Seasonal Discomfort
Spring is a sign of new life. I love to see buds on the trees and flowers in bloom. Unfortunately, for many people, signs of spring means discomfort with itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, hives and so much more.
I’m pretty familiar with how hard the change in seasons can be on the body. I am one of the many millions of people who used to need prescription medication just to get through the spring and fall seasons. My son’s allergies used to be so bad that he’d have to take immune suppressing medications because his eyes would literally swell shut. That’s my little guy below…my heart used to break for him because he was so uncomfortable. At that time, I wasn’t aware of natural remedies or how his diet could impact his symptoms.
Unfortunately, most people who suffer with allergies have been led to believe that the only way to manage symptoms is with medication. Many don’t take the time to understand that a band aid approach will not address the root cause. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather get to the root cause and fix the problem for good rather than suffer every year. For my family, by addressing the root cause, we’ve been enjoying all four seasons medication free for the past 8 years!!
Having seasonal allergy symptoms is a sign of a body that is out of balance. Typically, with most clients I work with, the root cause is chronic inflammation or leaky/unbalanced gut. I work with individuals to reduce the inflammation in their bodies and rebalance their gut microbiome. If you’re interested in learning more about taking your allergies seriously and supporting your gut biome, which will help minimize your allergies, check out this post.

If you’re just looking for some natural seasonal relief options, here are my top recommendations that will help you conquer the upcoming seasonal changes like a champ.
dōTERRA ESSENTIAL OIL RECOMMENDATIONS:
I only use dōTERRA essential oils because of their purity, potency and stringent testing practices. Purity and potency are key factors in success when using oils to support your health. dōTERRA’S oils are pharmaceutical grade…oils in the grocery store don’t even compare. Here are the reasons why I choose dōTERRA.
APPLY TOPICALLY:
Apply 1 drop of each of the pictured oils directly onto the chest and bottoms of the feet 2x/day. (Lemon, Lavender, Breathe, Frankincense)
Use 1 drop of Breathe oil and swipe it on the bridge of your nose and under your nostrils. Inhale deeply. You can do this as often as needed to open nasal airways.
TAKE INTERNALLY:
For mild discomfort, take 1 TriEase Softgel in the morning or night, depending on which time of day your allergies are worse.
For severe discomfort, take 1-2 TriEase Softgels in the morning and night until you begin to feel relief. Then go down to 1 softgel 1x/day.
Take 1 Turmerical Dual Capsule 2x/day to help with the inflammatory response.
DIFFUSE (AROMATICALLY):
Place 5 drops of each oil above into a diffuser and diffuse in your living/work space through the day!
AirX is AH-MAZING for diffusing. It helps to rid the pathogens and allergens in the air. It’s one of my favorites! Plus you can take it internally and use it topically too!
Purchase my SEASONAL RELIEF KIT, that contains all the essential oil necessities you need to make it through the seasons smoothly. Plus you get a FREE one-on-one consultation with me (a $225 value) and continued support to show you how to use your products. Sweet!
