Can Aromatherapy Help Hay Fever? Hay fever, or seasonal allergic rhinitis, is your body reacting (overreacting, really) to pollen. The immune system triggers inflammation in the nose, eyes, and sinuses, which is where essential oils can come in. Certain oils have properties that are naturally anti-inflammatory, antihistamine-like, decongestant or calming—all qualities that can help ease hay fever’s hold. Our Favourite Essential Oils for Hay Fever Support Here are the oils we reach for during hay fever season, and how you can use them: 1. Peppermint Cool, crisp, and clarifying. Peppermint oil can help open up the airways, ease congestion and soothe headaches caused by sinus pressure. 2. Eucalyptus A natural decongestant with anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties. It’s a powerful one for supporting the respiratory system. 3. Lavender Calming, soothing, balancing. Lavender is our go-to for reducing inflammation and encouraging relaxation—especially when hay fever affects your sleep. 4. Tea Tree Antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, tea tree can help with clearing congestion and supporting the immune system during allergy flare-ups. These Essential Oils are all found within The Clarity Blend, adding a few drops of our Purest Essential Oil Blend to your Aroma Diffuser will help, or drop onto the back of your pillow or onto a tissue and breath deeply. Practical (and Actually Helpful) Hay Fever Tips Essential oils work beautifully as part of a holistic approach. Here are some simple but surprisingly effective habits to help you through: Keep windows closed first thing and at night when pollen counts are highest. Shower, wash hair and change clothes after spending time outdoors—pollen clings to skin and hair. Dry laundry indoors during high pollen days to avoid it sticking to bedding and towels Apply a balm (like shea) around the nostrils to trap pollen before it enters your nose. Rinse your nose with a saline spray to flush out allergens (surprisingly satisfying). Prioritise rest Hay fever can be exhausting. Sleep, hydration and calming rituals matter more than ever. Create a Little Ritual of Relief Whether it’s a midday mist to clear your mind, a pulse point roller before your morning walk, or a deep lavender bath before bed—small daily rituals can help you feel more in control and connected to your body. Our The Clarity Blend is a favourite during allergy season. Packed with Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Lavender, it supports clearer breathing, calmer energy and a bit more ease when hay fever tries to take over.

Aromatherapy helps to soothe, calm and support your nervous system when you feel out of balance and irritated. Use The Clarity Purest Blend to support when you're on the go to decongest.
