In the past, I was under the tyranny of allergies until I was introduced to a game-changer—Eucalyptus essential oil.

This encounter wasn't just beneficial; it was transformative!

Eucalyptus became my ally in combating allergies. It gave me the tools to create body oils, diffuser blends, eco-friendly cleaners, and, most notably, an efficient eucalyptus inhaler recipe for allergies, which I am thrilled to share with you today.

Unveiling the Science: Eucalyptus Oil for Allergy Relief

It's all about science!

Eucalyptus oil houses a powerhouse component named 1,8-cineole, renowned for its ability to ease tightness and spasms, even those in the throat that trigger coughing. Further, using an Aromatherapy inhaler ensures the essential oils reach the desired destination—your respiratory system!

Creating Your Eucalyptus Inhaler for Allergies

Having an Aromatherapy inhaler in your arsenal during allergy season is a game-changer. The convenience of its size—comparable to a lip balm tube—allows for easy storage in your pocket or bag. Creating your inhaler is straightforward: drop the essential oils onto the cotton insert, slip the insert into the inhaler sleeve, and seal it. That's it!

This recipe, featuring Eucalyptus, Cedarwood, and Orange essential oils, can provide short-term relief and potentially long-term resolution of your allergy symptoms. The blend serves as a decongestant and overall symptom soother.

This formulation should last approximately two months before needing to be refreshed.

Recipe: Eucalyptus & Friends Inhaler for Allergies

Alleviate congestion and overall allergy symptoms!

Essential Oils
5 drops Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus globulus)
7 drops Cedarwood Oil (Juniperus virginiana)
3 drops Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis)

Supplies

Blank inhaler with a cotton or polyester wick

Directions

  • Slide the wick into the inhaler.

  • Drop the essential oils right onto the wick.

  • Snap the plastic bottom into place.

Creating a Kid-Safe Recipe

Making this blend for a child? That's a great idea!

The blend can also be formulated for children! Inhalers offer kids an easy, user-friendly option to help manage their symptoms. However, for the younger crowd, it's wise to omit the Eucalyptus oil due to its potency and reduce the overall quantity of essential oils.
The child-friendly recipe would look as follows:

Essential Oils

  • 7 drops Cedarwood Oil (Juniperus virginiana)

  • 2 drops Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis)

This blend is suitable for children over five years old. For those under five, a diffuser is a safer alternative.

Using essential oils helped calm my allergies completely

Since I started using essential oils for allergies, I no longer experience allergies at all!

Can you believe it?

My allergies, which I had assumed were just an unavoidable, chronic life condition, are gone. I would say it's like magic, except I know it's science.

Eucalyptus gave me a whole new understanding of allergies.

It taught me that even though allergens are all around me, I can use essential oils all around me, too. It taught me that certain things in my environment actually stressed my immunity, like store-bought cleaners and body products. Eucalyptus was very patient in teaching me to replace all these things with all-natural essential oil versions.

Instead of stressing my immunity, my cleaners and body products support my health, boost my immune system, and calm my allergy symptoms.

I wasn't exaggerating when I wrote that I no longer experience allergies. It's amazing, and I would not go back. Reducing or eliminating your allergies can change your entire experience of life.

I want you to experience this kind of life shift, too. That's why I'd love to invite you to my FREE webinar!
