for short-term use) to a 10ml bottle before filling the remainder with a carrier oil. Apply to temples, either side of the nose, chest or throat.
Personal Inhaler for Seasonal Allergies A personal inhaler is a preferred method for many who suffer
from seasonal allergies. You can use the inhaler as often as needed to help alleviate symptoms. Personal inhaler blends last for 3-4 months once you’ve made them, so they’re a super-efficient way to use oils for a long time. After that, they only need to be refreshed with a few additional drops. Perfect for pollen season, or dealing with stubborn common cold symptoms!
Personal inhaler seasonal allergy blend: Add 5 drops each Blue Tansy, Lavender & Rosalina to a small glass bowl. Drop the cotton wick into the blend, using tweezers to move it around so it can absorb all the oils. Insert the wick into the inhaler, adding the cap and cover. To use: remove the cap and, holding the inhaler beneath your nose, take a few slow, deep breaths.
Another great option for portable seasonal allergy relief is a
diffuser bracelet or necklace. Simply add the essential oils to the lava beads or cotton insert (depending on the style of your jew- elry), allowing it to dry before wearing it.
Diffuser bracelet blend: Add 1 drop each Rosalina, Lemon & Lavender to a diffuser bracelet or necklace (great for kids too).
Steam Inhalation for Seasonal Allergies If you’re feeling very congested, steam inhalation is a great
method to soothe and heal. It's also a great method to begin using at the onset of seasonal allergy season. It can clear your sinus passages of potential allergens even before symptoms begin to show up. Place a drop of essential oil (Fir Needle is a great, safe choice)
in a sink or mug filled with hot water. Place your head over the sink, covering your head and the sink with a towel to trap the steam. Keep your eyes closed and inhale deeply for two to five minutes.
OTHER REMEDIES TO ADDTO YOUR SEASONAL ALLERGY REGIMEN
Besides essential oils there are some other methods you can use to alleviate allergy symptoms:
• Take a tablespoon of locally sourced honey daily during al- lergy season. • Try a neti-pot to cleanse your nasal cavities. • Change your pillowcase frequently. • Shower in the evening to remove allergens and pollen when you’ve been out. • Use a salt lamp. • Take stinging nettle.

hormone our bodies make, and not synthetic ones made by the pharmaceutical industry, which can be harmful as well as helpful. With replacement, patients report an increase in their psy- chological well being. PMS symptoms can be resolved, not uncommonly, in weeks. The medical benefits are a decrease in cardiac disease, vascular disease, strokes, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even cancers. Because our goal is to return hormone levels to an optimal range, we test the following for any deficiencies: Thyroid hormone, which regulates temperature, metabo-
N
lism, cerebral function, and energy levels. It can protect against cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, fatigue and weight gain. DHEA, which stimulates the immune system, can restore
sexual vitality, improves moods, and decreases cholesterol and body fat. It improves memory, increases energy, and has anti- cancer properties by enhancing the immune system. Melatonin, which influences the quality and quantity of sleep, is also an energizer, a mood enhancer, and an antioxidant. It has also been shown to decrease the incidence of nocturia (getting up at night to urinate). Estrogen, has been proven to reduce the effects of heart
disease, stroke, high cholesterol, Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, skin thinning, the incidence of depression, and reverse the lack of libido. Progesterone, which acts as an antidepressant, mild tranquil-
izer, and natural painkiller. Bioidentical progesterone can elimi- nate symptoms of menopause, PMS emotional instability, headaches, and mood swings. Testosterone, which drops significantly in men over age 50.
This lowered level accounts for a loss of a man's sense of well- being, decrease in decrease in sex drive, loss of general muscle mass, increased abdominal obesity, osteoporosis, decrease in mental acuity, and decreased strength and endurance. And, yes, testosterone levels should be tested in women, as well. Testos- terone therapy can reverse the gradual sexual apathy that occurs over time, while also increasing energy, and strength.
