My seasonal allergies
have been much better over the years but the worst time for me has
always been the end of April and into May when all those lovely Lilac
bushes are blooming. Unfortunately someone brought a big bouquet of
lilacs to church and I was around them for more than three hours. I was
doing fine on Sunday but the next day my eyes were really suffering
from the itchies and nothing was calming them down.
I happened to be
looking on my facebook page and my niece mentioned that she was having
seasonal allergy problems and was using equal parts of lemon, lavender
and peppermint essential oils. I had
never heard about using oils for allergies, so I looked it up and it
looked like it would work. I got out an atomizer bottle and mixed the
three oils in it and got the diffuser going. I had it coming on every
ten minutes the first day and I would go in and get my nose right over
it and breathe it in. After a couple of hours the itchiness in my eyes
calmed right down. 
I have kept the
diffuser going for 5 minutes every 20 minutes for the past week and
have not had a flare up. I have been amazed to have no
allergy problems when I have left my home. I really like the smell of
the three oils together, when normally lavender is not one I enjoy. These three essential oils help clear the breathing, calm the inflammatory response and boosts
the immune system. I am sold on the effectiveness of using essential
oils to fight off allergy symptoms. Basil, Eucalyptus and
Tea Tree oil are also oils that
work well for allergies. 
I love the Advanced
Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser. I use the oils full strength
in the diffuser to get the most medicinal value out of them. I put 30
drops of each of the three oils into the atomizer bottle over a week
ago and it is still using them running 24 hours a day. Order online at Herbs First, or phone in your order 801-228-1901.
Have a great month!
