Natural Solutions for Your Health While Traveling

Whether it’s a winding mountain road, a rocky ferry ride, or a cruise day at sea, motion sickness can derail a trip fast. These are the things we reach for first:

Ginger Drops

Ginger is a classic for queasy tummies, and the Ginger Drops are perfect for:

• Motion sickness in the car, on a train, or on a ship

• That “uh oh, I don’t feel quite right” feeling

• Kids who need something simple and tasty to suck on

How we use them:
We start before we hit the curvy roads or boat days. One drop as we’re heading out, and then another as needed.

Peppermint Beadlets & Peppermint Oil

Peppermint is one of my non-negotiables for travel.

• Peppermint Beadlets = about ¼ drop of peppermint oil. You pop one in your mouth, let it burst, and it freshens your breath while settling your tummy.

• Or you can use 1 drop of Peppermint oil under the tongue (for adults) for a stronger effect.

We use peppermint for:

• Motion sickness

• Midday energy slumps

• That heavy, “I overdid it at the buffet again” feeling

DigestZen: The Belly Button Trick 🙌

If you remember nothing else from this section, remember this:

1 drop of DigestZen in the belly button can do WONDERS.

We’ve used DigestZen for:

• Queasy bellies

• General stomach aches

• Cramps

• Constipation or “I haven’t gone in a couple days…” issues

• After eating something that didn’t agree with us

How we use it:

• 1 drop of DigestZen oil right in the belly button, and gently rub it around the area.

• You can also dilute it with a carrier oil and massage over the stomach.

TerraZyme: For “I Definitely Ate Something I Shouldn’t Have” 😬

Travel + new foods = your digestive system working overtime.

TerraZyme is a digestive enzyme that helps your body:

• Break down fats, carbs, and proteins

• Absorb what it actually needs

• More efficiently eliminate the rest

We especially love TerraZyme when:

• We’re eating heavier or richer foods than normal

• We know a certain meal might not sit perfectly

• We’re trying new foods in other countries

How we use it:
We take TerraZyme with meals, especially the big or questionable ones.

DigestZen Softgels

For those moments when your stomach is already upset, DigestZen Softgels are a simple, ready-to-go option.

We love them for:

• Bloating

• Indigestion

• General “off” tummy days while traveling

I think of them as our “oh no, my stomach hates me” backup plan.

Long walking days, new beds, long flights or drives — your body feels travel.

Deep Blue Stick

Our go-to for aches and pains is the Deep Blue Stick. It’s:

• Easy to apply

• Not super messy

• Amazing for:

  • Lower back pain after walking all day

  • Knee or hip discomfort

  • Shoulder tension from carrying bags

  • My daughter’s flat feet — she puts it on her arches

  • Head tension (we apply to the neck, temples, or shoulders, avoiding the eyes)

We love using Deep Blue as part of our “end of day reset”: stretching, hydration, and rubbing it on whatever is complaining the loudest.

Don’t Forget Hydration

It’s not a product, but it matters:

Staying hydrated is one of the simplest ways to fight headaches, support your immune system, and keep energy up while traveling.

We always bring:

• Refillable water bottles

• Electrolytes for hot days or long walks- we love doTERRA Recharge.

• Lemon essential oil (for adults) to add to stainless or glass water bottles for flavor and occasional gentle cleansing support

Travel days can be stressful. New places, tight schedules, long lines, kids who are off routine… all of it adds up.

Adaptiv Capsules: Our “Drive Day” Secret

One thing we have found incredibly helpful for stress and anxiety is Adaptiv Capsules.

Let me just say:

Before any big drive day, we’re all begging Rob to take Adaptiv.
We notice when he takes it and we definitely notice when he skips it. 😅

For us, Adaptiv helps with:

• Overall calm

• Less reactivity

• A smoother emotional baseline on those long-travel days

Again, not a replacement for professional mental health care — but a beautiful tool in the toolbox for everyday stress support.

The Breathe Respiratory Drops are tiny but mighty. In our house, these are especially loved by Rob — he clings to them when he gets one of those coughs that just won’t quit.

We’ve used Breathe Drops for:

• Nagging, leftover coughs after being sick

• That “out of breath after a hike or long staircase” feeling

• General respiratory comfort on cold or damp days

If you live with asthma, COPD, or other respiratory conditions, always follow your doctor’s plan first and foremost. These drops are a supportive tool, not a replacement for prescribed medication or rescue inhalers — but plenty of people really like them for everyday respiratory comfort.

If you’re reading this thinking, “Okay, I want all the things, but where do I even start?” — here’s my simple recommendation:

Start with the Family Essentials Kit (my core travel oils)

When you grab the Family Essentials Kit (the bundle with the 10 core oils I mentioned), I’ll send you:

1. A little booklet of all the ways to use these oils — simple, practical, travel-friendly ideas, and

2. A Travel Keychain for your essential oils on the go.

That way you’re not just buying oils — you’re getting a mini system and education to go with them.
