As
an allergy sufferer, I am always in search of natural medicines to help
alleviate the sinus irritation/infections that results from my allergic reaction
to dust, dust mites, and mold. Short of living in a bubbles. how I can
truly escape these triggers? Or even avoid them? Well the reality
is that I can't because dust mites are everywhere, dust is everywhere and while
I don't have mold in my home, the moisture in the air right before it rains
wreaks havoc on me.
I
was on Periscope (follow
me @kissmenaturecog) and I was talking about how I need my son to test my Kiss Me Nature products
because I have lost all sense of smell. Rita Pardo (also on IG), a fellow scoper,
interacted with me and gave some suggestions as to some essential oils I should
use to help alleviate my sinus congestion. Rita, is the proud owner of Naturally Me and You.
She also suggested Foot Reflexology!!!! So I did some research and
came across this site about
reflexology. As Rita and
I were talking about the carrier oil to use for the massage I was about to give
myself...what do you know, she mentions my favorite oil--COCONUT OIL!!!! Organic
Facts states that the health benefits of coconut oil include hair
care, skin care, stress relief, cholesterol level maintenance, weight loss,
boosted immune system, proper digestion and regulated metabolism. It also
provides relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure,
diabetes, HIV, and cancer, while helping to improve dental quality and bone
strength. These benefits of oil can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid,
capric acid and caprylic acid, and their respective properties, such as
antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-fungal, antibacterial and soothing qualities.
So
with that said, prior to speaking with Rita, I would add some coconut oil to my
sinus rinse for its antimicrobial, antibacterial and soothing qualities.
It is working, but inconsistency is my challenge. So when
Rita suggested reflexology, I thought, why not, I have tried everything
else. Rita is a distributor for Young Living, so when she
suggested a combination of lemon, peppermint and lavender, all essential oils I
know are all anti-inflammatory, I knew it was the start of finally finding a
natural product to hep manage my allergies.
As
the CEO and Founder of Kiss Me
Nature, I made my own therapeutic oil, using the the suggested EO and coconut oil for my reflexology and
aromatherapy oil to open up my sinuses.
The
Aromatherapy worked with in minutes, as I began to smell the wonderful scent of the lemon, peppermint and lavender.
In
just one day, I was 60% better than I have been in years!
