Hello Purposeful Soul

Calling all Seasonal Allergy Sufferers!  

Here are some tips to work with your body during this season of BLOOM and you know by now I believe in many methods of natural remedies which way are essential oils. 

Many essential oils have been shown to support seasonal allergies.  

Let's take a look some that are on top of my list at the moment. 

Lavender - Reduces allergic inflammation and enlargement of mucus cells

Lemon - Clears sinuses and reduces congestion

Frankincense, sandalwood and ravintsara blend can alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis

Another way you can use essential oils during allergy season is to diffuse. Here are some blends you can ensure that are natural to breathe in and fill your home. 

Outdoor Summer blend

3 drops Eucalyptus

2 drops Cypress

2 Drops Lemon

Soothing Breath

3 drops Eucalyptus 

2 drops Rosemary

3 drops Peppermint

For those of you getting started with essential oils, let's go Back to the Basics and take a look at a simple blend good for daily use year round, 

Starter Blend

2 drops Lavender

2 drops Lemon

2 drops Peppermint

And for me there is nothing like VERY simple and minimalistic oils that can create a sense of harmony, relaxation and happiness in which case in this moment I choose Peppermint!  Its such a clean and invigorating scent to enjoy year round. 

Only 5 drops of Peppermint in your diffuser and your good to start your day. 

Even though I talk about these oils to diffuse above there is also a product doTERRA offers called TriEase Seasonal Blend Softgels to be ingested. 

These softgels include a balance of Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint essential oils to support a healthy respiratory system and help your body deal with seasonal shifts, based on findings of preclinical research.

Lemon oil is high in limonene, which has been shown to support a healthy immune response in experimental research.*  When ingested, Lavender oil is known for its calming and balancing effects, while Peppermint oil supports clear breathing.*

I do enjoy a pre-mix that is ready for me while I am on the run to school drop-offs, traveling, or spending time outdoors while starting to garden this April!
