Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Aromatherapy Travel Kit oils Going traveling? a few small bottles of Essential oils in a little cosmetic bag can really help. You can easily make your own kit. Peppermint - can be inhaled for a headache or rubbed into the temples. For nausea a drop on the tongue is a nice breath freshener. One or two drops helps reduce any kind of pain and bring down a fever. Lavender - to experience the relaxing effects place a few drops rubbed into the temples or placed on a tissue and inhale. I always carry a wash cloth in a Ziploc baggy on long flights. A few drops of Lavender on a wet cloth is so refreshing! Add 15 drops in your bath after you arrive at your destination, this has a calming and peaceful effect. Carry a small spray bottle with Lavender hydrosol and mist your face often. Rosemary - is a very perky and stimulating essence. To really feel awake the day after arriving, try placing a few drops on top of your head then duck under the shower. Refresh by rubbing a few drops into your temples and scalp. Rosemary also stimulates hair growth. Eucalyptus - for stuffy sinuses or a sore throat place a few drops on a tissue and inhale or rub into the neck. Add a few drops when having a hot shower or in your bath on arrival. Helps sore achy muscles from being cramped on long flights. Bay Laurel - place a few drops on a tissue and inhale. For swollen lymph glands rub a few drops in. Excellent for combating jet lag. Geranium - helps restore exhausted adrenals. Merely place a few drops on a tissue and inhale. Rub a few drops on your low back and kidney area. Add 10-15 drops in your bath after you arrive at your destination. A drop of oil in a glass of water is a good mouthwash and helps heal sores on the tongue, inside the mouth or lips. Geranium helps for burn out and exhaustion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
