Jun

If you’re among the millions of people who are all too familiar with the sneezing, itching, and general discomfort of hay fever, you know that the summer months can be a challenge. But don’t let pollen spoil your summer fun. Essential oils from Atlantic Aromatics and Living Libations can offer a natural, refreshing solution to keep those hay fever symptoms at bay.

Understanding Hay Fever

Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic response to certain allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Symptoms include a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and frequent sneezing. As beautiful as summer can be, it’s also the season when plants release a large amount of pollen, causing hay fever symptoms to flare up.

Essential Oils for Relief

While there are plenty of over-the-counter remedies available, essential oils can offer a natural alternative with fewer side effects. They can be diffused, inhaled, or applied topically (with a carrier oil) to provide relief from hay fever symptoms.

1. Peppermint Oil (Atlantic Aromatics):

Peppermint oil is known for its anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties. It can help clear stuffed nasal passages and provide relief from a scratchy throat.

2. Lavender Oil (Living Libations):

Lavender is a natural antihistamine and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It can help soothe and calm irritated nasal passages and induce a restful sleep.

3. Lemon Oil (Atlantic Aromatics):

Lemon oil can improve immunity and help break down mucus caused by hay fever. Its refreshing scent is also a great mood booster.

DIY Essential Oil Blend

One way to use these oils is to make a DIY essential oil blend. Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

10 drops of lavender oil
10 drops of peppermint oil
10 drops of lemon oil
1/4 cup of a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba oil)

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients in a small, dark glass bottle. Shake to mix. Apply the mixture to your temples, behind the ears, and the back of your neck as needed. You can also place a few drops in a diffuser to disperse the scent throughout your home.

Remember, while essential oils can provide relief from symptoms, they’re not a cure for allergies. Always consult with a healthcare provider for severe allergies. Also, do a patch test to make sure you’re not allergic to the oils.

This summer, let essential oils from Atlantic Aromatics and Living Libations bring the focus back to enjoying the season, not sneezing through it!
