A synergistic essential oil blend is often more effective for helping to promote symptomatic relief and healing than any single essential oil. The best pure essential oils to use in a synergy blend for allergy relief include: Blue Tansy, Spikenard, Rosemary and Lemongrass.

METHODS OF APPLICATION TO RELIEVE ALLERGY SYMPTOMS:

METHOD 1: Dispense 15 drops of your allergy relief synergy blend into a 1 ounce bottle of carrier oil, shake your allergy relief dilution well and allow to synergize for 24 hours, or longer as time permits.

Dispense 1-3 drops of your allergy relief dilution, inhale and apply to tender points of your sinus, chest, upper back and abdominal areas. The oils will enter through the neurovascular gateways located in these areas to effectively trigger your relaxation response for allergy relief.

A Note About Carrier Oils: I highly recommend pure light coconut oil as the ideal carrier oil. Coconut oil is fully metabolized by the body and, unlike most oils, not absorbed into the fatty cells and tissues of the body, making it an ideal carrier for essential oils to move through the fat cells beneath the dermis and into the blood vessels serving muscles, etc. As well Light Coconut oil remains liquid at room temperature and, because of its light consistency, will not clog skin pores, making it suitable to use on sensitive or problem skin.

METHOD 2: Steam Inhalation ~ Add 4-8 drops of your allergy relief synergy blend to a large bowl of steaming hot water, put a towel over your head to capture the steam. Close your eyes and inhale until water cools or until you stop smelling the oil. Repeat, if necessary, every 4-5 hours. Relieves inflammation and sinus congestion and helps you to breath easier.

METHOD 3: Humidifier (cool mist) ~ Add from 6-8 drops of your synergy blend to the water of your humidifier. Add the essential oils 2-3 times during the day, if running continuously. WARNING Essential Oils can damage humidifier plastic and rubber parts.

PLEASE NOTE: There are many cheap, synthetic copies of aromatic oils, but these are not recommended for therapeutic use. For best results purchase the highest quality oils you can possibly find. Use certified organic essential oils, or oils that have been tested and are pesticide free.

Holistic MindBody Therapy, including pure essential oils, are gentle, noninvasive complementary forms of health care for balancing and synchronizing your body, mind and spirit and a natural, safe and effective way to enhance your health and well-being. Holistic health care may produce satisfying results where other methods have failed. Please consult with your physician regarding serious health concerns and do not attempt to self diagnose.
