Every spring plants, flowers, and trees wage war against allergy sufferers. Seasonal changes can bring on allergies in some people. Essential oils can be a great way to help lessen the effects of seasonal allergies. Ease your allergy symptoms the all-natural way!

ESSENTIAL OILS SEASONAL ALLERGIES

If you or someone you know suffers from seasonal allergies, reach for essential oils to get some much-needed relief. Get back to feeling like yourself again!

Did you know there are over 200 different airborne allergens that can bring on sneezes and sniffles? These allergens cause the immune system to overreact, which triggers the release of histamines. This leads to uncomfortable symptoms like a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, and sinus discomfort. 

Nearly 50 million people suffer from allergies each year. Over-the-counter allergy medications come with a long list of side effects and warnings. They can cause drowsiness which may interfere with day-to-day activities. 

4 Common Causes of Allergies 

  • pollen from grass, weeds, trees, and flowers
  • animal dander
  • dust mites
  • mold

How to Use Essential Oils for Seasonal Allergies

  • diffuse them
  • add to an Epsom salt bath
  • make a roller blend and apply to the neck, temples, and forehead
  • make a room spray
  • add a few drops to your palms and take a deep breath
  • breathe deeply directly from the bottle
  • make a linen spray for pillows and sheets
