Post by: KATHY SKINNER in DIY recipe, allergies, Seasonal relief
Seasonal issues pop up in many forms. From coughing, watery eyes, skin issues, congestion and more. Here a re few DIY recipes with essential oils that will help to give you relief with harmful chemicals that add toxins to your body.

Are you prone to the seasonal sniffles that come around at certain times during the year or when you are outdoors? 
If you constantly need a tissue for your red, sore nose, give it some attention! 
Apply this roller blend to the bottoms of your feet to get some relief from all the running (you know…running from the nose!) 
STOP RUNNING ROLLER BLEND RECIPE
• 7 drops Lavender Essential Oil
• 7 drops Lemon Essential Oil
• 5 drops TEATREE/Melaleuca Essential Oil
Put Essential Oils in a 10 ml roller ball and top with Fractionated Coconut Oil. 
 
You can also make your own Essential Oil inhaler. Remember, with the inhalers you are inhaling the oil. NEVER place Essential Oils inside your nose. 
RUNNY NOSE RELIEF INHALER BLEND RECIPE
• 4 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil
• 4 drops Lemon Essential Oil
• 2 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
When making your inhaler, add your Essential Oils to the cotton wick and then place the wick inside the nasal tube. Then, place the inhaler in one nostril while holding the other nostril closed. Breathe in slowly and deeply to gently soothe your nasal passageways. 
For children, cut the recipe in half and dilute the oils by placing some Fractionated Coconut Oil on the wick before adding Essential Oils.
NOTE - When making the Essential Oil Blend for this inhaler, you can recycle your empty Essential Oil bottles by making the blend in them. Then, just place a few drops from the bottle directly onto the wick. This is a great option for diluting for sensitive sinuses and children.

You can give yourself cough relief support from the comfort of your own home!
PANTRY-MADE COUGH SYRUP RECIPE

Make this eye relief stick recipe to keep handy in your purse, diaper bag, brief case, desk drawer, or in your home! 
NEVER put essential oils into your eyes!

Once the beeswax and coconut oil melt, remove from heat, add Essential Oils, mixing well, and pour into lip balm tubes. 
Place tubes upright into the refrigerator for a few hours to allow them to harden. 
Apply under your nose or eyes as needed for seasonal support. 
NOTE - Recipe is for two to three sticks, depending on size.
