Doterra Essential Oils For Allergies

By Mattie MacDonald


An allergy is at best a pesky and frustrating disability to endure. In worst scenario cases it can even be fatal if medical intervention is not timeously applied. Yet, despite giant leaps in medical and technological progress, this immune-related health problem is still rampant across the globe and getting worse as we speak. An estimated 10-30 percent of people in the modern world suffer from one or other allergic reaction. The physical, emotional and economical impact of this common ailment is immense.

Prescribed medicine normally keeps the symptoms at bay, but many of them have severe side-effects - especially when taken over a long period. Luckily there are cheaper and safer solutions for those who often have to put up with sneezing and coughing spells during the change of seasons. DoTERRA essential oils for allergies sooth the symptoms of most seasonal allergies - in a completely natural way!

The sweet-smelling flowers and shrubs that adorn our gardens and planet have much more to them than mere ornamental value. The natural aromatic compounds found in the bark, flowers and other parts of these plants are also magic potions from which potent essential oils are made. Apart from the lovely fragrance of lemons, lavender and peppermint, their undisputed therapeutic and healing powers have been praised since the earliest times. Essential oils made from these plants act as a powerful, natural anti-histamine to relieve the symptoms of allergies. A combination of these oils also reduces the severity of allergy-induced inflammation.

An allergic reaction occurs when the body's immune system "misinterprets" certain harmless substances (allergens)as foreign invaders and "overreacts" to protect the body against these perceived "enemies". The allergens are usually harmless to non-allergic people, but can evoke severe responses in the immune system of allergic people. A bee sting that usually causes only mild swelling in non-allergic people, can have fatal consequences for somebody who is highly allergic to the venom. While environmental factors contribute largely to the development of allergies, it is especially people with a family history of allergies who are most at risk.

Allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) and asthma are two of the most prevalent allergies affecting Americans. Apart from pollen, the biggest culprits for causing allergic reactions include dust mite, dairy products such as milk and cheese, animal proteins, foods, mold and even medication.

In most cases, however, allergies are more or less a seasonal and harmless nuisance that makes one feel weak, itchy or irritated. Anti-histamines in the form of creams, lotions and prescribed medication normally bring instant relief, but the frequent usage of these over long periods can have negative side-effects. Natural products that boost the immune system and relieve the symptoms without any negative, harmful side-effects, are still the best solution.

Pure essential plant oils of a high standard can safely and successfully be used to treat the symptoms of most airborne allergies. These oils are skillfully distilled from plants that have been harvested at the perfect moment for ideal extract composition and efficacy. Because they contain no chemicals or artificial substances such as pesticides, they are harmless and without side-effects.

The medicinal and therapeutic value of 100 percent pure plant oils has been appraised, applauded and applied by various cultures since the beginning of time. Today, there is a strong demand for a more holistic, natural approach to health and healing and who knows better than Mother Nature? Good quality essential oils from a reputable source can safely be taken internally, or rubbed on the feet, back or spine for soothing relief of various allergy symptoms.
