Allergy Fixer-Upper

 

I don't know about you but my allergies this spring have hit me hard. This happens every year...I look forward to spring all winter and once it is here I get allergies and second guess my joy at spring finally being here. I recently started using essential oils and this is one of my favorite mixes. It's like a little allergy shot or as I like to call it my allergy fixer upper.

 

2 drops each of lavender, peppermint and lemon. You can take it a couple ways 1) Gargle and spit it out (swallowing oils is not recommended) 2)Apply it to the bottom of your feet. I only ever take it the first way. Warning: This is strong stuff! However, it clears me up so much that I get over the strength (I think from the peppermint) pretty quickly because I am so thankful to be able to breathe again. Warning: Read up on each oil before you use them to make sure you don't have a condition that will react poorly with the oils. 

 

You can use any brand of oils that you want, but I am partial to doTERRA because of the purity of their oils. To me if you are making a switch to all-natural, home remedies like essential oils, you want to make sure that what you are using is good stuff and doTERRA is good stuff. Not to say that there are not cheaper oils out there, but I feel comfortable with the purity of doTERRA oils for use with my family.

 

There are multiple ways to get these oils, one is by placing a one time order through my website. Another is by signing up through my website as a wellness advocate or preferred member which allows you some perks that just ordering off the website doesn't allow. You can also research and find other oils that you might like to use, but I can only tell you about my experience using doTERRA oils which has been great! As with anything, do you own research, consult a physician, etc. when trying something new like this. This is what works for me and my family and may not necessarily work for you.
