Why could I have such a severe reaction despite the pollen count being so low?

As we have had quite a mild winter this year, and the temperatures are currently fairly high, plants are beginning to pollinate a little earlier than normal. Although this only amounts to a small amount of pollen in the air, and therefore a low pollen count, it can still mix with pollution to make symptoms more severe. This is particularly noticeable if you live in a town or city.

To manage symptoms at this time you may find a herbal remedy such as our Luffa tincture to be helpful.
