Allergy season is here to stay!

We are almost at the end of April and allergy season is in full swing in my house.  Running nose, congestion, post nasal drip, cough..... We have it all.  In the past I would have been medicating everyone in the house with Zyrtec and Tylenol Sinus & Congestion.   Unfortunately, they would only help relieve the symptoms temporarily and we would be right back where we started and usually be into a full blown sinus infections, bronchitis, etc.  

Now that I have been introduced to essential oils, I have new remedies to try with my family.  We have the allergy bomb which is 2 drops each of lavender, lemon, and peppermint in a shot glass with water.  You swish the water around in your mouth and then you swallow.  Immediate relief occurs!!  It is truly amazing. Even the hubby loves this one!

I also have seasonal blend pills.  It is the allergy bomb in a soft gel that is easy to take on the go.  These are my new best friend!  They work great on my 7 year old daughter as well.

Plus I also do a sinus rinse as needed.  I personally use the squeeze bottle.  I add one packet of the rinse mix and 1 drop of melaluca diluted with fractionated coconut oil on my cheeks.  This has helped tremendously with my chronic sinus headaches and pressure.  If I am feeling congestion and pressure in the morning I will do this sinus rinse and it gets the gunk out of my nose and the melaluca fights off any mold or other allergens in my sinus cavities.  I also use this one on my 7 year old daughter.  It has made a huge difference for both of us.  

I cant' say enough about how therapeutic grade essential oils are changing our lives.  I ran to Walgreen's the other day to get some batteries and I realized when I was walking in that I had not been there to buy OTC medicines for probably two months.  That is huge in my house!! Walgreens has always been my go to place for sinus meds, indigestion, reflux, headache, etc.  How awesome is it that I have not needed to replace any OTC.  Instead I have been able to use my all natural essential oils (allergy bomb, seasonal blend pills, digestive blend, soothing blend etc).  

I am so grateful that I don't have to keep going to the doctor to treat my seasonal issues all the time!!
