The EO Trio for Allergies

The popular essential oil trio for allergies is lemon, lavender and peppermint.  This trio delivers comprehensive support during allergy season.   Let’s take a closer look at each one:

Lemon

  • Lemon oil is a among the best in clearing toxins.  Clearing toxins reduces the load on the detoxification pathways to allow the body to better filter and deal with allergens.
  • Lemon oil supports the immune system by stimulating white blood cell production which protect against infectious disease and foreign invaders.
  • Lemon oil reduces excess mucous
  • Lemon oil has anti-inflammatory properties.

Peppermint

  • Peppermint oil is highly effective in clearing the air passageways
  • it can discharge phlegm
  • Peppermint oil reduces inflammation.
  • Many people report that peppermint essential oil can clear sinuses immediately.
  • Peppermint essential oil is antispasmodic making it effective in reducing spasms in the airways resulting in a cough

Lavender

  • Lavender is a natural antihistamine
  • Lavender has strong anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling in relation to allergies
  • Lavender promotes a good night’s sleep which is supportive during allergy season

How to Use the Trio

Topically

  • Mix the trio with a carrier oil in the palm of your hand or in a glass roller bottle (good for multiple applications).  Apply proactively in the morning to chest, front and back of neck, and behind the ears. Apply as needed throughout the day.
  • CAUTION:  Avoid contact with eyes and never put essential oils in the ears

Aromatically

  • Put 2-3 drops in a diffuser and enjoy.
  • Put a drop of each in the palm of your hands, rub together and inhale from hands.
  • Diffuse in a cool mist diffuser
  • Add a couple of drops of each to a spray bottle with water (preferably distilled water), and use to clean surfaces.

Internally

  • Mix a couple of drops each in a teaspoon of aloe vera juice to emulsify the oils, add water and drink.
  • Put a couple of drops each in a shot glass and fill the rest with water.  Swish in the mouth and gargle 30 seconds to 1 minute.  Spit out
  • Put 2 – 4 drops each in a soft gel and take internally.  I advise that this be done with food.
  • NOTE:  The trio has been conveniently packaged in a soft gel  for convenient internal use.  Find out more about Tri ease here: https://media.doterra.com/us/en/pips/doterra-triease-softgels.pdf
