8 Must-Have Oils for Outdoor Adventures
Deep Blue Stick + Copaiba
This magic stick combines my favorite oils for pain relief—Deep Blue and Copaiba! It's a lifesaver on the go. The stick format is super convenient for travel. No more worrying about washing your hands after applying Deep Blue and accidentally touching your eyes. Just unscrew, apply, and you're set! Keep it handy for all your camping trips, car rides, and hikes. You'll love the ease and relief it brings!
Lavender
I know how hard it can be to get a good night's sleep when you're not in your own bed. Here's a little trick that works wonders: just put a drop of lavender oil on your pillow or sleeping bag. It's great for calming the kids or even helping yourself relax into a peaceful sleep, no matter where you are.
And if you really want to up your sleep game, consider bringing a travel diffuser. They're perfect for hotel rooms, tents, or even the car. DoTERRA has some excellent cordless options like the Pilot and the Roam diffusers, both of which are rechargeable. They make it so easy to create a soothing environment wherever you go.
TerraShield
I wanted to share a great tip for keeping bugs at bay without the nasty smell or chemicals of regular bug spray. And it actually works even better! It's a blend called TerraShield. Instead of spraying yourself all over, just rub a couple of drops of essential oil onto your pulse points. I usually apply a little on my neck, wrists, and ankles—wherever my skin is exposed.
This method is super effective and smells much better than typical bug spray. The scent is mostly Cedarwood, which I really like, and the bugs absolutely hate it. It's a natural and safe alternative that doesn’t contain any of the toxic chemicals found in regular bug repellents.
Give it a try on your next outdoor adventure!
DigestZen
This magic blend is great for soothing an upset stomach and it's super easy and natural. You can take a drop of the DigestZen essential oil blend directly in your mouth and follow it with a glass of water. It works wonders!
For an extra boost, I also rub a little bit on my belly. I find that doing both really helps alleviate any discomfort quickly. It’s a simple, effective way to deal with stomach issues without reaching for over-the-counter meds. And I find it works in about 15 to 20 minutes (so much faster than anything from the store). Give it a try next time you’re feeling off!
Peppermint
I’ve got a fantastic tip for you to support clear breathing and stay cool, whether you're battling a stuffy nose from a cold or dealing with pesky allergies. Just take a drop of Peppermint essential oil by mouth and wash it down with water (only appropriate with doTERRA brand oils…others are not safe for internal use). It’s a simple yet effective way to clear your airways and feel refreshed.
And here’s another cool trick: mix 10 drops of the oil with filtered water in a 2 oz spray bottle. Then, spritz it on your arms, legs, or the back of your neck to instantly cool down. Trust me, it works wonders!
Next time you’re out hiking or catching a baseball game, don’t forget to bring this little gem along. It’ll be your secret weapon for staying comfortable and breathing easy, no matter what the day brings!
Lemon
I love this amazing trick to tackle those pesky seasonal allergies, and I couldn't wait to share it with you!
Here's the deal: try swallowing a drop each of Lemon, Peppermint, and Lavender essential oils either on their own (chase it with a little water) or in a vegetable capsule. It's like a natural shield against seasonal environmental allergens.
Here's an additional tip I love! Adding a couple of drops of Lemon to every glass of water you drink can work wonders too. It's a lifesaver for that annoying tickle in your throat that often comes with allergies. I used to suffer from it too, and trust me, this trick stops that irritating cough in its tracks.
Give it a go and let me know what you think!
Tea Tree
I've got a fantastic natural remedy to share with you for those pesky bug bites, rashes, cuts, scrapes, or bruises. All you need is a drop of Tea Tree and a drop of Lavender essential oils applied directly to the affected area.
Tea Tree oil is like our first aid superhero—it's incredibly versatile and effective. What's even better is that it doesn't sting when you apply it, unlike some other remedies out there.
And here's the best part: both Tea Tree and Lavender are gentle enough to use on even small children without needing to dilute them. It's a safe and soothing solution for the whole family. Next time you encounter any of those little mishaps, give this natural remedy a try and experience the magic for yourself!
OnGuard
I wanted to share one of our family's favorite remedies for when we start feeling a bit under the weather. We absolutely swear by it. It's a blend called OnGuard.
Here's the deal: for adults or teens, simply have them swallow a drop of this special oil, followed by a cup of water. It's a quick and easy way to give your immune system a boost.
Now, for the little ones who might not enjoy the taste (the Clove in it can be a bit spicy for their liking), here's a gentler approach: dilute a drop with a bit of fractionated coconut oil and rub it onto the bottoms of their feet. Then, pop on a pair of socks to keep them from rubbing off on other surfaces so it has time to soak in.
It's our go-to solution for keeping the whole family feeling their best, and I just had to share it with you!
