Yay! Its vacation time!
Lots of people ask me “well, if you don’t use pharmaceuticals - what do you take in your medicine bag when you travel?”
So I thought I could share an organized list with all of you :)
When traveling (especially with kids) I like to be prepared for the little emergencies that could really put a damper on the trip but can easily be manages with the right natural treatment.
I have my basic travel emergency kit and to that I add a few things depending on the season and type of trip I’m going on.
My basic kit contains:
Lavender essential oil – the king of oils. Great for almost every emergency from cuts and bug bites to headaches, sleeplessness and bad odors… it is a disinfectant, antibacterial and analgesic oil, among other attributes.
*Pain Away – great for muscle and joint pain, cramps, headaches
Coconut oil – perfect first aid to calm irritated skin conditions – dryness, rashes and chafing
*Ouch! – for all kinds of cuts, burns, bites and bruises – calms the pain and heals the skin
*Natural eye drops – for dryness, itchiness and even eye infection
Coriander essential oil or Fennel essential oil – for digestion related issues
*Pure lips – lip balm for dry or chapped lips. Also helps with any dry spots on the body
For long trips and air travel - *Protection Spray –supports the immune system and protects against germs and viruses
For cold weather - my *Sinus roller or Eucalyptus Radiate essential oil – for nasal congestion
For nature trails, hot weather and places with mosquitoes and bugs - Ouch! and citronella essential oil – to repel mosquitoes and bugs and to calm any bites burns or scrapes
and let’s hope you don’t need any of it!
Have a good and safe trip!
