EPISODE 050: Travel & Seasonal Support Hacks Using Essential Oils

What if essential oils weren't just at-home tools, but on-the-go support? What if staying comfortable while traveling or during sneezing season didn't have to be complicated? Well, today we're talking about essential oil hacks that help you feel fresh, supported, and ready for anything. 

Welcome to the Sparkling Life Coach Podcast.

Hey, Sparkling One! I'm your Host, Dee Diaz, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Now, before we jump in, if you missed episodes one through four of this Essential Oil Hacks mini-series, go listen to those first. It's like watching a great movie series. Unless you're watching Star Wars, you don't wanna start at Episode Four. 

Today, we are wrapping up this series with Essential Oil Hacks for Travel and Seasonal Support. These are the essential oils and simple hacks that help you feel comfortable, grounded, and supported, whether you're flying, road-tripping, or just trying to survive the 'Why am I sneezing again' part of the year.

Now, let me share with you my traveler's survival moment. Has this ever happened to you? One time, I was heading out on a trip, excited, organized, and ready to be the picture of wellness, and then halfway through the flight, I realized I forgot half my routine at home.

No headache support, no sleep support, and no digestive support. Just me and my questionable travel decisions. About halfway through the trip, I thought, oh, I really am that person who needs her essential oils in her bag. And that's exactly why these hacks exist, because nobody needs to be miserable at 30,000 feet.

So, whether you're packing a carry-on, loading up the car, or just trying to support your body through a seasonal shift, think of these as travel-friendly, real-life support. Let's start with one of the most versatile oils you can bring with you.

Hack Number One is Peppermint for Motion Support and Alertness. If you get queasy on planes, boats, cars, roller coasters, or just being a passenger with someone who drives. Uh, creatively. Yeah. Peppermint is gonna be your best friend. One drop in your palms,

you can inhale it, and it's gonna help with motion discomfort while clearing the mind. Or you can put the drop on your thumb and hold it for a few seconds to the roof of your mouth. Bonus, it's also amazing for staying alert on long drives.

Hack Number Two is Lavender for Travel, Stress, and Rest. Travel can be chaotic, right? TSA lines, rushing through airports, and time changes. A little lavender over your heart space, on your wrist, the back of your neck, or on a travel pillow is gonna help your body to soften and settle. It brings calm back online, and it supports real rest, once you finally land. 

Or use Hack Number Three, the Serenity Restful Blend. It's a sleep plus a skin hack. So, let me tell you about this one essential oil I always travel with. When suitcase space is limited, especially with a carry-on, my skincare usually stays home because TSA is very opinionated about liquids. But I never skip my Serenity Restful Blend.

It promotes restful sleep in unfamiliar beds, and it doubles as skincare. This blend contains Lavender, which is soothing and moisturizing. It has Cedarwood, which supports healthy-looking skin, and it also contains Hawaiian Sandalwood, which smooths and rejuvenates. All of that in one tiny bottle.

You can dilute it with fractionated coconut oil or mix a drop into your lotion and apply it to your face. Sleep support and skincare done.

Hack Number Four is the Digestive Support Roller. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to have travel tummy. So, grab the DigestZen Digestive Blend roller bottle. Just roll it on your belly before or after travel. It's the difference between feeling stuck and feeling free. 

Hack Number Five is Tea Tree for Germy Spaces. If you are anything like me, airports, gas stations, and public restrooms can test your faith, but Tea Tree can be your protector. One drop in the palm of your hands before touching trays, armrests, or door handles gives gentle, plant-based peace of mind. 

Hack Number Six is for a Hotel Room Fresh-Up. If you've ever walked into a hotel room that smelled, uh, lived in, yeah, Lemon essential oil, or the Purify Cleansing Blend, fixes that fast.

Just add a few drops to a cotton ball and place the cotton ball near the AC vent. Instant reset, instant freshness.

Hack Number Seven is the Travel Spa Shower. For a little luxury on the road, place a drop of Eucalyptus or Peppermint essential oil on a washcloth that you've placed on the shower floor before turning on the hot water. As the steam rises, the aroma is gonna fill the room. Suddenly, you have a hotel bathroom spa, even if the towels are a little crunchy.

And while all of these travel hacks are incredible for being on the move, there's another time our bodies need extra support. And that's during seasonal shifts. Because even when we're not packing a suitcase, our environment is still changing. The air feels different, our routines shift, and our bodies notice.

So, let's talk about the essential oil hacks that support you through those in-between seasons when sneezing shows up uninvited, energy dips, or your body just feels a little off. These are simple, supportive ways to help your body adjust gently and naturally.

So, let's continue with Hack Number Eight. Breathe Easy for Seasonal Shifts.

When seasons change, our bodies have opinions. Just diffuse, Breathe Respiratory Blend, or apply a drop to your chest to support clear and easy breathing. This is especially helpful during cooler months or stuffy days. 

Hack Number Nine is Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint Essential Oil for Sniffles. This combo supports those, 'My nose is not cooperating today' moments. You can diffuse it, inhale it from your hands, or add it to a roller for on-the-go support. Or as a bonus, you can just make sure you have some TriEase Seasonal Blend Softgels. Just one softgel will get those sniffles under control.

Hack Number Ten is Tea Tree for High Exposure Seasons. Anytime you're around more people, whether it's traveling, going back to school, or during holidays, Tea Tree essential oil offers immune support. A drop on the bottoms of your feet before bed works beautifully.

Or you can use the OnGuard Protective Blend essential oil or the Softgels to help support your immune system. 

Hack Number Eleven is Frankincense for Seasonal Mood Shifts.

You know, shorter days can affect our mood more than we realize. Frankincense essential oil over your heart, the back of your neck, or in the diffuser supports grounding and clarity. I also like mixing it with Copaiba essential oil to give it a boost. Other supportive oils for mood shifts include the Balance Grounding Blend, Bergamot essential oil, Roman Chamomile, or Cedarwood essential oil.

Here's the truth. Certified Pure Tested Grade essential oils do so much more than just smell good. They support emotional and physical wellness, and they offer health-conscious alternatives to many toxic solutions people are trying to replace.

So, whether you're traveling across the world or navigating a busy season of life, these tiny practices can make everything feel easier. A calmer mind, better rest, clearer breathing, more confidence. And that adds up to a smoother, more sparkly life.
