Are you looking for essential oils for seasonal support? Does pollen and seeds have your sinuses in a tizzy? This post has you covered!
Seasons change, and sometimes it makes our bodies go a little crazy. All those allergens blowing through the air and landing on everything and up everything isn’t always the best combination for some of us! Does any of the following sound familiar to you?
- Itchy, sneezing nose
- Watery, itchy eyes
- Dripping sinuses
- Congested sinuses
- Throat irritation
If any of these describe you, did you know there are quite a few essential oils that can support your body during these times?! It’s true! BUT it is important to remember that if you want an essential oil to support your body, and not merely smell good, you must use quality essential oils that have been properly grown, harvested, and created. This is why I only use, and recommend, Young Living essential oils – they check all the boxes!! To learn more about what makes them the best, visit my blog post here.
Let’s look at some of my favorite essential oils for seasonal support. And then I will share some recipes with you, so that you can support your body naturally during seasonal changes
Essential Oils for Seasonal Support:
Peppermint: Has a cool, crisp, minty aroma. It offers sinus support, as its aroma is very opening.
Lavender: Has a calming floral aroma. It is very calming to the entire body and acts as a natural anti-histamine.
Lemon: Has a bright, fresh, citrus aroma. It is naturally detoxifying and helps dry things up.
Copaiba: Has an earthy, woody, calming aroma. It is a powerful natural anti-inflammatory.
Geranium: Has a fresh, green, floral aroma. It offers circulatory support.
Eucalyptus Radiata: Has a fresh, clean, energizing aroma. It offers respiratory and sinus support.
