For many sufferers, allergy season lasts pretty much all year long. It can start as early as February and last all the way through November. Many of us suffer from respiratory issues such as congestion or difficulty in taking deep breaths. Other issues are stuffy sinuses, sneezing, and watery eyes. Yes, there are essential oils for allergies! dōTERRA offers Essential Oils and blends that protect against these seasonal or environmental threats. You can breathe easier throughout the change of seasons with help from Heavenly Embrace Wellness. Our aromatherapy line of essential oils by dōTERRA is a great option for these issues.

Essential Oils for Allergies: Breathe Respiratory Blend

Known for producing the highest quality essential oils for safe and effective self-care, dōTERRA and Heavenly Embrace Wellness have you covered! When seasonal threats are high use Breathe Respiratory Blend. This popular blend has a refreshing aroma that helps provide the feeling of clear airways for easier breathing. Breathe is a natural, quick remedy to help you through seasonal threats and symptoms.

Breathe Respiratory Blend, by doTERRA, contains a balanced blend of the following oils:

These oils help to relax your airways by opening breathing passages. Tea Tree Oil helps promote a healthy immune function and naturally cleanses your body. Lemon Peel and Cardamom Seed Oil uplifts and helps to boost your energy, concentration, and mental clarity.

Better Breathing At Home Or On The Go

Breathe Respiratory Blend can be diffused into the air at night to promote restful sleep. Using it during the day at home or in your office helps ease seasonal threats and boosts your energy. A drop or two can work well in diffuser jewelry, as well. If you are interested in this topic, check out our my Diffuser vs. Humidifier blog.

If you’re on the go, try rubbing a drop between your palms. Then inhale the scent by cupping your hands around your nose and mouth and breathing deep. Try this for a few moments but be sure to avoid your eyes, and remember to wash your hands afterward. This oil blend is safe to use on your skin, but it is recommended to dilute it with a carrier oil first. This helps to prevent any irritation. After dilution, apply the oil to your chest, wrists, or feet for added comfort. 

Essential Oils for Allergies – Lavender, Lemon & Peppermint

A great concoction that might help with your seasonal symptoms will be a combo of these essential oils – Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint (1:1:1 ratio). Blend these 3, in equal parts, in a shot glass with water, or diffuse them, or use them topically in a roller bottle filled with carrier oil on top of the mix. This combo really works!!! Cheers!

Essential Oils for Allergies – TriEase®

Another option will be the TriEase Softgels that were developed to protect against seasonal and environmental elements and to promote a healthy respiratory system when needed most. Basically, it’s the same concoction in convenient softgels. Formulated with a potent blend of essential oils, these softgels aim to promote clear breathing and support overall respiratory wellness.
