Allergic Rhinitis

Condition:

Allergic Rhinitis

Definition:

Allergic rhinitis is inflammation of the inside of the nose caused by an allergen, such as pollen, dust, mould, or flakes of skin from certain animals.

Symptom:

Allergic rhinitis can lead to complications in some cases. These include:

nasal polyps – abnormal but non-cancerous (benign) sacs of fluid that grow inside the nasal passages and sinuses
sinusitis – an infection caused by nasal inflammation and swelling that prevents mucus draining from the sinuses
middle ear infections – infection of part of the ear located directly behind the eardrum

Description:

Protocol:

Steam (see below) with 5 drops of the Sinus Blend, every day, and also inhale (see below) deeply through the nose.

For a bacterial sinus infection add to the steam protocol above, 3 drops of the Covid Steam, this will open the nasal pathways.

In addition to steam, also diffuse (see below) 5 drops of the Sinus Blend throughout the night, while you sleep for 8 hours.

In addition, also diffuse 5-10 drops of the Allergy Blend.

You can do a nasal saline rinse and add to your saline water, 2 drops each, of the following pure oils: Frankincense and Myrrh, mix well, and rinse the sinuses.

You can also apply a blend of the following pure oils: Peppermint, Lemon, and Lavender over the sinuses, topically. Mix with an organic carrier oil.

Steam Method

Add 3-4 drops (or as otherwise indicated) of essential oil/diffuser blend to boiling water in a large pot or heatproof bowl. Immediately after adding the essential oil, cover the bowl with a large bath towel to avoid molecules from escaping into the air. Place your face above the bowl underneath the towel, not too close to avoid the steam from burning your skin, inhale the hot steam through your nose for no more than two minutes at a time and for a total of approximately 10 minutes.

Inhale Method

Drip 2-3 drops of the blend or essential oil in the palm of the hands, and rub once to open the molecules, rubbing will evaporate the oil, cup your hands around your mouth and nose, and deeply inhale.

Diffuse 2-3 drops of each oil; maximum 10-12 drops in total, at a time, unless otherwise advised.

NOTE: Always use an ultrasonic diffuser (with a diffusing duration of at least 8 hours), to diffuse pure essential oils. Do not use a humidifier, air purifier, or a candle, as they only smell good and have no further effect. An electric, ultrasonic, diffuser dispenses essential oils into the air through vibrations of a plate which causes ultrasonic waves, creating microscopic particles of oils that disperse into the air. It, therefore, breaks open the essential oil volatile molecules, to have a medicinal effect in that it can penetrate through the blood-brain barrier. It is always good to use a diffuser at night while you are sleeping.
