There are all kinds of allergies that people deal with. One of the most common and annoying kinds of allergies can be seasonal allergies. Millions of people struggle with these kind of allergies and will seek help hoping to find relief from various over the counter medications.
But these medications have side effects such as drowsiness, stomach upset and dry mouth.
There are more natural ways that you can find allergy relief. You can use essential oils.
You'll want to look for essential oils that give you the same relief that you'll find in an antihistamine but won't also give you any of the bothersome side effects.
One of the most popular oils to use for allergies is lavender essential oil.
You can find this oil in soft gel form and some are manufactured to be safe for internal use.
But some of the soft gels are not safe for internal use so make sure you only take ones that have been approved.
You can use lavender oil in a variety of ways to get relief.
You can mix it with a carrier oil and place two to three drops on a cotton ball. You can breathe these in like you would a sniffing salt.
But you can also add drops to warm bath water and the vapors will give you allergy relief as you soak.
Some people choose to boil water, pour that water into a bowl and add two to three drops.
You then place a towel over your head and lean in to inhale the vapors. Lemon essential oil is another oil that's helpful in dealing with allergies.
This essential oil is known to help the body deal with the spores that plants and other allergens give off.
These spores often trigger an allergic response. This oil can be used several ways depending on the kind that you buy. You can use it directly by applying it onto the skin.
Or you can diffuse it, drink it in a tea or use it as an inhalant. It contains antibacterial as well as antiviral properties.
Peppermint essential oil can help with inflammations and irritations caused by allergies.
The oil has an analgesic property which can help with any pain associated with the allergy. You can choose to apply this directly to your skin but only if you diffuse it first.
You can also place a drop of the diffused solution on your hand and inhale the scent.
Eucalyptus essential oil can help clear a stuffed up nose caused by allergies. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm a reaction to allergens. This oil can't be applied directly to the skin in its natural form.
