When you pack for your next summer vacation, you might not think to pack any essential oils. However, there are a number of essential oils that can be ideal to bring along during your summer trips. So, which are the most ideal essential oils for summer travels? Here, we’ll take a closer look at essential oils for summer travels.
Essential Oils for Summer Travels
Relieve Sunburn
Are you only relying on Aloe Vera gel to relieve your sunburn? If so, think again! The anti-inflammatory properties of certain essential oils can help reduce swelling, pain, and any scarring that may occur as a result of sunburn. The best essential oils for sunburn relief are lavender, chamomile, peppermint, geranium, and tea tree. Simply add to a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, or Aloe Vera gel and apply to the affected areas.
Keep Bugs Away
If you’re looking for an eco-friendlier bug spray that isn’t full of potentially toxic chemicals, then look no further than essential oils. They are known to work as powerful weapons against bugs. A homemade DIY bug spray made from Thyme and/or orange essential oil will be useful to bring along on your trip. Both of these essential oils are known to ward off ticks, which may make them effective at preventing Lyme Disease. Thyme and orange also both help keep the mosquitoes at bay.
Soothe Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac
Planning a camping trip? If so, some of the essential oils you may want to bring along some lavender, tea tree, peppermint, and chamomile essential oils. Their anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe the rash and reduce itching. Simply dilute with a carrier oil and apply directly to the affected areas or create a compress from one or more of these essential oils.
Relieve Stings
Are you going to be at risk of being stung by a bee or jellyfish? If so, you will want to pack essential oils that can help relieve the pain and swelling that these stings can cause. The anti-inflammatory properties of lavender, peppermint, chamomile and tea tree essential oils can reduce swelling and relieve pain. You might also want to pack eucalyptus essential oil, which offers antiseptic properties that can help prevent an infection from forming.
These are just some of the best essential oils for summer travels. Whether you’re planning to go on a beach vacation or a hiking trip, it’s worth packing some essential oils for your vacation!
