The first time I flew - at 21 I might add - I was really nervous. Halfway through the flight I had to pee so bad because I drank an extra large coffee and downed a ton of water right before we boarded - smart! I finally got the courage to stand up and use the bathroom. As soon as I shut the door and began to think it wasn’t so bad, the seatbelt light turned on!! I was so freaked out!! I ran back to my seat, palms sweating, praying to the Lord I could get my seatbelt on before...before what I have no idea- you know in those situations you just think irrational thoughts. Anyways, I survived and continued to fly after that. I know once I get comfortable in my seat, all will be well.
I thought I would share some essential oils I am bringing on my trip to help with any pain, relaxation, and keeping the immune system healthy. I swear by doTERRA oils, and although they are pricey, they are all therapeutic grade high quality oils - not all oils are made the same. Just be aware when you’re in the market!
Lavender is my go to oil for basically everything. Can’t sleep? Lavender. Feeling anxious? Lavender. Restless? Lavender. Got a rash? Lavender. The list could go on and on but I think you get the point. I like to use lavender if I can’t sleep at night or when I am feeling worked up. It has such a nice relaxing smell. Serenity is a blended oil. This blend is specific to relaxation and lessening the feelings of tension. I know I’ll be using this right before I get on my flight. This oil has a more warm floral scent.
Pain - Deep Blue
This is definitely a more expensive oil but it is my absolute favorite. This oil has a minty scent. I had this in a 15 mL bottle and went through it in about a year, you only need a drop or two when using these oils. This time I opted to purchase the roller ball type because of the way I use it. It’s perfect for rubbing on sore areas of the body and it gets cool on the skin. I wanted to bring this on our trip because we will be doing a lot of walking!
Health - On Guard
On Guard is another favorite oil of mine and I am almost out! I will be repurchasing before school starts as to avoid all those germs! This oil has a warm fall scent, similar to cinnamon! Every single time I start to get a sore throat or sniffle, I rub this on my feet, neck, and temples and 9 times out of 10 I do not get sick. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle. Being on a plane for 6+ hours means lots of people, germs, and recycled air. I will be sure to use this before I get on and as soon as I get off!
I hope this helps as you think about essential oils for travel. Would you want to learn more about how I use my essential oils? Comment below! Stay healthy! Xoxo
