Essential Oils help relieve Seasonal Allergy Symptoms

The Allergy Season is Upon Us

What makes late Winter or early Spring so wonderful for many people can lead to total misery tor those who suffer from seasonal allergies. Fresh cut grass, blossoming trees. Flowering weeds – all release pollen.
Whether your allergies are caused by airborne pollen, food sensitivity, toxins from the environment, the reaction is a histamine response which often causes inflammation.
Seasonal allergies are no fun. Thankfully, you can use essential oils as a natural helper. The constant sneezing, sniffing and wheezing is enough to wear you down. Essential oils have benefits that can reduce inflammation, alleviate your symptoms and support your immune system against the environment.
Let’s take a look at ways to reduce your response to allergens by removing them from your home. Products like cleaning sprays, hand cleaners and linen sprays. Essential oils can reduce the toxins in a cleaning product, which can cause inflammation. Consider minimizing airborne toxins by changing the type of household products you use. Cleaning products can cause major aggravation for allergies especially ASTHMA.

Second, let’s look at the symptoms; congestions, watery eyes, sneezing. These can be eliminated by using essential oils.
