My husband and son deal with spring allergies every year. Before we discovered these natural home remedies for seasonal allergies, my husband would sneeze frequently and end up with watery, itchy eyes. Sometimes his eyes would get so red, it was almost scary looking!

My 9-year-old son would end up congested and sneeze a lot. Both of them were miserable if they didn’t use over-the-counter allergy medications. But we prefer to try natural remedies if possible and thankfully we’ve found that essential oils for allergies work really well for us.

There are several ways you can use essential oils, from diffusing to simply smelling an open bottle of essential oils, but one of our favorite ways is to make an essential oil roller bottle.

Roller bottles are little glass bottles with a roller ball on the end. You combine drops of essential oil with a carrier oil. One of the most common carrier oils and the one I use and recommend is fractionated coconut oil. It’s different than regular coconut oil because it doesn’t harden in cold temperatures; it stays at a constant liquid form.

Once you’ve combined the ingredients, you have to squeeze the roller ball back into the top, cap it, then shake it well, and roll it on.

A note on the best essential oil brands: there are many high-quality brands available and you don’t have to join an MLM either. I’m not against MLMs; I’ve used them myself, but I’ve seen just as good quality of essential oils from other brands too at more affordable prices.

It is important that you use high-quality essential oil as some cheap essential oils (think a large bottle of lavender oil for $8) contain additives and less-than-helpful plant species. This may leave your allergy blend ineffective or worse, with side effects. Check out this post on how to choose the best essential oil brand for your family.

A note on dilution (how much essential oil is used compared to carrier oil) – Remember, essential oils are very potent. Always use smaller amounts to start with, especially if you choose to use any of these blends with children. You may choose to increase the number of drops of essential oils slowly if you are not seeing the desired results.

If needed, you may choose to increase the number of essential oil drops up to 15 drops total. Remember to use less for children.
