General information

How pollen works?

An important external aeroallergen causing features of allergic rhinitis for sensitive persons is airborne pollen. It is a part of the plant whose primary purpose is to help plants to spread and consolidate on the soil surface. Pollen is the male part of sexual reproduction in plants, which in nature carries the genetic information of the species. Pollen is known as a health enhancer, and the preparations made from it are even now used in human nutrition and medicine. For a long time, pollen has been associated only with health promotion, but alongside medical progress and deepening in the course of allergic diseases, it was noticed that these particles of plants may also have a negative impact on human health. This relates to the structure of a protein in pollen and the non-typical reaction of the human body to various proteins in pollen. Some pollen is the cause of allergic rhinitis.
