As someone who cares about their health, you’ve likely heard a lot about the benefits of natural health remedies. But with so many different solutions to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide where to begin. The question many people ask themselves is: do I need to be fully invested in natural health, or is it enough to make a few small changes to reap the benefits?
The truth is, natural health can mean different things to different people. You may find that incorporating essential oils into your daily routine or using natural cleaning products is enough to improve your overall well-being. For others, natural health may mean a complete overhaul of their diet, quitting smoking, increasing physical activity, or even incorporating acupuncture into their routine.
The important thing to remember is that every small step towards natural health is a positive change. You don't need to be an expert in essential oils or completely cut out processed foods to enjoy the benefits of a natural lifestyle. Instead, think of it as a journey where you gradually introduce healthier habits into your daily routine.
Small changes like using natural deodorant or drinking more water can add up to significant improvements in your overall health. Plus, by making small changes consistently over time, you’re more likely to stick with them than if you tried to make a dramatic overhaul all at once.
It's important to remember, however, that there are certain health issues that may require a more drastic lifestyle change. If you’re dealing with a chronic illness or disease, it’s always recommended that you speak to your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
Natural health is not an all-or-nothing commitment. It’s a journey where you can make small changes over time to improve your overall well-being. The most important thing is to find what works best for you and stick with it. Your body will thank you!

Flying with essential oils can be a great way to ease your nerves and feel more relaxed while traveling. However, there are certain guidelines and regulations to follow when it comes to bringing essential oils on a plane.First and foremost, it is important to only bring Young Living essential oils on the plane. Other essential oil brands may not meet the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidelines and could be confiscated. Some companies are flammable because of the additives they use so knowing your oils is important!
When bringing essential oils on a plane, it is important to pack them in a clear, quart-sized bag with other liquids and gels that comply with the TSA's 3-1-1 rule. Each container of essential oil must be 3.4 ounces or less, and the total amount of liquids in the bag cannot exceed one quart. You can only have 1 quart sized bag per traveler.
To prevent spills and leaks, make sure all essential oil bottle caps are tightly closed and place them in a plastic baggie. You may opt to store the plastic baggie in a leak-proof essential oil carrying case for added protection. I also throw a paper towel in the ziplock bag as an extra precaution in case a few drops do leak out.
When going through security, you will need to remove the plastic baggie with your essential oils and place it in a bin to go through the X-ray machine. If TSA officers need to inspect the liquids, they will do so. Some people have concerns that sending essential oils through an x-ray scanner will change the frequency or potency. I have never noticed a change in aroma or effectiveness and there is no documented information on it. It is totally safe to send them through the machine with your other items.
Remember that strong scents could be bothersome to other passengers and while we love the oils and know their benefits, not everyone enjoys them like we do. Be considerate by applying essential oils discreetly and using lower concentrations. If it’s a strong or “stinky” oil, consider applying it to your foot before putting on your shoes. This is also great a great way to use oil if you are nervous about flying and need some additional support for your anxious nerves. It is best to apply your oils before getting on the plane and keeping them in your bag while seated.
Traveling with essential oils can be a great way to make your flying experience more enjoyable and relaxing. Just make sure to follow the guidelines set by the TSA to ensure a seamless and stress-free travel experience.
If you have any questions, shoot me a message or call the airlines directly! Happy flying!!!
