My husband and daughter have really bad outdoor allergies. My husband got an allergy test once and the allergist said he was allergic to every plant and shrub west of the Mississippi, that's only because he doesn't live on the East side!
Allegra makes him feel loopy, Benadryl makes him sleepy and Clariton makes him ornery. So, when allergy season hit, he was willing to try a "natural antihistamine"
In a capsule I combined 3 drops of lavendar, 3 drops of peppermint, and 3 drops of lemon. His itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, and congestion totally calmed down. He couldn't believe it and said, "Well, if it happens again, then I'll believe it." It did happen again and again - yea! The only problem is that he said he burped up lavender!
Emily can't swallow a capsule, so I made a roller bottle with 10 drops of each oil and filled the rest up with coconut oil. Now I just rub in on her feet in the morning and night and it's working great for her!
