Soothing Seasonal Allergies

 

Allergies affect us all from coast to coast and across the world – close to 40 per cent of people will, at one time or another, suffer the annoying and sometimes debilitating results of seasonal allergy symptoms.

Allergic symptoms range from the mild to life-threatening.

Sneezing

Coughing

Eyes itching

Stuffed up nose

Allergies have been linked to one of the the causes of asthma, and which if severe enough could cause anaphylactic reactions.

Allergy causes, are many and varied. Among the more common are:

Mold & Mildew

Dust mites 

Pollen

Genetics may also play a part in your allergy ailment, and nothing can be done about that, or can it?

A low immune system is a major cause of allergies. Boosting the immune system, with such as Green Tree, might help, but balancing the immune system is far more preferable, as boosting the immune system can cause complications in other areas.

I started using the Lifelong Vitality Pack and have found amazing results from these supplements.  dōTERRA’s Lifelong Vitality supplements are formulated with potent levels of essential nutrients and powerful metabolic factors for optimal health, energy, and longevity.  Coupled with dōTERRA’s CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade^® essential oils and a lifelong commitment to dōTERRA’s wellness lifestyle, they naturally support a lifetime of looking, feeling, and living younger, longer.

What has been my experience with Lifelong Vitality Pack?

They are incredibly easy to take, I started off with 1 each 1X a day and increased to 1 each 2X a day.  No burps or aftertaste from any of the pills including the xEOmega.  Within 3 days I had increased energy and within 7-10 days I experienced more alertness and increased stamina and endurance in my daily life.  Alertness was a biggie for me!  And yes, I believe that these supplements have impacted my overall general health for the better.

What causes allergies?

Basically, the body is merely reacting to a perceived threat and fights the allegens in the same way as a bacteriological invasion. Allergies, concerning food, are not as common as most people think, but can be severe causing several hundreds of deaths annually. While millions of people are allergic to animals, especially cats, we should seek relief, rather than do without the company of our precious and loyal, four-footed friends. So if we don’t want to get “rid” of our animals…and we don’t and we can’t stay locked up in the house forever to avoid pollens in the air.  AND we can’t stay locked up in the house forever because their are mold and mildew spores and dust mites there….what’s a person to do??

I use TriEase!  I use to take 2-3 drops each of Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint in a gelcap a couple times a day.  It’s time consuming..and well…you know me, I am a semi-homemade gal.  So I was completely thrilled to see that doTERRA had this amazing blend already IN gelcaps for me. YAY!  These are a must-have if you have allergies of any kind.  Taken a couple of times a day they are a natural, safe and really effective way to fight off allergy attacks.  

TriEase™ Softgels were developed to protect against seasonal and environmental elements and to promote a healthy respiratory system when needed
most. Each softgel contains equal parts of Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint essential oils, known for their ability to maintain clear breathing and a
healthy inflammatory response when combined together. The well-known blend of Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint is frequently
diffused or mixed together for its respiratory health benefits. 

Key Ingredients:

• Lemon Peel: cleansing to the body’s systems and frequently used for respiratory discomfort.
• Lavender Flower: renowned for its calming and balancing effects, both internally and externally. 
• Peppermint Plant: promotes clear breathing and healthy respiratory function.

 

Other natural remedies:

 

Acupuncture has also been found to be a most effective treatment for allergies.  

Supplements and vitamins may also help, to greatly improve the immune system, together with a healthy lifestyle. Vitamins, A, C, E, selenium and carotenoids. Antioxidants, MSM, magnesium and zinc may also help.

Americans in particular, have become obsessed about cleanliness and buy any product which promises to be “99 per cent effective against all bad germs”. Children, particularly the very young, might benefit from a “little dirt” in their surroundings, to strengthen their immune systems, from an earlier age.

Eating foods “in season” can help. We use to be a people that would eat seasonal fruit and vegetables, but with refrigeration and shipping, from around the world, we have fallen into a mass consumption society, although there is a strong trend now to getting our food fresh from the farm…or at least the Farmer’s Market!

 

For me, I have found that by increasing my immune system, eating more whole/fresh foods, taking my TriEase supplements and diffusing essential oils on a daily basis have helped my seasonal allergies to decrease and living life has increased!
