To aid seasonal allergies, consider trying aromatherapy remedies for natural relief. Essential oils can provide antihistamine and anti-inflammatory benefits without harsh chemical side effects.
Create your own Antihistamine Aromatherapy Blend for tackling hay fever symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes and congestion.
Antihistamine Aromatherapy Blend
- 30 drops lavender essential oil
- 20 drops peppermint essential oil
- 15 drops lemon essential oil
- 10 drops chamomile essential oil (not stocked at Wild Oats)
- 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- 5 drops geranium essential oil
How to make your Antihistamine Aromatherapy Blend
Lavender, peppermint, lemon and chamomile support and calm your body's reaction to histamine while eucalyptus and geranium help with a healthy inflammation response.
Add all these oils to a 10ml bottle, and give it a good shake. Add 10-15 drops of your blend to a diffuser or oil burner and breathe in deeply as needed for relief.
You can also add 6 drops of your blend to 10ml of carrier oil and apply topically (e.g. use to a roller ball and roll over your pulse points).
For congestion and to support cool and clear breathing, try Amour Natural's Breathe Ease blend.
