Traveling with Essential Oils

     Thank you to all of you who participated in the giveaways over the last couple weeks! The next few blog posts are based on what you voiced you would like to learn more about. Today we are going to look at traveling with essential oils. I have done lot's of traveling this summer and have a little more yet to do, and my oils have been there with me every step of the way.

     So far this summer I have gone to 2 Joni and Friends Family Retreats and have gone tent camping with my Church family. I am also getting ready for my 3rd Family Retreat. I have taken my oils to every one of these events and was so thankful that I had. Not only did I use them, but so did others. At Joni camp I used Thieves, PanAway, Lavender, and Eucalyptus, first because I caught a cold both times I went. And second because I had a bruise on my foot during the second camp. During Church camp I used Lavender, Peppermint and Clove essential oils. I used them as sun protection, bug protection, sunburn and bug bite relief. Other people who were camping with me even used them!

      My parents had gotten me an oil travel case for Christmas and I bought a travel diffuser from Young Living a couple of months ago. These have been such great assets to traveling with my oils. The travel case has made the actual traveling part way more relaxing in the sense that I don't have to worry if the oil bottles are going to break in transit, and it also keeps them in an organized and easy to use place when you get to your destination. The travel diffuser is the perfect size for taking on trips.  It is also very versatile in its power options which makes it an even greater asset. It has the ability to be plugged into the wall as well as to run on batteries.  Another great recourse that I take with me so that I wont be taken by surprise is the Reference Guide pictured below. It has tons of sicknesses, diseases, etc listed in alphabetical  order, under each ailment it lists the oils that help your body take care of that particular thing. It's small enough to fit inside my travel case. (Check out my most recent YouTube video for a demonstration of my travel case.)

             I highly recommend traveling with essential oils whether you're flying or driving and no matter where you're going. You can take oils with you on the plane as part of your carry on. The rules for the planes is that each container can only be 3oz and each flyer is allowed to fill one quart size Ziploc baggy with as many 3oz containers as they want. So definitely take them on the plan with you. For one thing, it's not fun to finally head out on a trip that you're excited about only to get sick or have someone in your group get sick. Plus you if you have trouble sleeping in a new place you'll have your oils with you to make a natural sleep aid or just to help you relax.
