What to look for in essential oils for allergy relief & respiratory support

When we use essential oils to support allergy relief and respiratory health, what exactly are we looking for?

We want essential oils that calm congestion, ease inflammation, reduce infection, and boost the body's immunity so that we're better equipped to deal with allergens and germs. It helps if they can reduce pain, too. (I used to suffer from allergies and I remember some painful headaches!)

There are a lot of essential oils that offer this kind of support. The ones I've found the most helpful contain high percentages of the components 1,8-cineole and terpinen-4-ol.

When I say "1,8-cineole, "Eucalyptus is the first essential oil that springs to mind. And when I say "terpinen-4-ol," Tea Tree steps forward as though to say, "That's me!"

Here are a few essential oils we can blend with Eucalyptus and Tea Tree to reduce allergies:

Now that we know some good oil suggestions, let's make an allergy-reducing steam blend! I'm going to make this in a 5 ml stock bottle. I only want one drop of oil in my steam, so pre-blending the oils means I get a little bit of each oil in a single drop.

Here are two of my favorite stock blend recipes for allergies

Calm Allergies Stock Blend

Offer your respiratory system support when you're suffering from allergy symptoms!

Essential Oils

  • 15 drops Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata)

  • 15 drops Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)

  • 15 drops Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana)

  • 15 drops Plai (Zingiber cassumunar)

Equipment
  • 5 ml glass amber bottle with orifice reducer

Directions
  • Combine the essential oils in the bottle, drop by drop.

  • Tighten the cap to snap the orifice reducer into place.

  • Add a single drop of the stock blend into a bowl of steamy water./li>

  • Close your eyes, lean over the bowl, and breathe in the warm, nourishing steam./li>

  • Breathe in the steam for a few minutes, repeating the process several times a day./li>

Open Those Airways Stock Blend

Clear congestion so that you can breathe with ease! The oils in this stock blend offer so much respiratory support.

Essential Oils
  • 15 drops Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata)

  • 15 drops Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)

  • 10 drops Saro (Cinnamomum fragrans)

  • 10 drops Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora ct. 1,8 cineole)

  • 20 drops Sweet Marjoram (Origanum marjorana)

Equipment
  • 5 ml glass amber bottle with orifice reducer

Directions
  • Combine the essential oils in the bottle, drop by drop.

  • Tighten the cap to snap the orifice reducer into place.

  • Add a single drop of the stock blend into a bowl of steamy water./li>

  • Close your eyes, lean over the bowl, and breathe in the warm, nourishing steam./li>

  • Breathe in the steam for a few minutes, repeating the process several times a day./li>

All you have to do is drop your essential oils into your 5 ml stock bottle. When you screw on the lid, the orifice reducer snaps into place.

Note: if you don't have Eucalyptus, you could replace it with Saro or Ravintsara.
If you don't have Tea Tree, just add more Sweet Marjoram.

Using these stock blends in a sinus steam

When it's time to steam, use just one drop of your blend in a bowl of steaming water. Be sure to close your eyes and lean over the bowl to inhale the steam for about one minute. You can enhance the effects by draping a towel over your head to keep the steam concentrated. Make sure it's not too hot so you don't burn yourself.
