Doterra Essential Oils For Allergies

By Mattie MacDonald


Severe or seasonal allergies have become one of the most common health problems in modern times. An estimated one out of every four or five people worldwide suffer in a more or lesser degree from one or other allergy. It is hard to believe that despite giant progress in medical and scientific fields, the prevalence of allergic conditions has nevertheless increased significantly over the last two decades - and continues to rise! Allergy medicine is expensive and in America alone, the estimated annual health costs for asthma are more than $20 billion.

Dealing with the crippling symptoms of an allergic reaction is already bad. Add to that the loss of valuable time and money due to absenteeism from work and pursuing costly medical help, and it can cause havoc to any household's budget and bliss. Luckily nature provides us with cheaper and more enjoyable options to combat the dreadful symptoms of allergies. Natural products such as doTERRA essential oils for allergies give fragrant relief for allergy symptoms.

The scented flowers and plants that give us so much pleasure in nature, also have potent healing qualities. Essential oils that are harvested and produced from the stems, flowers and roots of fragrant plants such as mint, lavender and lemon, are renowned for their ability to act as a natural anti-histamine and to curb inflammation due to allergic reactions.

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.

The most common allergens are pollen, dust mites, molds, animal proteins, foods and even medication. Nasal allergies affect roughly 20 percent of Americans, while between 8 - 10 percent of the population suffers from asthma. In extreme cases, such as severe reactions to a bee sting or foods like nuts and shellfish, an allergy can be fatal if emergency medical help is not given in time.

Luckily the majority of people who suffer from moderate allergic reactions can cope reasonably well with the aggravating symptoms thanks to prescription drugs, creams, ointments and anti-histamines. However, most medications are expensive and have some harmful side-effects, especially in the long run. It is thus important to find natural ways to strengthen the immune system and to treat the worst symptoms.

Pure essential oils that are scientifically manufactured from the magic potions found in nature's own plant pharmacy are a wonderful alternative to conventional allergy medicine. They do not contain pesticides, herbicides or any harmful artificial chemicals and best of all - they are fragrantly potent!

Plant extracts and oils have formed the foundation of healing practices and medicine since the origin of mankind. Despite the breakthroughs in pharmaceutical drugs that dramatically changed the nature of healing in the past few decades, there is a growing demand for a return to more holistic approaches that pose less risk. Quality plant oils give fragrant relief for allergy symptoms and are safe for internal and external use. Their soothing, healing qualities, combined with their pleasant aroma, make them a popular, effective and safe remedy for many ailments - in a natural way!
