Allergy season is amongst us, and I know I have personally been suffering. Some areas of the country only get hay fever season, however, in the northeast, mid-Atlantic, Midwest and some parts of the southwestern region, ragweed season is in full effect.
What is ragweed season?? Ragweed is naturally a weed (hence the name) that lives for one season; however, the biggest problem is that one plant can produce up to 1 billion pollen grains according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Yes, you read that right…1 billion per plant!!! YIKES!! Ragweed season starts mid-August, spikes in September and lasts until the first frost. For some parts of the country, that is a long time.
Many take medications such as allergy pills, use inhalers and some even have to get shots. What can you do that can naturally help you as well? Check out some essential oils below by doTERRA and products such as TriEase to assist.
TriEase contains peppermint, lemon and lavender essential oils which together, assist your respiratory system, overall immune system and seasonal threats like allergies! This soft gel is what I consider a triple threat to allergies and has helped many people get through the seasons gently by alleviating symptoms. You can also buy the essential oils mentioned individually to diffuse and use for overall wellness.
During the beginning stages and treatment of Lyme Disease, I learned a great deal about essential oils. One of my doctor’s told me to try (Breathe) essential oil by doTERRA because I had/have respiratory issues. I’ve been carrying around the roll on (Breathe Touch) with me since 2013! I also use the cough drops and diffuse the oil in my home. What I didn’t know is that Breathe assists during allergy season as well. It has been a huge help during ragweed season. There are cough drops, Breathe Touch (which is a mini roll on), the bottle you see where you can diffuse it and a vaporizing stick as well. You can order all of them on my doTERRA website.
Another go-to for allergy season (and is a powerful anti-viral) is Melaleuca…also known as Tea Tree oil. It is a natural anti-viral, serves as an anti-inflammatory agent and is purifying. Diffuse in the home, for those whose allergies show up on your skin through hives or eczema try it to ease itching. I also use this as a part of the flu-bomb (a mixture of oils that I put in a capsule and ingest) which helped me with COVID this past winter. Stay tuned for a post about that.
