Sally Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Hi there, me again, I forgot to ask you all, has anyone got a proven blend of either EO's or FO's for hay fever sufferers, my big boy is home from uni for the summer next week & I'd love to be able to make him a tin or tarts to help his hayfever. He's been such a fabulous helper & so supportive with my soy adventures it would be really nice to surprise him with this. Thanks again.SallyOk I've just found some sinus relief suggestions in the archives, I'll give one or two a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommytwo Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I just got some FO from AromaHaven called Avalanche. It is a combination of peppermint and eucalyptus. It's pretty strong.....cleared me right up just adding the FO to the wax!! Had to stand an arms length away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Thanks Sheri, I've got both peppermint & eucalyptus EOs so I'll play with them til I'm happy. Most of the EOs I'm testing are working pretty well in my 4oz tins so I'll see how these go & let you know what the results are.Sally.

stacien Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Sally try equal parts Lavender, Peppermit and Eucalyptus EO's. Its a known remedy for colds. They are all top note scents so it should be equal parts. It does work. I use it especially after my kids get over the flu to freshen up the rooms.

I don't have many FO's yet but I love playing with my EO's & mixing them up.I'm even being a good girl & taking lots of notes....so unlike me to be organised!Thanks for your help Stacie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I would caution you though to be careful with EOs since they are derived from plants. I have a friend that can't have any EOs made from plants she is allergic to but FOs are O.K. for her. For instance, she can't have a candle or any B&B made with sage EO as she is very allergic to sage. Even burning in a candle, she has had a reaction. This may not hold true for all but just some advice based on my experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
