Asthma and Allergies are a thing of the past!

Shortly after having success controlling my mood and my hormones with the oils, I looked at what was on my list of things I wanted to work on.  Allergies have always been an issue for me, before moving to SC, I lived in AZ.  In AZ I only had seasonal allergies in the fall and in the spring.  When I moved here, it opened up a whole new world of allergies for me.  Everything here is green and blooms, and you also have dust mites and mold and mildew.  WOW!  At the time I started using the oils, I was taking 1 Zyrtec and 1 benedryl a day everyday and doing a neti pot when I had sinus infections.  When I had to go to a place with cats, or there was a high pollen count, even all of this led to more Benedryl and more crankiness.  It was a circle of a whole lot of no fun and not a lot of relief at that.
Asthma was something that I previously only had minimal problems with in AZ, mostly exercise induced asthma.  After having a very severe allergic episode a few years after I moved here,  I developed full blown asthma.  I started taking Advair daily which is a steroid, and using my rescue inhaler when I needed it.  Whenever I had to take the emergency inhaler, I would get the shakes so badly and almost have an anxiety attack from the after effects of the steroid.
Now, let's talk about what oils I started over a year ago now.  I started using the Respiratory Blend (Breathe) and rubbing it on my chest twice daily for my asthma. Then using my hands cupped as a sort of tunnel to breathe in the oils like you would an inhaler in place of my emergency inhaler.  First off, you can feel the effects of the oil when you use it on your chest.  It opens up your airways and you can feel that it's easier to breathe.  Plus, knowing that this is something completely natural, with no steroids was a big bonus.  On top of that, I didn't have to deal with the side effects of the violent shaking and the inability to go to sleep.  I slowly started to wean myself off my Advair.  Cutting back over the course of 2 months until I felt confident I didn't need it anymore, and I haven't looked back.
  I started taking a shot-glass full of water with 3 drops each of lavender, lemon and peppermint twice daily for my allergies.  This is known as the "Allergy shot".  You get instant relief from this blend and by using it this way.  I was blown away with how quickly and efficiently it went to work.  I slowly weaned off of my Zyrtec and Benedryl in about 2 weeks as I was sick of the "grumpies" caused by the Benedryl.  I haven't had any issues with allergies since then and always have these oils on hand when needed.
I hope this makes at least one of you who reads this consider trying something that might be to some "a little out there".  It might make a huge difference in your life!
