Re: [Everything doTERRA] allergic reaction

I am so sorry you are having struggles. I remember dr hill saying that because their are no proteins in tha oils they cannot cause you these problems. I do know that you are having them and I would cease using them and then test yourself for candida. The spit test is easy and fairly accurate

I agree with allergic reaction to skin care.  I have seasonal allergies and recently switched to the skin care line.  I had been using the moisturizer first and was fine then a few months later added tightening serum and hydrating cream.  Both eyelids developed bumps and swelling. I went to my estethetician and used a gentle calming balm for a week which helped the swelling subside, but not totally go away.  My goal is to try a differently product soley each day to see if I react.

 

Today I tried the tightening serum very lightly on my face and not near my eyes.  They have started to itch and swell again so I've isolated it to that product.  I also stopped using Sandalwood for other things.  Pretty sure that's the ingredient that is causing it but still testing others.

 

I will also do the same thing with the hydrating cream after I calm my face down again.

 

A friend showed a picture of my eyes to a bunch of people at the conference and they all said there is no way that an oil could cause that.  I disagree.  We all have different body makeup and react to ingredients differently. 

 

If anyone can provide me with suggestions to how to handle allergies to pollen, mold (I diffuse Purify which helps), dust, etc. especially where my reaction is more in my eyes than my respitory system, I'm open for suggestions.

Did you apply the skin care to the eye area? This is not a place to put any of the product, even though there are no chemicals in the skin care you still want to keep it away from the eyes. I would rub some Fractionated Coconut Oil on the inflamed are and you can put that in or around your eyes.

This is my second day using the skin care kit and my eyes are swollen and very itchy. I had this reaction a long time ago when I used an eye shadow. I ended up going to the ER since I couldn't open my eyes. They gave me a steroid injection and a high dose of allegra and after a few days of prednisone and allegra it went away. I don't want to go to the doctors just yet cause I really want to try the oils. What oils can I use to put around my eyes to relieve the itchiness and swelling?
