In the Air
During the spring and summer, I need a little extra help when trees and grasses are pollenating. I mix up even drops of Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint, also known as the Allergy Trio, and take it in a capsule twice a day. If you do not like taking capsules, put it in the diffuser (three drops each).
After Brad, my boyfriend, cuts the grass, we always seem to end up outside grilling. My throat gets itchy and unbearable. I rub Peppermint where my glands are on my neck and the base of my neck. I also tap the thymus, found in the upper part of your chest, with my pointer and index fingers. I learned this from the Ref Guide for Essential Oils app by Abundant Health. If you don’t have it, I suggest you get it!

Breath Easy
Cleaning a dusty house always gets me coughing. I love the smell of RC because I love Eucalyptus! But when I am coughing, I grab the RC and take a long breath from the bottle.
Also, after long runs, from the heavy breathing, I like to take a long, hot baths with RC in the water. It helps me calm down from an exhausting run as I return my breathing back to normal.
SALT BATH SOAK
