Spring is one of the most beautiful times of year – the warmth returning, flowers blooming everywhere, and that fresh energy in the air. But for so many of us, the beauty of spring can come with some unwelcome guests: sneezing fits, itchy eyes, and skin that just won't settle down.
After years of spring sniffles and itchy skin affecting our Moon Haven family, we've discovered some gentle, natural ways to help ease these seasonal struggles. We thought it was the perfect time to share what's worked for so many of us.
Here's how each of these can help support you naturally through spring:
🌿 Stuffy sinuses & hay fever: Breathe Easy Pulse Point Potion to help open airways naturally
🌼 Itchy, irritated skin: Calendula Salve for gentle, soothing relief
🌱 Persistent skin flare-ups: Chickweed & Plantain Salve to calm hot, scratchy skin
✨ Ongoing skin support: Eczema & Psoriasis Pack for complete, gentle care
As all those beautiful trees, grasses, and flowers release their pollen, our bodies sometimes overreact – thinking this natural pollen is something to fight off.
This can trigger:
- Sneezing, runny noses, and that stuffy feeling
- Itchy, watery eyes that just won't quit
- Exhaustion from poor sleep (thanks, blocked sinuses!)
- Skin reactions like hives, eczema flare-ups, and general itchiness
Over the years, we've found that using gentle, natural approaches can bring such effective relief.
🌿Breathe Easy Pulse Point Potion
This blend has been so helpful during spring season. We created this specifically to help open airways and provide quick relief when that familiar congestion sets in.
Many of our Moonies keep one in their handbag and use it throughout the day – just a gentle swipe on temples, wrists, or carefully under the nose (well away from the eyes).
The refreshing aroma helps breathing feel so much easier, and it's small enough to take anywhere.
Spring allergies don't just affect our breathing – they often show up on our skin too. If you're dealing with hives, rashes, or general itchiness (or if you're prone to eczema or psoriasis), here's what many of us reach for:
Calendula has been used for ages to calm irritated skin, and our salve is wonderfully gentle when hives or rashes appear.
Many find it takes that sharp edge off itchiness and gives skin the chance to settle down naturally.
For really persistent itchiness – especially when skin feels hot and scratchy – this salve is a favourite. These two herbs are nature's comforters, cooling and soothing without any harshness.
Just a small tin in your bag means relief is always within reach.
If you're someone whose eczema or psoriasis tends to flare with pollen season, having a complete routine can make all the difference.
Our Eczema & Psoriasis Pack brings together four of our most skin-supportive products to help:
- Soothe active flare-ups gently
- Deeply hydrate dry, distressed skin
- Calm the irritation that often comes with allergies
It provides consistent, gentle care for your skin through spring's unpredictable changes.
While we love sharing what's worked for our Moon Haven family, these natural supports aren't meant to replace medical advice. If your allergies or skin conditions are severe, please do seek guidance from your healthcare professional.
What we can share is what's worked for many of us and the feedback from thousands of Moonies who've found relief in these gentle, natural remedies.
As we welcome spring, we hope you know that you don't have to simply endure hay fever or irritated skin. With the right natural supports, this can truly be a season of joy and renewal.
We hope you find the natural support that works for you – whether through a little Pulse Point Potion for quick relief, a soothing salve for your skin, or a complete routine that nurtures you through the season.
From all of us at Moon Haven, we wish you a beautiful, peaceful spring with easier breathing.
With care and warmth,
Leonie & the Moon Haven Family 💕
