Allergies, got you down?

​If you are like many people, you accept that allergies are just a part of life. Each season brings it's own type of allergens. Coughing, sneezing, runny nose, itchy watery eyes and tickle in your throat are common symptoms for many people. For some people, when allergies strike, it means a visit to the doctors for antihistamines and inhalers. When it gets real bad, you might even end up on a steroid.

That was my daughter for most of her childhood. From November to June, she would constantly cough and have a runny nose. It took us a while to figure out that her cough was not an upper respiratory viral infection but was caused by allergies. When we figured that out, we started giving her claritan or singulair for children. It helped a little bit, she stopped coughing so much, but then she complained that it made her throat hurt. If we gave her benadryl then her mouth was dry and she was tired. It seemed like we couldn't win for losing.

One fall we went to see the Statue of Liberty. We ended up having to leave shortly after we got there because she had an allergic reaction to something on the Island. To this day, we don't know what exactly triggered her to not be able to breathe. There wasn't any benadryl on the island to give her. Her inhaler helped a little bit, but not as much as I would have liked.

That has all changed for her. Seasonal allergies no longer bother her like they did in the past. She will on occasion have a stuffy nose, but the coughing, sneezing, runny nose and trouble breathing are almost non existent. It has been an amazing turn around for her.

So what changed? I started to learn about essential oils and how they can support your health. I followed the lead of others who had been using Young Living Essential Oils. They told me what worked for them. I copied them and low and behold it worked for us too. Why and how they work, still are a mystery to me. What I do know is that our lives have changed for the better since using Young Living Essential Oils.

Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. If you have allergies, please consult your medical provider. This is just our story with Young Living Essential Oils.
