Sniffling, snotty & suffering?

Finally.....SPRING!  What an absolutely perfect day The Lord allowed us to have as we celebrate the first day of Spring!  What a blessing to have no grey skies, no frigid temperatures and no rain!  My head is all over the place but I need to first share a bit of scripture that a sweet friend of mine shared this morning.  




Song of Songs 2:10-13 
My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away, for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree ripens its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.


The signs of Spring are everywhere; trees are budding, flowers are blooming and the bees are about their busy work.  This prompts me to think about all things being made new.  Such a sweet picture of grace and a reminder of the very grace that has been bestowed upon us as we're in sweet fellowship with The Father.  



Now...with blooming of the trees and the flowers come allergies!  Guess what...I can help with that!


(that notation of a link above....yep....not working right there, there is one below though)

With pollen on the attack, be prepared with the allergy trio from Young Living Essential Oils.  Lemon is for draining and loosening the gunk.  Most likely, this is a word we're all familiar with and it is completely relevant in this case.  Lavender for drying up the gunk and peppermint to open you up.  Better yet, no co-pay and no side effects.  It's an absolute win win.  

How about a little more info...

Lavender Essential Oil is a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory and has helped many with allergies. It is also very calming and relaxing.
How to use Lavender for allergies:
Inhalation: This is the quickest way to get them in your system. Apply 1-2 drops of Lavender to the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and cup them over your nose.  Inhale deeply 4-6 deep breaths
Topically: Add 1 drop of Lavender to the top of your head, temples, forehead, sinuses and back of neck as needed.  Apply lavender to the bottom of the feet before bed.
Diffuse: Diffuse Lavender Essential Oil in a diffuser for 15 minutes every 2 hours.  You can also put lavender in a spray bottle ~ 5 drops with distilled water and spritz your pillow and the house.

 Therapeutic-grade lavender oil must be distinguished from fragrance or food-grade essential oils found in retail stores.  This is because only a quality therapeutic-grade lavender can bring you safe and effective allergy relief.
Peppermint Essential Oil has pain relief and anti-inflammatory properties and has been used for many, many years to relieve nasal congestion.  For some individuals, the use of peppermint has eliminated the need for allergy shots.

Here’s how to use Peppermint Essential Oil to get some allergy relief:
Topically: Apply 1 drop of Peppermint Essential Oil to the temples, forehead, top of head, back of neck. I do this after the Lavender oil and you can also dilute peppermint in Olive Oil, coconut oil or another carrier oil. Peppermint oil can irritate sensitive skin and the face, so take care when using it.
Diffuse: Diffuse Peppermint Essential Oil throughout the day.
Inhalation: Inhale straight from bottle. Apply 1-2 drops of Peppermint to the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and cup them over your nose. Inhale deeply several breaths.
Internally: Put one drop in water ~ Glass Only*.  Enjoy a refreshing, energizing drink while boosting the immune system.
Optional ways to use for allergies:
Ingestion:  You can put 3 drops of Lavender and Peppermint in a capsule with olive oil and take orally. Do  your own research and consult your doctor.

Lemon  alkalize the body, and relieve excess mucous protects immunity, relieves respiratory issues.  Excellent antibacterial agent, which makes it well suited for respiratory inflammation. 




So...there we go!  Enjoy Spring but don't give in to the seasonal allergies and by all means, don't suffer from the side effects of over the counter drugs.  
Happy Spring!
