Using Essential Oils to Relieve Seasonal Allergies

Essential oils for seasonal allergies

What's Itching You?

Spring is here… but so are seasonal threats that can affect your respiratory and sinus functions. Over-the-counter drugs treat symptoms, whereas essential oils offer a natural way to address root causes and conditions.

When your body is exposed to allergens, it gets triggered. Your body's immune system works hard to fight them. This can create inflammation, leading to symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and itching.

Stress Creates Inflammation

It's important to recognize how your body reacts to stimuli. In this way, you can address them and calm your body down naturally without triggering a fight or flight response that gets activated by stress.

How to Feel Safe and Calm Right Now

One of the best ways to calm the body and address inflammation is through breathing. Taking deep breaths lets your body know it is safe.

Grab an essential oil such as Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, or Breathe. These can help uplift, calm, and support healthy respiratory function. Rub a drop or two of oil on your chest, but first apply a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil or olive oil to lessen any skin sensitivity. Next, inhale for 4 counts, hold your breath for 4 counts, then let it out for 6 counts. Repeat the process.

Another way to feel calm is by tapping the acupressure points running along your body's meridians using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
