Boring I know but I always respond well to eucalyptus as it affects my breathing and it clears me out..

I treated someone with hay fever yesterday and, from memory,Christine Westwoodrecommends juniper and rose (didn't specify which), though Louise Tucker doesn't mention either in connection with hay fever. No surprise there, then.

Hi,

Try Roman Chamomile in a blend it is very calming and antiinflammatory.

Hi,
For hayfever, try hyssop in some vaseline applied to the nostrils.

Hyssop is also good for sinusitis, as is myrtle. It is gentler than most euycalyptus's and not stimulating so can be used at night.

Good luck

I've used peppermint essential oil with great success in riding me of my stuffiness.

I suffer from Hayfever myself, so i will use these examples and see how they work for me.

Great Post, Great responses...

Thanks.

Price & Price certainly supports lottiejane about myrtle & hyssop and also indicates GERMAN Chamomile as well as caraway. All with plenty of clinical research.

I prefer to treat with calendula / marigold and evening primrose (30%) and NON cold-pressed sweet almond (70%). Note, that cold-pressed base oils would be less favourable due to higher pollen levels!

Also note that both caraway and hyssop make gorgeous herbal tea, but should not be used at all by pregnant women (emmenagogue) and should also not be applied or ingested too frequently as they both have very high levels of ketone toxins.

All said, myrtle and blue chamomile are very safe and gentle bets – blue chamomile in very small dose during first trimester, though
