Spring into Wellness with Aromatherapy

As the days grow longer and the air warms, spring invites us to refresh our routines and embrace wellness. Aromatherapy can be a powerful tool to support seasonal well-being — from soothing allergies to enhancing your active lifestyle.

Support Seasonal Allergies with Essential Oils

Spring's blooming beauty often brings pollen, dust, and dander. An aromatherapy steam tent can help ease congestion and promote clearer breathing. Simply add one drop of a respiratory support blend (like Breathe Easy) or essential oils such as peppermint or eucalyptus to a bowl of steaming water. Close your eyes, lean in, and inhale deeply. For children, opt for gentler oils like frankincense, cedarwood, or lavender.

Another option is to add a few drops of essential oil to your shower floor or create shower steamers for a refreshing, spa-like experience that supports clear breathing. Avoid strong oils like peppermint or eucalyptus for children under five.

For ongoing support, create a gentle chest rub by adding 5-12 drops of skin-safe respiratory or sleep blends per ounce of unscented cream. Apply to the chest and throat area before bed for restful sleep and allergy relief.
