Combat Cold and Fall Allergy Season

10/18/2020

Tis the season for family, good food, laughter.....and possibly a cold or fall allergies.  My family is dealing with it at this very moment.  While the symptoms have to essentially run their course as various medications are taken with a cold, there are natural alternatives for getting relief for both in the meantime.  My previous recipe was a bit more complex, so here are some simpler ways to get cold/allergy relief using essential oils when the season is upon you.

Ingredients...

5 Drops Eucalyptus
2 Drops Peppermint
​2 Drops Lavender
​2 Drops Bergamot
1/2 oz  Jojoba Oil

Uses...

For massage:  Blend all ingredients together and massage into chest.

For bath:  Add oils directly to a tub full of warm water.

Steam Inhalation:  Add oils to a hot bowl of water (hot enough to produce steam), place towel over head, and breathe deeply. 

Diffuser:  Add water to diffuser to instructed water level, add essential oils, turn on diffuser, and breathe deeply. 
I know this blend is pretty stout...even quite pungent for some, however, it's really effective for opening up nasal passages when inhaled. Lavender is soothing while Eucalyptus shows off it's anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties that soothe aches and pains associated with oncoming colds.  Bergamot is both antibacterial and antibiotic; all these combined into Jojoba oil allows for quick absorption.

Be sure to perform a patch test if using for massage to ensure no allergic reactions will occur.  Never use these oils on the skin in an undiluted form prior to testing.
