For Seasonal Stuff & Stuffiness
Many use what we call an Allergy Bomb to help reduce the annoyances of outdoor and/or indoor allergens. Combined with Lavender, Lemon and Copiaba, and used consistently, this combo helps you enjoy life again. The combo can be put in a capsule for ease or made into a roller ball for topical application. Our Vitality line (5ml) is labeled and approved for ingestion, but the exact same oil goes in our regular bottles and it's a little cheaper to buy the bigger bottles (15ml).
Peppermint alone, used topically, can help relieve the fog and stuffiness.
