allergy sufferers 2018. It will help you figure out when to expect problems, and apply preventive measures in advance.

Seasonal allergy symptoms in adults and children

The most common type of seasonal allergy is pollinosis (or hay fever). Its symptoms may vary:

runny or stuffy nose (allergic rhinitis);
frequent sneezing, dry cough;
possible pain in the ears, throat;
frequent lacrimation, inflammation of the eyes, pain, itching (conjunctivitis).

Pollinosis in a severe stage is pollen asthma. In addition, seasonal flowering can provoke Quincke's edema and urticaria in people. Pollinosis can occur at any age, in children, adults, the elderly. Children's pollinosis often turns into bronchial asthma, proceeds with severe congestion of the ears and nose.

When to expect the onset of allergies?

It is very important to study the flowering schedule in advance so that the disease does not take you by surprise and does not violate plans! Moreover, it should be borne in mind that there are several types of seasonal allergies:

Spring (usually in April-May) - occurs when trees bloom;
Summer (June-August) - when flowering meadow herbs, iconic;
Summer-autumn (in August-September) - when weeds bloom.

In the spring comes the first "wave" of deterioration in the health of allergy sufferers, as willow, cherry and willow in April, birch begin to bloom. Herbaceous plants at this time are just beginning to grow; in May, clover, cornflower, and chamomile are the first to bloom. A little later, the flowering of lily of the valley, cinquefoil, lilac and bird cherry, wild rose and hawthorn begins.

Summer is considered the most difficult period for allergy sufferers, when many types of plants bloom. This is carnation, elecampane, St. John's wort, viburnum, cornflower, clover, chestnuts continue to bloom actively. In July, ragweed blooms in the southern regions, motherwort, thistle, hemp, wheatgrass begin to bloom. They continue to flourish and grow in August. Plus, in August days, fruits begin to ripen, sunflower, foxglove, thistle, quinoa, nettle bloom.

With the advent of September, the allergy does not end, as ambrosia, nettle, thistle and quinoa still bloom. This continues until the end of the month (in some regions longer), and then for allergy sufferers, the time comes for the weakening of the disease.

In addition to the above plants, other wind-pollinated flowers, trees, and herbs also cause allergies (see table).

Unfortunately, seasonal allergies can return in late autumn, during the period of leaf fall. The fact is that pollen often settles on the leaves and when we walk on them, it again gets into the air.

This is general information, and you can find out specifically what blooms and when in your city using the https://yandex.ru/pogoda/moscow/maps/pollen service. This is a very convenient Yandex map for allergy sufferers, which shows the concentration of pollen from plants and trees in different places.

Why is it important to consider the flowering schedule

Like many diseases, seasonal allergies are easier to prevent than to treat or "carry on your feet." Therefore, having studied the calendar, you can think over your actions - take a vacation during active flowering, go to another region, start taking antihistamines, update the first-aid kit with antiallergic drugs (sprays, drops).

Shilajit is a folk prophylactic against allergies. It is recommended to drink it for prevention a month before active flowering.

Another tip - clean the filters of the air conditioner, check its operation. This will also help protect against hay fever.

When to start preparing? It is important to understand here that in Russia there are several climatic and natural zones, so the flowering time for each region will be different. To help - a pollen map for allergy sufferers, which clearly shows that in the southern regions flowering takes longer and begins earlier than in the northern ones. In the Krasnodar Territory, ambrosia blooms until October, in the Crimea - other allergenic flowers.

Consider the flowering periods for some major cities and regions.

How to identify seasonal allergies

This is not easy, so it is important to observe closely to identify the underlying allergen. The manifestation of an allergy is often disguised as an acute respiratory disease, a cold, the symptoms are largely similar: sore throat, runny nose, sneezing or coughing. Flower monitoring for allergy sufferers helps to identify the allergenic plant.

Another nuance - you need to pay attention if you feel unwell in dry windy weather, and after rain it becomes easier for you. The disease will be determined by an experienced allergist who will conduct a series of skin tests. This is an informative method, which consists in introducing a small dose of an allergen into the body and monitoring the reaction to it.

How is allergy treated?

Taking medication - antihistamines;
Eye and nasal drops help relieve swelling and improve the condition;
Special creams and ointments eliminate skin manifestations of allergies.
A light diet improves the general condition of the patient.

Revise your diet for a while. So, it is better to refuse natural honey, since it often contains plant pollen. You can also reduce the consumption of berries, fruits, even cereals, seeds, sunflower oil.
Maintain cleanliness, carry out wet cleaning at home regularly. This helps eliminate pollen that enters through windows/doors.
Use modern air purifiers. For example, a breather that refreshes the air in the house with the windows closed, cleans and disinfects. This device is necessary in the home of allergy sufferers, as it also protects against animal hair, exhaust gases from the street and other allergens. and you can order its quick installation on our website.

Discuss with your doctor which antihistamines are right for you. It is important to remember that some of them provoke drowsiness, reduce attention. Do not take these drugs along with alcohol, so as not to harm the body.
Treat with allergens in autumn or winter. In this case, the doctor calculates the drugs and their dosage individually.
