I'm leaving on a jet plane...

The beginning of the song always makes me want to jump on an airplane and leave... visit family and friends, learn about new cultures and countries. The summer is here, school is over or almost over, and many will go on vacation. Unfortunately, that also means Jet Lag for some. If you ever have gone overseas, you probably know about the feeling of jet-lag. Your body has not quite yet adjusted to the new time of your destination. You feel tired during the day and are wide awake at night depending on the direction you traveled. 


To bring your body clock back into its normal rhythm, you can try aromatherapy with three great essential oils that help with the synchronization of your body's natural pattern.

Grapefruit Essential Oil has uplifting qualities and combats depression, stress, headaches, or tiredness. It helps your body and mind detoxify which also helps with adjusting to the new time setting. 

Bergamot Essential Oil is a natural anti-depressant. It's balancing properties make it a great travel companion. With its relaxing and calming benefits, it is great for insomnia.

Geranium Essential Oil is stimulating the lymphatic system. Stagnant energy is being transported out of the body which is great while traveling and after long flights. Its floral and rosy scent is uplifting and restores vitality to body and mind. 

Mix 10 drops of grapefruit, 8 drops of bergamot, and 5 drops of geranium into 5 ml of any carrier oil (e.g. Apricot Kernel Oil, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil etc) and fill into a roll-on vile. Use on your forehead, on the base of your neck, on your wrists, or on your feet. You can also diffuse the essential oils in a travel diffuser.
