Using essential oils such as doTERRA Breathe, Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint can be helpful for managing allergies and supporting respiratory health. Here's a closer look at each of these essential oils and their benefits:

To create an allergy-relief blend with these essential oils, you can combine a few drops of each in a diffuser or add them to a roller with carrier oil for topical application. Here's a simple recipe to get you started:
Allergy-Relief Essential Oil Blend:

Add the essential oils to a diffuser and diffuse for 30-60 minutes, or add the blend to a roller with carrier oil and apply to your chest, temples, or under your nose.
As always, it's important to use high-quality (doTERRA) essential oils and to follow recommended dilution guidelines when applying topically. If you have any concerns or medical conditions, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils.
