We all have our own ways of coping with challenging travel—not all of them are the healthiest choices, but just the ones we’re used to. On your next vacation, consider taking yourself out of your usual routine and try something a little different.
I like to use Plant Magic by Ndidi series, which relies on the healing properties of plants. Rather than providing a quick (but temporary) Band-Aid to a current problem, herbal remedies address the root of the problem and support overall health.
One of my favorite items is Cool rolling beadswhich tucks neatly into my carry-on bag and is great for when I need to relax on a plane after all the rushing and waiting elements of travel, when I’m stuck in traffic, and just about any lifestyle All can be used. The combination of lavender, clary sage, Roman chamomile, vetiver, and coconut oil helps calm my mind and relieve my tension so I can focus on enjoying each day.
The best way to use the rolling beads when you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stressed is to apply a small amount to your wrists and behind your ears.
I’m also a fan of the show wake up walking beadswhich helps pick me up after a long flight or a bad night’s sleep in a new hotel. This essential oil blend contains citrus, floral, and herbal scents (wild lavender, sweet orange, grapefruit, peppermint, and jojoba oils) to help awaken the senses and rejuvenate you when you’re feeling low on energy.
