The information on this page is not intended to be used as medical advice. If you have any kind of skin reaction or skin irritation, please discontinue immediately and seek the help of a medical professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"element-FAQs\">Essential Oil Travel FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take essential oils on a plane?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! As long as your essential oils fall within the TSA 3-1-1 rule (your liquids have to be less than 3.4 ounce each, they have to all fit in 1 quart-sized plastic bag, and you can only have 1 plastic bag). If you&#8217;re worried about your oils spilling, you can always bring an essential oil travel case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you use essential oils on the go?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s best to carry essential oils that have little rollers. If your oils don&#8217;t have rollers on them, you can always purchase your own travel-size rollers for easy application. This travel case comes with refillable essential oil rollers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What essential oils are good for jet lag?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lavender is a great essential oil to carry for jet lag. It can calm you quickly and help you fall asleep at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are essential oils safe for children?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, essential oils are not recommended for children under the age of 3. Their respiratory systems are still developing, and strong inhalants can cause irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even for older children, essential oils must always be diluted with a carrier oil like jojoba or almond oil before topical application. Safe dilution ratios for children are typically much lower than those for adults (around 0.5% dilution).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some essential oils are particularly strong and can be harmful to children, even when diluted. These include tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, and wintergreen oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essential oils are never safe to ingest, regardless of age. Keep them out of reach of children and supervise them closely when using diffusers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Essential oils have grown in popularity over the years, going from a simple room-freshening alternative to a nation-wide trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":8305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-wellbeing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Best Essential Oils for Travel &amp; How To Use Them<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Traveling with essential oils can make even the most stressful delays a bit easier.
