Create a "Pollen Buster" Blend with Essential Oils

Discover a Springtime Favorite Known as the Pollen Buster Blend 

For some, there is a downside when Springtime rolls around. The environment changes and seasonal symptoms tend to arrive. This is a particularly sensitive time of year for those who struggle with environmental pollutants. The yellow stuff blows in the wind. Itchy eyes. Watery Nose. Seemingly endless sneezing. These symptoms are the cost of the changing environment that some of us have no choice but to pay and unfortunately I'm one of them. 

I enjoy being outside so much, it's a part of who I am.  If it's nice out then I am going outside for some activities like hiking, walking the dogs, swimming, or even reading/listening to podcasts. Life to me is a little better when I can feel fresh air and sunshine. The only thing I battle with is the springtime air. Even as a health and physical education teacher, I sometimes have no choice but to be outside with the children, even on the highest pollen days. 

Personally, I have found some essential oils to provide seasonal support when I am having the greatest difficulty. As always, I believe that nothing should replace medical advice from a healthcare professional, but I still think it is important to share my anecdotes.

Over the last several years, I have personally transitioned to a life with regular use of essential oils which I share about regularly here. I am excited to be on this journey and share with others what I have found to be supportive of my body during these challenging seasonal changes.

One springtime essential that I use every year when spring rolls around is my Pollen Buster Roller. 
It's one of my favorites and go-to blends which includes Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint. The LLP Trio which is also known as Pollen Buster Blend. I put these three essential oils into a roller bottle for easy application of the spring essential oils when I am on the go. I use this roller blend to find comfort when I am feeling all the springtime things. 

These essential oils are something that I cannot help but to share since I have experienced and heard so many excellent testimonies regarding use of these natural plant extracts.  

Many of my readers know how much I value the Premium Start Kit as a great starting place. In the Premium Starter Kit you will receive all of the essential oils to make this Pollen Buster Blend. In addition to the Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint needed for this blend, the Premium Starter Kit also includes nine additional essential oils that are very versatile in how to use them and even considered our everyday oils that we love in our house. 

Ingredients for Pollen Buster Roller / LLP Roller: 

• 10 ml roller bottle
• 10 drops of Lemon Essential Oil 
• 10 drops of Lavender Essential Oil 
• 10 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil 
• Carrier oil of choice such as Fractionated Coconut Oil

How to make the Pollen Buster Roller / LLP Roller 

• In a 10 ml roller bottle add about 40 essential oils total such as:  
• Add 10 drops of lemon essential oil  (exclude citrus oils if going out in the sun, they might be a photosensitive)
• Add 10 drops of lavender essential oil 
• Add 10 drops of  peppermint essential oil 
• Optional: add 10 drops roman chamomile essential oil and 10 drops of copaiba essential oil to the Pollen Buster or LLP recipe for additional support
• ​Once all essential oils have been added, fill the remainder of the roller bottle with a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil or pure almond oil.
• Put the roller ball on the bottle carefully and then screw the lid back on the container.

I apply this roller on my wrists, bottom of my feet, behind my ears, on my chest or spine for support during the spring. 

Safety about the Pollen Buster Roller:
Since my Pollen Buster Roller has lemon essential oil in the recipe, it’s important to be safe when using it on my skin. I only apply this roller on skin that will not be exposed to the sun because of photosensitivity. I apply my Pollen Buster Roller behind my ears or on the bottoms on my feet if I know I’m going to be in the sun to protect from photosensitivity. 

I highly recommend getting an Essential Oil Desk Reference to learn more about using essential oils safely in your home! 

There are several other ways that I use this springtime trio. Although, I use the pollen buster roller often, I also use these three bottles in my home and take them with me for individual use too. 

• Try adding a few drops of Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint to the diffuser while inside for an uplifting yet soothing aroma. It's perfect for springtime mornings. 
• Put a drop of peppermint on the back of your neck, behind your ears, on your wrists, or on your chest when going outside. When applied topically peppermint creates a cool, tingling sensation on the skin, which can be very soothing. It's something I enjoy when going for a run or spending time outside during warmer months. 
• Put a drop on Lavender on the back of your neck, behind your ears, on your wrists, or on your chest when going outside for soothing aroma. 

I order a lot of my DIY and roller labels from Etsy. There are so many cute Pollen Buster or springtime labels available to help finish the fun and add style to your DIY in your home. Even check out my supply page where I have favorite oil supplies outlined for convenience.
