Vibrant Blue Oils Allergy Relief Kit™️ contains three powerful oils –Histamine Balance™️, Breathe™️ and Sinus Support™️ – that when used in combination with healthy lifestyle changes, helps calm allergic reactions. Histamine Balance™: Histamine is a chemical compound released by the cells in response to injury, allergic or inflammatory reactions, causing contraction of smooth muscle and dilation of capillaries. Histamine plays a role in immune responses, regulates physiological function in the gut, and acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. While the release of histamine is a normal defense mechanism, an exaggerated histamine response can bind to cell receptor sites, causing irritation and chronic inflammation. This inflammation of the nasal passages, sinuses, lungs and eyelids can cause sneezing, runny nose, watery, red, itchy eyes, rashes, breathing troubles such as wheezing, severe coughs, asthma, or hiccups. Inflammation of the small intestine can present as food allergies and sensitivities. Inflammation of the brain presents as fatigue, headaches and brain fog. All of these symptoms are due to differing histamine receptor cells being overactive, which triggers numerous immune system reactions. Histamine levels are designed to be kept in balance by two enzymes that breaking down excess histamine and prevent allergic reactions. One of these enzymes lives in the lining of our intestines and must be present to maintain balanced histamine levels in the gut. A damaged gut lining compromises the production and secretion of this enzyme allowing histamine to build up and wreak havoc throughout the body. The goal is to balance, not block, the histamine response as histamine performs critical functions in body, contributing to HCL production and neurotransmitter signals. The essential oils in the Histamine Balance blend are uniquely suited to modulate excess histamine excretion, balancing histamine levels and helping to reset the immune response and reduce allergic reactions. Blue Tansy, in particular, is known for neutralizing histamine and helping to control allergic reactions. Breathe™: Breathe™ is designed to open and soothe airways and tissues of the respiratory system, loosen and expel mucus, reduce inflammation and stimulate the regeneration of lung tissue. Can be useful in situations when the ability to breathe easy is challenged: allergies, asthma, bronchitis, colds, coughs, decongestant, expectorant, mucus, pneumonia, respiratory inflammation and congestion, sinusitis, sore throat, lung infection, bacterial and viral infections as well as chronic inflammation of the mucus membranes. Also beneficial to those who practice yoga, for use before pranayama (breathing exercises). Sinus Support™: The sinuses are a connected system of hollow cavities in the skull that are lined with soft, pink tissue called mucosa. Normally, the sinuses are empty except for a thin layer of mucus. Most of our sinuses drain into our nose through small holes. Sinusitis (or inflammation of the sinuses) can be uncomfortable and difficult to treat. The pockets become filled with thick mucous, bacteria or fungus. The tissue swells and the drainage openings into the nose become inflamed and blocked no longer allowing fluid to escape. This then leads to the common symptoms of sinusitis: headaches, facial pressure and even toothaches form surrounding nerve impingement. Essentials oils can easily travel into the small holes to loosen mucous and promote drainage. Sinus Support works as local decongestants that break up mucus, stimulate drainage of the nose and sinuses and relieve head pressure. Essential oils are also antimicrobial, to help resolve infectious organisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungus in the sinuses and nasal cavity.
