Vacation is, by definition, a time to relax but sometimes unforeseen circumstances can add stress to your travel plans. Manage your stress — be it from a delayed flight or a slightly seasick stomach — using all-natural aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy uses essential oils and fragrances to help calm and relax the body and mind. While this form of therapy is not for everyone, there are few known side effects; symptoms rarely get worse after using aromatherapy.
Many holistic health stores and even some specialty grocers sell small aromatherapy kits or individual oils. You can use the oils in diffusers, candles or sprays.
AuraCacia, a sustainable essential oil manufacturer, offers a variety of ways to experience the benefits of aromatherapy. Most travel-related ailments stem from an upset stomach — try ginger and peppermint. Use lavender, vetiver or clary sage to ease anxiety and stress. Take a moment to breathe deeply and focus on the scent. Gain clarity and a sense of refreshment from coriander seed or grapefruit. Citrus and cinnamon scents can energize you after a long trip.
AuraCacia makes car diffusers, room sprays and body lotions infused with these essential oils. While most aromatherapy products are too large to take on a flight, some essential oils come in roll-on applicators that are less than one ounce. Try AuraCacia’s Chakra Balancing line of roll-on products for instant, in-flight relief.
