Top 8 Essential Oils I Never Leave Home Without!

Are you SO ready to get out & travel?🤸‍♂️✈️🏝 

When we take off for a family vacation in a couple weeks I will not be leaving my oils behind. I've learned the hard way that oils are lifesavers when we travel.

There are a few favorites that tend to cover most of what you might need while you're on the go, so enjoy learning about these go-to faves…

Top 8 Oils for Travel:

Deep Blue

Rub a couple of drops wherever you are sore. I love this on my feet after a long day of standing in lines at Disney World!

Cheer

Rub 1 drop between your hands, cup over your nose & mouth, & inhale the aroma for 30 seconds to uplift mood instantly. Cranky toddler or teenager (or husband) anyone?

If you're driving you can also put this in a car diffuser (the doTERRA Pilot diffuser is awesome for this, & there are others on Amazon if you can't grab the Pilot one).

DigestZen

Rub 1 drop on the belly, or swallow 1 drop with a glass of water when you need to support any occasional intestinal or stomach issues.

It seems someone always gets some kind of stomach problem on a trip … whether it be gas, diarrhea, belly pain, heartburn, nausea, car sickness. Even with my Gastroenterologist husband in tow, this is what we typically turn to first.

Wild Orange

Rub 1 drop between your hands & inhale to help feel more awake or to reduce anxious feelings. This is also so uplifting if you're tired & need to perk up. 

Also use it in your water to help you drink enough of it (it's easy to get dehydrated when you travel) & to keep your digestive system moving.

Breathe

Rub 1-2 drops between your hands & inhale to INSTANTLY when your nose is stuffy, or you have pressure in your head due to seasonal changes.

So helpful when visiting relatives who have animals that make you sneeze or your nose run, or if you're just starting to not feel your best. 

I also love to use this on planes (which smell like diesel fuel & make me sick). The smell really helps me to keep from getting nauseated. It also helps clean the air your breathing.

Serenity

This blend contains Lavender, vanilla, & many other calming oils. It's definitely a doTERRA favorite for people. 

Have your kids apply 1 drop on the back of their necks for that long car trip. This is SO calming. 

Rub 1-2 drops on the bottoms of the feet if anyone is struggling to fall asleep away from home. You can also use it for anyone experiencing anxious feelings.

OnGuard

Travel seems to really hit your immune system … too many late nights, being around a lot of people, etc. 

Have kids rub 1-2 drops on the bottoms of the feet for immune support, or if they're feeling under the weather. 

For adults or teens, we personally will swallow 1-2 drops with a glass of water. This works like MAGIC when we start to feel under the weather.

For best results, use as soon as you start to feel like your immune system is off, or even when you've been burning the candle at both ends (which is when I tend to come down with something). We'll also be proactive with this & use it before boarding a plane or being in crowds.

Peppermint

Dilute 1 drop with a little fractionated coconut oil (this is SUPER powerful) & inhale or rub on the back of your neck or on your temples for a quick pick-me-up. 

LOVE this when I'm the driver on long car trips. 

Swallow 1 drop with water when your stomach is feeling off, or to freshen breath. 

Also works great in place of chewing gum (& is healthier for you too - gum is not great for the digestive system).
