Allergies are numerous of the most mutual every day health challenges. Believe it or not, it’s the number 1 reason people see a doctor!

Headaches, stuffy/runny nose, sore throat, watery eyes, cough and sneezing are all mutual allergy symptoms. Fortunately, there are a great deal of safe and effective ways to relieve them and using therapeutic grade necessary oils is one of the best ways.

The necessary oils of lavender, RC and eucalyptus are well known for their capacity to relieve allergic symptoms.

Lavender

Lavender (Lavendula agustofolia) is one of the best necessary oils for combating allergies, such as hay fever. Pure, therapeutic grade Lavender is a natural antihistamine. I’ve used it on very rare occasions when I’ve woken up with a stuffy nose and watery eyes. After applying it, I’ve felt relief within minutes!

Here’s how to use Lavender for allergy relief:

Topically – Apply 1 drop to your cheeks, forehead and sinuses, as needed.

Inhalation – Diffuse it in a cold air diffuser for 15 minutes each 2 hours.

Direct Inhalation – Apply 1-2 drops to the palm of your hand, rub your hands together and cup them over your nose. Inhale 4-6 deep breaths as needed.

Ingestion – (Yes, Young Living’s lavender is safe to ingest!) Take an empty “00″ size capsule, found at most health feed stores, and fill the larger half of the capsule with 5 drops of Lavender. Fill the rest of the huge half of the capsule with organic olive oil. Swallow with soy, rice or regular milk, 2 times a day.

RC

RC is a blend of necessary oils that relieves allergies PLUS colds, bronchitis, sore throats, sinusitis and coughs. RC includes eucalyptus, myrtle, pine, spruce, marjoram, lavender, cypress and peppermint necessary oils.

Here’s how to use RC for allergy relief:

Topically – Apply 1 drop to your cheeks, forehead, sinuses, or chest as needed. If you have sensible skin, you might want to dilute this blend with a drop of organic olive oil, just to be safe. I’ve applied this blend on a q-tip and swabbed inside my nose to relieve a stuffy nose from a cold. It also prevented my cold from turning into a sinus infection.

Inhalation – Diffuse it in a cold air diffuser as often as needed.

Direct Inhalation – Apply 1-2 drops to your palms and cup over your nose. Inhale 4-6 deep breaths allround the day to ease symptoms.

Eucalyptus

Many humans find that eucalyptus necessary oil likewise relieves their allergies. There are a few types of eucalyptus. The best and safest one for allergies is Eucalyptus radiata. It’s outstanding for respiratory, sinus and viral infections.

Here’s how to use eucalyptus for allergy relief:

Topically – Rub 1 drop of Eucalyptus radiata (mixed with 1 drop of organic olive oil) to your cheeks, forehead and sinuses.

Inhalation – Diffuse in a cold air diffuser, as needed.

Direct Inhalation – Apply 1 drop to your palms and cup over your nose. Take 4-6 deep breaths as often as needed.

Bonus tip – Neti Pot

Using a Neti Pot is another great way to keep your nasal passages cleaned from pollens, pollution, dust, dander, etc. A Neti Pot is a tea-pot shaped kettle that is filled with saline solution (salt and water) and is poured into one nostril and then drains out the other nostril. (I do not commend putting necessary oils in the Neti pot.)

This exercise of cleansing the sinuses has been employed by Ayruveda and Yoga practitioners for thousands of years in India. Today, humans in Europe and America exercise Neti on a every day basis.

Using a Neti Pot in conjunction with therapeutic grade necessary oils may help keep your allergies and hay fever sensations or changes from reoccurring. Neti pots are available over-the-counter at numerous drug stores, health feed stores, and online retailers. They cost amongst $10 and $20.

All of these methods for relieving allergies are altogether safe AND good for your body. Just be sure to select only therapeutic grade necessary oils as a lesser grade will not fabricate results.

These are delicious Glucerna Snack Bars which are now imposible to find in retail stores. Glucerna, unfortunately, discontinues making product lines when they introduce new products (like their cold cereals). Apparently, they can’t chew gum and walk at the same time!!!!!

Glad to find this online
By Redjamie
I love these beverage napkins. They are heavyweight and feel nice. We use these instead of the larger dinner napkins for everyday. I am so glad to find these online since my local Costco stopped carrying these napkins in this size. I contacted Vanity Fair to find what other stores carry the beverage size. However, Vanity Fair wrote back and told me that they have no idea who buys their product. While I think this is an unbelievable claim, it did open an opportunity to buy it from Amazon. The napkins come in quickly, and with minimal packaging. I am getting ready to place another order. The price is fair, and while I wish I could buy these locally, I am very happy that Amazon has this.

Absolutely Perfect
By A. Bailey
I searched around online and all the local stores for a baby book that I liked. The stores had very limited selection and online the prices seemed fairly expensive. I finally settled on this one thru Amazon.com (made by Carters). This baby book is perfect. The quality is really great and it has tons of pages to fill. It has 76 pages, each one color with some cute graphics such as elephants, monkeys and turtles. It covers some interesting topics from first teeth to cost of living. There isn’t a ton of space for pictures, but I’m sure if I cut down the 4×6 prints that I could squeeze in plenty.

Who doesn’t love a cool glass of freshening lemonade, specially on hot summer days? Diabetics are always looking for beverages that don’t have that bitter, artificial sugar taste. Here are a couple of lemonade recipes that are tasty for diabetics as well as any person observing their sugar intake. Both recipes are made using Splenda granular which does not leave that bitter taste found in a great deal of diet beverages.

The primary recipe is lemonade with a berry twist, Our recipe uses blackberries but you could alternate raspberries or your other bestloved berry. Very tasty and refreshing, perfective for a picnic, outdoor barbeque, or just relaxing around the pool.

BLACKBERRY TWIST LEMONADE

2 cups fresh blackberries or unsweetened frozen blackberries, thawed

1 cup fresh lemon juice

1 cup Granulated Splenda

4 cups cold water

Put berries, lemon juice, and Splenda into blender. Process mixture until smooth, scraping down sides. Press mixture through a sieve into a pitcher. Discard solids remaining in the sieve. Stir in water. Serve over ice.

Yield: 7 servings with 4 grams sugar each

Our second recipe is for an old-fashioned lemonade made with Splenda rather than sugar.

OLD-FASHIONED-STYLE SUGAR-FREE LEMONADE

2/3 cup water

1/2 cup Splenda granular

1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)

4 to 6 cups cold water to taste

In a huge glass measuring cup, combine 2/3 cup water and the Splenda. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. Using caution, remove from microwave and stir the mixture to see if Splenda is wholly dissolved. If not, return to microwave and heat an further and added 45-60 seconds. Fill a pretty, big pitcher with ice. Pour lemon juice over the ice. Add the Splenda mixture and stir well. Add 4 cups (1-qt) of cold water. Stir well to blend. Taste and add further and added water to suit your taste.

Fill a tall glass with ice and pour your choice of our lemonades over the ice for a very freshening summer drink. And you may relax knowing you aren’t adding undesirable calories or sugar that will raise your blood sugar levels.

Enjoy!
