How to Use Essential Oils for Seasonal Allergies

Okay so it’s allergy season 🙄

But If you’re like me, then this often feels like a year-round thing, not just a specific season.

So trust me when I say I understand your pain and frustration.

In this blog post, I will talk about how certain essential oils can help you relieve your allergies so that you can function like a normal human being instead of sniffing and sneezing every 5 seconds.

Let’s get to it!

Essential Oils

First of all, there are a variety of different ways you can use essential oils to help with your allergies.

• You can use a diffuser and diffuse the aroma into the air.

• You can use them in certain bath and spa products.

• Or you can just simply spray them into the air.

Now the method you use for your allergies honestly depends on the essential oil.

Later on, I may post another blog post on how exactly essential oils work to help relieve your allergies,

But for this post, I just wanna focus on specific EO’s and how these fragrances can help you.

Eucalyptus Oil

This is one of my favorite essential oils for my allergies. Eucalyptus oil really helps to open up and clear my sinuses when my nose is super clogged.

One of the best ways to utilize this essential oil for your allergies is to inhale it.

I like to burn a eucalyptus candle in the background (and most of the time I’m okay with just doing this)

But when my allergies really start to kick my butt,  I like to get a cup of boiling hot water and add just a few drops of Eucalyptus oil to it.

I’ll then place a towel over my head, lean my face over the bowl and just inhale for 5-10 minutes.

I like to use this time to meditate as well to try and clear my mind.

Peppermint Oil

Another one of my favorites!

I like to use our Calming Eucalyptus candle because of the combination of eucalyptus and peppermint for my allergies.

But if that just won’t do the trick for me.

Then I’ll apply a generous amount of peppermint oil topically to my neck and temples with our EO roll-on to help unclog my sinuses (Eucalyptus Roll-on Coming Soon).

Give these two essential oils a try the next time your allergies are acting up and let me know how they work.
