Springtime Hayfever Aromatherapy Blend


I know every Spring (when the leaves bud on the trees outside) and every fall (when the leaves fall off the trees), my allergies tend to go haywire!...Sneezing, congestion, and constant nose blowing. I came across this great aromatherapy blend you can use in your personal inhaler, oil burner, bath, or blended with steaming water while your head is covered with a towel (best). I would prefer this to taking Benadryl, which I usually resort to after trying just about every herbal remedy.

Springtime Cold Relief
You'll need:

  • Eucalyptus − 4 drops
  • Geranium − 4 drops
  • Peppermint − 4 drops
  • Rosemary − 4 drops
Blend all ingredients in an amber bottle. This blend can then be used in an Personal inhaler. Or add to a bath − only about 4 drops. or add 8 drops to 1 ounce of carrier oil and rub on chest, neck or any other area you desire.
