It’s that time again…Allergy season. I have clients coming in daily complaining about their allergies! The sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, coughing, it’s awful!
Some people turn to Benadryl, but find that it makes them so sleepy they cannot function. I know (years ago!) when I tried taking Benadryl it had the opposite effect on me and made me hyper! Others try things like Claritin or Zyrtec, but again, find that they either don’t work very well OR make them tired. I don’t know about YOU, but I am not very functional if I am tired, so it pretty much affects most of their day.
When I found doTerra oils I was so happy to find out that they have 3 oils that help with allergies WITHOUT the drowsy effect OR hyper affect! I use these oils on the kids all the time and now they ask for them instead of wanting “medicine.”
Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint essential oils can create a powerful all-natural antihistamine Combining these three oils can help to bring down inflammation resulting from your body’s allergic response. These oils are great for airborne allergies. I have even found them to help calm down any histamine reaction to foods or animals that I have. 🙂
Here is the allergy protocol using the essential oils.

Soothes skin irritations, burns, etc
