Rains of April

In Anatolia, people usually collect rain water during April. There is even an "April Bowl" in the grave of Mevlana to collect rain waters in April.

During April, with the beginning of spring, all the pollens, resins from the flowers and trees blend to atmosphere. And rain waters will naturally includes these materials. That's why it is believed to be healthy to drink or use these waters for bathing. But for the areas of high air pollution the situation is totally opposite.
