Suffering from allergies is just that…suffering. They can be brutal! Allergies present themselves in many ways and with varying symptoms. Some people will have difficulty breathing while others might have a stuffy, runny nose or itchy, inflamed skin. Essential oils won’t cure allergies but they can provide symptom relief and help you to feel better. Spring is a popular time of year for seasonal allergies to flare and here are the best essential oil blends for allergy support for you.
These diffuser blends are my go-to’s for allergy support during the spring season.

The thing with allergies is you take them wherever you go, and because of that you need support when you’re on the move. That’s why roller bottles are so popular now. They are convenient and really help you get the most of your oils.
Here are my 5 favourite roller bottle blends for allergy support this spring, and any time of the year. Just add the essential oils and top up with your favourite carrier oil.

Note: Dilution is a MUST before applying directly to the skin. Using a 10mL roller bottle first put in essential oils then fill-up remaining with carrier oil. Cut recipe in half if using a smaller bottle. Check before using on children as some oils can’t be used on children under 10 years of age.
Though these are great essential oil blends for allergy support, for some people allergies are so severe, there is a high risk of death. Essential oils CANNOT replace medications and the precautions you need to take for severe allergies. Be safe, be smart.
