Essential Oils for Traveling
How to store essential oils for traveling
If you’re anything like us, you keep your favourite oils on hand wherever you go - your gym bag, your desk, your purse. You can preserve your oils and store them safely while on the go by using a carrying case made especially for essential oils or using a Chilly Bag with icepacks.
How to travel with essential oils on a plane
If you’ll be flying over the holidays, you might wonder whether you can bring essential oils in your carry-on bag. The short answer is yes. Since essential oils are liquids and usually only contain 5 or 15 ml worth of oil, you can bring as many oil bottles as fit in a quart-size bag.
If you want to take more than that, you can put them in your checked luggage. Just be sure to tighten the caps securely so they don’t leak onto your clothes. You might also want to put them in a carrying case for good measure.
What travel gear should you pack on your trip?
When it’s time to travel, it is important to be prepared with the equipment you need to get you through your trip.
Simply throwing your essential oils in your luggage will make it difficult to find the oils when you need them. Pack an oil travel case to easily organize and store your essential oils.
Hydration is key when travelling. Oftentimes, we neglect to keep ourselves hydrated when we are stuck in the hustle and bustle of travel life. Bring a refillable water bottle to meet your daily water needs. Add your favourite Vitality oils or YL Vitality Drops to elevate your water and add a splash of flavour.
Cut out the mess and hassle of trying to put your full-size product into travel containers with our Bon Voyage Travel Pack. This bundle offers 10 Young Living personal care products in an attractive, custom bag. All products are TSA-compliant and perfect for use during travel.
Take a travel-sized diffuser! A diffuser will help you refresh and uplift hotel rooms, rental cars, and cabins. If a travel diffuser isn’t on your must-pack list, bring a clay diffuser or diffuser bracelet instead! Simply pop a few drops of oil on the clay beads or diffuser to reap the essential oil aromatherapy benefits whenever you need.
