Essential Oils to Relieve Allergy Symptoms

3/23/2020

 
I hope you and your family are well during this difficult time we are going through. There is plenty of both negative and informative information out there on what is going on and I feel that I do not need to contribute more to it. Instead, I'm choosing, for the most part, to continue posting positive or different types of information so you have something other the

​coronavirus (COVID-19) to see or listen too. We all need a distraction to break up our days at the moment. I did, however, dedicated my next radio show to the herbs that can help you if you do get infected with the virus. It aired today, click here to listen to it or to listen to my previous show.
So today I'm writing about essential oils that can help you if you have seasonal allergy symptoms. Regardless of what is going on right now, if you suffer from seasonal allergies, you have symptoms now and they need relief. So here is a list of essential oils I have found useful to relieve my allergy symptoms:
  • Peppermint has anti-inflammatory properties and can help to quickly clear blocked sinuses and ease nasal congestion caused by allergies.
  • Lavender works as a natural antihistamine and will help to reduce inflammatory allergic reactions in your body. 
  • Chamomile is a soothing herb that is known for its relaxing properties. If you have itchy, red skin rashes or hives caused by allergies, then use chamomile oil for fast relief.
  • Tea Tree Oil can help to remedy allergic skin reactions by reducing inflammation and preventing infections. The antibacterial properties of tea tree oil can also be useful in destroying mold, fungi, and bacteria particles in the air, thus reducing symptoms of allergies at home.
  • Lemon is used to treat respiratory problems associated with allergic reactions. Lemon is a natural antioxidant agent that can help cleanse toxins and reduce the body’s response to allergens.
  • Camphor is anti-inflammatory and has an affinity for sinus cavities, it is often found in vapor rub formulas because it relieves coughs and supports the respiratory system
  • Eucalyptus is often used in a steam inhalation to help clear nasal and sinus congestion. It is said to work similarly to menthol, by acting on receptors in the nasal mucous membranes, leading to a reduction of nasal stuffiness.
Use these essential oils individually or mix them and create your own respiratory support formula. But for convenience (and to save money), you can also get an antimicrobial and respiratory support essential oils formulas on my website. These can be used to relieve congestion and prevent sinus infections.
All the essential oils listed in this email can be used to loosen up your stuffy nose. One of the best methods to do this is by steam inhalation. The way you do it is to hold your head over a pot of boiling water, add about 5 drops of the essential oil of your choice (or a combination of antimicrobial essential oils).  Breathe slowly through your nose but be careful to not burn yourself. This also helps with sinus infections. You can also get some relief an essential oil diffuser in your bedroom (use 10 drops of essential oil). Additionally, you may add one drop (only one) of eucalyptus or juniper essential oil to your saltwater rinse or neti-pot.
Remember, I'm always here to help if you have any questions of essential oil for seasonal allergies email me at Toni@drToniCamacho.com 
Stay safe, and I will see you next week
Toni
