How Essential Oils For Travel Can Help

Why? Here are just a few of the many reasons.

4. To help purify water.
5. To deal with digestive difficulties.
6. To have a natural first aid kit away from home.
7. To deal with motion sickness - air sickness, car sickness, etc.

The Essential Oil Advantage
Why essential oils and not some other natural product? Because essential oils do so many helpful things simultaneously. This is because each drop is made of hundreds of different compounds.

An Example with Peppermint
A therapeutic grade of the essential oil of peppermint contains compounds that have antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, anti-viral and pain-relieving properties. It also contains compounds that can help aid digestion and help curb the appetite. In addition, it is one of the oils that helps with clear thinking. Would that be of value to you on a business trip?

People are also using it for headaches, back discomfort, and more.

Have you ever been on a plane on the ground in the summer and the air conditioning wasn't working? It can get pretty hot. Before knowing about essential oils for travel, I would have suffered through it.

Now my one quart plastic bag contains a bottle of peppermint oil that contains 15-20 drops of peppermint. In my briefcase, I carry a spray top for it. In the event of being too warm, I simply add water to the peppermint bottle, replace its usual cap with the spray top I brought along, and spritz myself with a cooling peppermint oil mist.

Why peppermint? Because it is a cooling oil. Some people put it on the soles of their children's feet to help bring down a fever. If you're in a warm climate or your room is too hot, you can always spritz on peppermint oil.
