Build the Ultimate Aromatic Travel Kit

Written By: Robin Lander

With summer just around the corner, many of us have travel plans on the horizon. While the anticipation of a new adventure can bring immediate excitement, it’s the long journeys, time zone changes, and unfamiliar lodgings that can take a little time to adjust to.

Why not pack a few favorite aromatics to keep close at hand? Essential oils and hydrosols can help shift your perspective, restore a sense of ease, and help you settle into new surroundings so you can get back to enjoying the experience.

We’ve put together a few of our favorite recipes to help you build the ultimate aromatic travel kit.

Aromatherapy Inhalers

Personal aromatherapy inhalers provide discreet and convenient access to essential oils during your travels, especially those moments when you need support in a hurry.

Road Trip Pick-Me-Up

Time Out

Take a moment to kick back and chill out.

·         6 drops Bergamot

·         4 drops Clary Sage, Conventional

·         2 drops Frankincense CO2, Somalia

Instructions: Place a small piece of cotton ball inside a ¼ oz Amber Glass Bottle. Add the essential oils (about 10-15 total drops), allowing them to fully absorb into the cotton. Cap and label the bottle, then tuck it in your travel bag. To use, open the bottle, hold it under your nose, and breathe slowly and deeply 2-5 times.

Hydrosols for an Instant Refresh

Keep a bottle of Organic Hydrosol nearby to spritz on the face and body as desired. Hydrosols offer gentle aromatherapy to cool and replenish skin. Our 1 oz and 2 oz sizes come with a convenient spray top.

Instructions: Unscrew the spray top from the hydrosol bottle and drop in the essential oils. Replace the top and label the bottle with the new ingredients. Be sure to shake well before each use and avoid the eyes. Alternately, you can use distilled water in a spray bottle. For a 2 oz bottle, double the amount of essential oils.
