Hello, this is Sonata 🌿✨

When people hear the words “seasonal allergies,” many immediately think of spring.

Cedar and cypress pollen can bring runny noses, sneezing, itchy eyes, and other familiar symptoms 🤧

I have also tended to think of pollen mainly as a springtime issue, but in fact, there is also an autumn pollen season 🍂

Lately, my throat has been feeling a little hoarse.

Sometimes I find myself wondering,

“Could autumn pollen be part of the reason?”

Of course, throat discomfort can have many possible causes, including dryness and changes in temperature, so I cannot say that pollen is definitely the cause.

Still, this is a time of year when autumn pollen is present.

When I looked into it again, I learned that different types of plants release pollen in autumn compared with spring 🌿

🌾 Autumn Has Its Own Types of Pollen

Some of the plants commonly associated with autumn pollen include ragweed, mugwort, and Japanese hop.

Their pollen can be released from late summer into autumn.

Grass pollen can also remain present for a relatively long period in some parts of Japan.

And although Japanese cedar pollen is most strongly associated with spring, small amounts may also be present in certain regions and seasons during autumn.

So apparently,

“Spring is over, so pollen season is over!”

is not quite that simple 😅

Autumn is also a time when temperatures can vary considerably between morning, daytime, and evening.

Recently, we have had stretches of rainy weather and sudden changes in temperature, so the weather has not exactly been stable either ☔️🍂

I have always felt fairly sensitive to seasonal changes, so at this time of year I tend to pay a little more attention to how I am feeling.

🌿 Hydrogen Is Simply Part of My Usual Routine

In previous seasonal posts, I have also written about allergies and pollen.

At that time, I shared some of my personal experiences from when I first began using hydrogen inhalation.

Now that hydrogen has been part of my life for a long time, however, I no longer think of it as,

“I have symptoms today, so I should use hydrogen.”

In the morning, I drink hydrogen water 💧

At home, I enjoy a hydrogen bath 🛁

And at night, I continue with my usual hydrogen inhalation 🌙

I follow the same routine whether it is pollen season or not.

I cannot say that hydrogen inhalation treats seasonal allergies or improves allergy symptoms.

I also do not assume,

“I feel better this time because of hydrogen,”

or,

“If my throat improves, it must be because of hydrogen.”

How we feel can be influenced by many different factors, including sleep, diet, weather, stress, and our overall environment.

For me, hydrogen inhalation has simply become part of my usual nighttime routine before bed 😊

🍂 Learning to Live with Autumn Pollen

Pollen season does not only happen in spring.

Autumn has its own seasonal allergens as well.

If you notice things such as,

“My nose has been feeling a little irritated lately,”

or,

“My throat feels a little different than usual,”

it may be worth paying attention to seasonal changes and your surroundings.

Of course, if symptoms continue or become more severe, it is important not to
