 <\/p>\n

My Top Travel Oils::<\/strong><\/p>\n

OnGuard\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 The Protective Blend.\u00a0 Everyone always seems to come down with something as soon as you slow down.\u00a0 This blend is great to use to support the immune system. \u00a0I rub a drop or two on the bottoms of the whole\u00a0family feet anytime we are traveling\u00a0because you never know what you’ll\u00a0come in contact with. This blend also comes in a capsule and beadlet form.\u00a0 To soothe a sore throat pop an OnGuard Throat Drops or Beadlet in your mouth!\u00a0 Love these!\u00a0 Easy for on-the-go.\u00a0 I also make my own natural hand cleanser : add 25+ drops to aloe vera gel in a bottle that I carry with me.<\/p>\n

DigestZen<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Digestive Blend.\u00a0 Hello tummy tamer! New, unfamiliar, rich foods and overindulging can be a lot for your tummy to take so inhale or rub 1-2 drops of this blend (diluted with a carrier oil)\u00a0on your stomach for instant relief.\u00a0 \u00a0Before travel I always rub this on my stomach to ease motion sickness. A drop in liquid (I prefer almond milk) has always calmed any occasional stomach issue that have arose. Not keen on the smell or taste of black liquorice?\u2026.DigestZen also comes in capsule and chewable tablet form, which makes it super great for travel!<\/p>\n

Lavender\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0All things calm!! Lavender is my FIRST AID IN A BOTTLE.\u00a0 A must when away from home.\u00a0 Being in an unfamiliar bed, I love to add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet for a restful night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0 Not only calming on the mind but it is also calming to the skin. Lavender soothes occasional skin irritations and is amazing relief from too much sun. \u00a0Rub\u00a0a drop or two\u00a0on area of concern and add peppermint if additional cooling is needed.<\/p>\n

Breathe<\/strong>\u00a0(aka Easy Air) \u2013The Respiratory\/ Clear Blend. For long car rides I love to put a few drops of breathe on a tissue in the air vents to keep the air flow fresh and pure.\u00a0 For stuffy noses I put 2 drops in my palms, rub vigorously and inhale deeply\u2026Instant relief!\u00a0 It is also great for seasonal effects as well- Rub 1-2 drops over the lungs, sinuses,\u00a0bottoms of the feet, back of the neck, or diffuse as needed to open up airways.<\/p>\n

TerraShield\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 The Repellent Blend. If you\u2019re like me and are loved by mosquitoes this blend will be your best friend! I LOVE the smell (think soft, citronella spa! \u2026no toxic DEET aerosol spray) This oil comes in a handy spray bottle, so simply a few spritzes to the skin to keep the mosquitos and other bugs away. I used this blend last summer while at the lake in Canada (where mosquitoes could carry you away) and didn’t get a single bite! If you have brought along your diffuser- pop a few drops in and put it on the patio while dinning outside.<\/p>\n

Peppermint\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0Cool and Energized.\u00a0 It\u2019s great to take along Peppermint oil to help with unexpected headaches, tummy troubles, or lethargy. This oil keeps us alert + energised when on long road trips.\u2026a few drops on a tissue and pop it in the air vents to wake + refresh.\u00a0 Dab on the temples and back for neck for occasional headaches or to give relief from foggy jet lag brain. I like to inhale straight from the bottle when I am feeling drowsy or nauseous. It has a cooling affect on the skin, which is great to spritz on when you\u2019re in a HOT climate or if you’ve gotten a bit too much sun.\u00a0 Peppermint also comes in beadlets, which are great to pop in your mouth on the go to freshen breath, calm tummies or open up airways.<\/p>\n

Deep Blue\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013The Soothing Blend.\u00a0 We tend to do a lot of active outdoor activities when exploring new places so I love Deep Blue to soothe sore muscles\u2026.ready to tackle the next day! \u00a0I also love a swipe on the back of my neck for head and neck tension.\u00a0 This Blend also comes in a cream that is easy to apply to areas of concern.<\/p>\n

Vetiver<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Grounded and Still.\u00a0 Apply 1-2 drops on the back of the neck, bottoms of feet or diffuse for the most amazing sleep.\u00a0 Traveling across many time zones jet lag gets the best of me and I tend to find myself laying awake at 2am.\u00a0 I can personally say that Vetiver + Lavender combo is the only thing that will help me fall asleep and STAY asleep as I get readjusted to the new time.<\/p>\n
