Essential oils can really help reduce the symptoms of Spring Allergies.
However, essential oils for some can cause allergic reactions so be careful and go slow unless you are using these oils consistently already.
Best Essential Oils for Spring Allergies = Reduce Inflammation
The common denominator for all these first five oils is that they help reduce inflammation in the body
1.Lavender. Calms and reduces inflammation, prevents allergic inflammation as well as the enlargement of mucous cells. Lavender also helps us relax which can also be helpful when dealing with irritating allergies.
Use lavender in a diffuser, dilute in a carrier oil, add a few drops and soak in a bath.
2. Eucalyptus. Anti-inflammatory which helps with congestion relief. Also cooling.
Diffuse in air, breathe from the bottle.
3. Tea tree oil. Also anti-inflammatory as well as cleansing.
4. Peppermint. Reduces inflammation, cools, and helps relieve congestion.
Diffuse in air or breathe from the bottle. Consider a drop on your finger and then swipe on your tongue.
5. Lemon. Clears sinuses reduces congestion. This one may be a good choice if you find other oils too stimulating.
Oils to Help with Opening Constricted Airways
Frankincense and Rosemary both contain alpha-pinene which helps open constricted airways and is helpful for allergy relief.
Sandlewood and Roman Chamomile are Special
Sandlewood. This oil has been found to help decrease your body’s release of histamine and therefore, your body’s response to allergens.
Roman chamomile. Anti-inflammatory properties plus a relaxant. This oil is a nice gentle version with a soft scent if you find the others too harsh.
