It’s allergy season, ugh! I am feeling the allergy blues lately. Luckily my symptoms are mild this year. I wanted to share with you some great essential oils<\/a> to get you through allergy season. I know it’s easier to grab an allergy pill at times, but it’s also good to incorporate holistic methods as well. I only grab an allergy pill when absolutely necessary. Fortunately, I have been able to avoid taking one for seasonal allergies in over 5 years.<\/p>\n

Remember, a little bit goes a long way when using essential oils. All of the oils listed below have other uses as well. I will feature essential oil tips soon<\/a>. One of the easiest ways to use these oils is to add a few drops to a washcloth and place it on your shower floor. The steam from the shower and oil will help to clear up congestion. You can also massage a few drops on your chest before you take a shower. You can also place the washcloth on your chest as well.<\/p>\n

Eucalyptus Oil<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This is the rockstar oil for colds and allergies! Eucalyptus<\/a> is an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antimicrobial essential oil. In addition, it can help with an immune response that takes place when you come into contact with allergens. It relieves the following symptoms: coughing, sinus\/chest congestion, sore throat and muscle & joint pain.<\/p>\n

Lemon Oil<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you suffer from hyperpigmentation or post-acne scarring, add a few drops of lemon oil to a carrier oil and apply to the area of concern. Remember, be sure to cover areas exposed to the sun while using lemon oil since you will be more prone to photosensitivity and potential sunburn. For allergy care, adding lemon oil to your diffuser will help alleviate symptoms. Lemon oil<\/a> is great detoxifier, make sure you buy lemon oil meant for consumption if you plan to add a few drops to your water.<\/p>\n

\"Essential<\/a>

Peppermint Oil<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Since peppermint oil is an expectorant, it’s one of the most popular essentials oils during allergy season. Peppermint oil<\/a> provides instant relief for congestion and reduces phlegm. Add a few drops to your humidifier or mix it with a carrier oil such as avocado oil and use it topically.<\/p>\n

Clove Oil<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Clove oil is one of my favourite oils to use during allergy season. In fact, I added it to my diffuser all year, I love the way it smells. What does clove oil<\/a> do? Clove contains antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. It’s a milder oil than eucalyptus oil and great for those who don’t like a strong-smelling oil. Here are a few great ways of incorporating clove oil into your allergy care regimen: add a few drops to your lotion, body oil, body\/face wash (great for acne).<\/p>\n
