My 5 essential oils during my trip

I don’t like to go with a big pharmacy kit when i travel. Firstly because it takes up space, and also, because I’m rarely sick and that would be almost useless. But above all, I use substitutes that work pretty well on me: essential oils. (And it takes so little space).

They are used for everything: disinfectant, anti-itch, against bloating / sore bellies, against seasickness, anti-emetic, …

CAUTION: Essential oils should be used with care. If you have health concerns or doubts, check with your doctor that everything is ok for taking them. (And they are of course forbidden for pregnant women and young children). Find here are the precautions and warnings.

Some oils can come into contact with the skin, others can not. Always ask before using because they are very concentrated and powerful. (yes, so much poweeeeeeeer…).

• Ingested, dilute in vegetable oil.
• If you use it in bath, use milk powder or cream to better dilute the essential oil in your bath water because otherwise the essential oil it does not furrow.
• Finally, always close your essential oil after use because aromatic compounds are extremely volatile; and keep the bottle away from the sun.

Here is my list of organic essential oils that I take everywhere with me:

ORGANIC PEPPER MINT:

It’s  my queen of essential oils. I use it for my bloating and in case of aerophagia, terribly effective! It can be irritating the skin for some people, so always check before on a crease of the elbow. And it is only one symptom among others that it can easily cure :

• Tired: A drop on the temples or inside the wrists.
• Headache: A drop to apply on the nape of the neck at the hairline.
• Heavy legs: Two drops mixed with aloe vera gel and massage on the legs.
• Motion sickness: Two drops on a handkerchief to breathe.
• Nausea : A drop under the tongue or on the wrists.
