Natural Health - Your Home Spa in the Sky

Here's a list of whys and hows:

--Clean The Air You Breathe

One of the things that has always bothered me about flying is the close proximity between people (for hours) and breathing the same re-circulated air.
 But even if we are seated farther away from a sick person, germs can spread easily in airplane cabins.


Without fail, every time I get on a plane I say: ""I am so thankful for my oils!""

Here's a recommended routine for keeping the air you breathe as free from pathogenic organisms (the bad bugs) as possible:

Keep your favorite respiratory, cleansing oils on your person, either in your pocket or purse.
 Tuck it into your shirt pocket, slipped up your sleeve, or under your watchband so it is easily accessible to lift up to your nose and inhale.
 I take a few inhalations through the tissue so I can line my respiratory passages with these great oils that will keep the bad bugs away.


You can also create a little spray bottle or use Thieves Spray and spray your seat area.
It might not have anything to do with how much salt we just ate, or if we drank too much water, or not enough.


One of the best essential oils that assists both the blood circulation and the lymphatic circulation is cypress.
 Use it after you land to help mobilize any stagnant fluid.
 It has cypress in it along with a few other single oils that have great properties.
 I have seen great results on people who have used this oil blend for swollen feet.


--Diminish Stress and Relax

Even if you are excited about your destination, there is still stress associated with travel.


Here's what you can do to diminish stress:

--Use Lavender oil on the bottom of your feet and pulse points (my favorite lavender is Young Living's special lavender from St.
 Another essential oil blend that is often recommended for stress is Peace and Calming.
 It will help people around you as well.


--Close your eyes and do some deep breathing, and picture a peaceful scene, the face of a loved one or beloved pet, or your wonderful vacation in your mind! Imagery is a powerful enhancement to health.


One of the most important and effective ways of feeling good while you travel is to Drink Plenty of Water!

--Prevent Jet Lag

This is the bottom line.
According to Charles F.
D.
 Therefore, coast-to-coast recovery time is 3 days because you cross 3 different time zones.


We can do things to prevent Jet Lag.
