Being prepared for summer ailments is the best way to stay healthy this sunny season. But how? here I share my seven top tips.

1. Keep hydrated: Did you know that your nose, mouth and throat are lined with mucous membranes that trap germs before they enter your body? When you’re dehydrated, these membranes dry out so it’s easier for viruses and bacteria to get in. It’s important to keep drinking water to avoid dehydration. Aim for two to three litres of water each day and tuck into summery water-rich foods too such as watermelon and cucumber. Puressentiel’s range of products can also help to clear the nasal cavity and offer hydration.

2. Relieve that stuffed up feeling: The New Puressentiel Respiratory Nasal Hygiene Hydrating Spray which also combines soothing calendula and sea-water in a 100 per cent plant-based formula. The user-friendly nozzle and multidirectional spray makes this ideal for sensitive and irritated noses. 

For a stronger spray, try the New Puressentiel Respiratory Nasal Hygiene Strong Jet Spray. Made with organic calendula, this deeply cleanses your nose and helps in the treatment of colds, allergic rhinitis and nasopharyngitis.  

To help relieve a stuffy, blocked nose, Puressentiel’s Respiratory Decongestant Nasal Spray, made using a 100 per cent natural and organic relief, is also a first aid bag essential.

This completely natural, sterile saline solution softens blocked nasal mucosa with organic rosemary floral water along with soothing and decongestant essential oils of eucalyptus radiata, rosat geranium, niaouli, ravintsara, as well as propolis. It’s perfect for those who suffer from hay fever and can be used on-the-go, whenever you need.

3. Avoid the midday sun: In the UK, it’s only natural to want to get outside and enjoy the sunshine! But on particularly hot days, too much sun and heat could trigger headaches or migraines in some. Plus, warmer temperature can actually increase pollen concentration, impacting allergic diseases such as hay fever. Humid hot air has also been shown to cause respiratory discomfort- in particular throat irritation.

To help relieve tension in your head, make the New Puressentiel Migra Pure Intense Cooling Stick your go-to. It offers an intense cooling effect to help reduce heavy head sensations in the forehead, temples and neck. It’s made using a 100% natural formula with eight essential oils with analgesic properties including eucalyptus, lavender and exotic basil.

4. Sinuses sore?  Blocked and congested sinuses can stop you breathing comfortably. The New Puressentiel Resp' OK Sinus Express Roll-On is made with six organic essential oils - eucalyptus globulus, peppermint, spike lavender, picea mariana leaf oil, niaouli and marjoram - and offers immediate relief. 

5. Stay active:  Research has found that movement helps support your immune system. But for some, exercising outdoors can trigger allergies. Exercise early in the morning or late evening to avoid overheating. Plus, this is also when pollen is at its lowest so if you are going outside, you’ll be less likely to have to deal with allergens.

6. Keep your indoor air clean: To help beat allergens in your home, Puressentiel Purifying Air Spray is an ideal go-to. It combines 41 essential oils, including two species of lavender, eucalyptus, lemon and geranium (pelargonium), to combat airborne bacteria and viruses, fungal spores, and house-dust mites. 

7. Soothe a cough:  If you do get struck down with a cough, Puressentiel’s Respiratory Soothing Syrup provides 100 per cent natural, fast, effective relief, soothing irritated mucous membranes that line throats and cause coughing. This syrup also provides lasting protection for the upper respiratory tract thanks to a natural, effective, special formula made with a blend of three aromatic honeys, marshmallow extract, elderberry and propolis. 

There is also the Puressentiel Respiratory Cough Syrup, which contains mullein as well as a number of other natural ingredients to help clear a cough and make breathing a little easier. Absolutely vital when trying to bust an allergy cough or allergy congestion which often comes with an irritating cough keeping most sufferers awake at night.
