What a very unusual Summer it has been. Record highs in some places and record lows in others. Whatever your weather I do hope that you have been able to find some peace and relaxation over the summer months to recharge your batteries for the return to normal in September.
Have you ever considered extending your current knowledge of essential oils by taking a more formal course of training?
Your bags are packed and you're ready to leave. Hopefully you've remembered to take along a few essential oils to make your holiday even more pleasant.
When traveling by car consider making up a mister with essential oils. In fact I make up misters to keep the car smelling fresh all the time. Fill up a small spray bottle with 90ml (3 oz) distilled water or hydrosol, then add 60 drops of your special essential oil blend. For those prone to travel sickness/nausea consider adding some peppermint to the blend. See More Summer Blends for suggestions.
When you arrive at your destination have a mister spray to freshen up your hotel bedroom. Make up as described above and add 60 drops of your favourite blend or see More Summer Blends.
If you have traveled over time zones you might be faced with Jet lag. To counteract this you can add essential oils to your morning and evening bath. Grapefruit in the morning is a wonderful pick me up and will get you going in the morning. In the evening add roman chamomile or lavender (or a blend of the two) to your bath to help you sleep peacefully through the night.
To keep those pesky insects away you can make up a mister to spray into the air or add your blend of essential oils to carrier oil (sweet almond etc) or a body cream to use topically. If you are spraying the blend into the air you can use 60 drops of your blend in 90ml (3ozs) of distilled water and if you are applying it topically to your skin you need to dilute the blend down to 15 drops in 30ml (1oz) of carrier or 45 drops in 90ml (3 ozs). Make up your own favourite blend of insect repellent essential oils or see More Summer Blends below.
While spending all this time outside having fun I do hope that you will use lots of sunscreen, however, if you do end up suffering from sunburn, lavender hydrosol can be very helpful in soothing red, sunburned skin. Just dab on carefully over the burned areas.
