Is your neighbor's pollen bothering you? Here's what you can do about it. It is not uncommon for allergy sufferers to have to expect pollen as early as January.

Hazelnut and alder are particularly responsible here, as My Beautiful Garden reports. Talk to your neighbor. They may be willing to move or trim plants bordering your property. With the right medicinal plants you can combat allergies in a natural way. For example, dried butterbur, bear pod extracts or black cumin oil help against allergic symptoms.
