We all look forward to our summer vacations, catching up with family, jetting off to exotic locations, camping, or going on day trips. But they do involve a lot of work - planning, packing, and the process of getting from A to B. All the above can amount to stress - lost luggage, long delays, irritable children, and so it goes on...
Next week I am flying to England with my two teenagers, which consists of an internal flight, long wait at the airport and then a 9 hour flight. So yes you have guessed I will be taking along lots of Rescue Remedy (5-in-1 stress relief system - for focus, calm, composure, patience, peace) plus a remedy mix to keep us all calm, cool and collected. I will also have a tube of Rescue Cream on hand for bumps, bruises and to help with headaches. In addition I plan on avoiding caffeine and drinking lots of water.
To help us cope with the journey, and jet-lag the following remedies will be included in our mix:
Beech - to assist with intolerance - long journey, feeling uncomfortable, other travelers etc
Crab Apple - for cleansing, and having no problem using public washrooms
Impatiens - to assist with impatience - line-ups, long wait/flight etc
Mimulus - to deal with the fear of things that might go wrong
Olive - to assist with energy to get us through the journey/lack of sleep/jet-lag
Walnut - to protect us from outside influences, adjusting to change - environment/time-changes/altitude etc
Happy travels everyone!
