Learn How to Make a Natural Medicine Travel Kit
As you well know, I absolutely love to travel.After my great love for nutrition and yoga, travel is right there alongside them with ways I want to spend my time.For years, Ross & I have dreamed about going to teach English (and yoga!) abroad and recently we've been in some pretty serious discussions about South Korea. Nothing decided yet but fun chats to be having!And when I travel, I don't and have not had vaccinations, taken prescription drugs, or carried a first aid kit of drugs or medicine with me.From India, to Australia, to Thailand, Europe, and New Zealand I have stayed healthy, strong, and disease-free the all natural way.This is an insider's peek into what I bring with me when I travel to deal with the following:
Upset stomach
Digestive problems
Bloating and Gas
Bathroom Issues
Occasional Constipation or the opposite
Alleviate Nausea
Bug Bites
Unclean Facilities
Tense Muscles
Nervous Irritability
Immune Support
Support for lung and sinuses
Soothing away tension
Promote restful sleep
Below you will find a first aid kit of essential oils, specifically, Young Living essential oils which I have personally chosen as the brand I want to work with and use.I am not going to tell you that you shouldn't get vaccinations or that you shouldn't take prescription drugs. But I am going to tell you what I use in place of those. Of course, the decision is 100% yours.You have directions here for how to use the oils, above all else, use common sense. If it feels right, use it, if it doesn’t feel right leave it. Feel assured that you cannot make a mistake when using oils. You cannot “take too much” or “overdose.” They are nature, plant medicine, and any excess will simply be excreted naturally through the body.Rule of thumb: 1 – 4 drops will usually do the job.The oils are fun and can be used lots of ways! One way is to put them on the bottom of your feet. Actually, they all work on the bottom of your feet. However, they can be placed everywhere on the body: back of neck, temples, forehead, spine, abdomen, wrists, mouth, everywhere! Enjoy them! Play with them! Experiment and be open to the process.
Here is my Natural Medicine Kit with what I use & why.
