I don’t want the majority of you to hate me, but Arizona has been having crazy weather lately…but not the kind that most of you are experiencing. Most of you are stuck in terrible winter storms, and I am so sorry. We, however, are stuck in a place that can’t make up its mind on what season it is. We fluctuate from 50 degrees to almost 80 in just a week. To some people, this might sound like heaven. But for people like me and others who suffer from seasonal allergies, you could call it a nightmare. And that’s putting it nicely.
I personally know a lot of people who tend to find themselves in similar positions when this season hits, and we all have different ways to cope. Take my best friend for example. She has recently reached out to a professional company like Peace Heating And Air Conditioning because she thinks that the air ducts within the system are withholding some of the most harmful allergens, which are making her allergies worse. And when they came to give it a good clean, she noticed a positive change, and it also means that she has access to cool heat when it gets too warm outside. I completely get that what works for one person won’t work for another, which is why I like to experiment with as many options as I can.
I have always had pretty bad seasonal issues, and most years have just resolved to taking medicine daily during the bad season. Right around when I wanted to get pregnant with Bray, I decided I would try to go a more natural route when it came to my health. I learned about natural healing, what a Naturopath Kingston can help you with, changes I can make to my diet, and other things that would let me live a more naturally healthy life. However, I’ve never had much success with defeating my seasonal allergies… until now.
When I got my Young Living Essential Oils premium starter kit a year ago, I knew I wanted to try out their classic Pollen Problem trio right away. It blew me away how well it worked. Seriously. That was actually one of the first things I fell in love with when it came to the oils.
Because it just works so insanely well for me, I wanted to share my tricks on it with y’all {I promise not to continually post on oils 24/7 dont you worry!}
The main ways I use this trio of Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint are:
1- Apply three drops of each oil to the back of my neck. It penetrates quickly and feels so good because of the tingle from the Peppermint.
2- My most common way I use this trio is taking it internally in a vegetable capsule. I simply put 5 drops of each oil, and take one capsule a day.
3- If it is full blown pollen problem season, I also diffuse the trio first thing in the morning before we leave the house.
4- for Bray {not Winston, he’s too young for honey- and he hasn’t shown any allergies yet} if he seems to be affected, I will put a drop of each oil in a spoonful of local honey and he takes it right down! He even thinks its a treat:) With the honey, the more natural it is, the better. The organic, raw honey sold by Gold Bee is just about as natural as it gets, so something like that is perfect for this.
A little trick if your kid isn’t great about taking something off of a spoon: use one of those medicine syringes and suck up the honey and oils and then squirt in their mouth!
It is amazing how not only does this work better for me than any OTC medicine, but it also doesn’t leave me with any of the side effects that the meds do! Win, win!
