Your Clean, Green Summer Aromatherapy Kit
As June arrives and the days sretch out to their longest, the summer holiday season officially kicks into gear. Whether you are navigating busy airport securty queues, heading off for a weekend at a UK festival, or packing a campervan for a coastal road trip, travel completely changes our daily rhythms.
While your packing checklist likely starts with swimwear and SPF, our everyday wellness routines often get left behind. Travel brings unique disruptors: flight jitters, motion sickness on winding roads, out-of-sync sleep patterns in strange beds, and the inevitable return of summer midges.
The secret to staying balanced on the move without weighing down your luggage? A streamlined, plant-based wellness kit. By focusing on multi-purpose, pre-diluted botanical tools, you can manage travel stress naturally.
1. Calming the Journey
Getting to your destination is half the adventure, but stifling train carriges, traffic delays or turbulance can trigger unwanted tension and motion sickness. Instead of relying on overpowering airport sprays, targeting specific pulse points with grounding essential oils signals your nervous system to downshift. Applying oils to areas such as the inner wrists, temples, or behind the ears puts the plant extracts right next to major pulse paths and the vagus nerve, helping to induce rapid calm.
For Travel Nerves: SOiL De-Stress Remedy Roller
Why it belongs in your kit: This pocket-sized bottle blends grounding Cedarwood and Cypress with the brighter, uplifting notes of Grapefruit and Clary Sage. It is pre-diluted in organic jojoba oil, making it completely safe to apply straight to your skin mid-flight or mid-adventure. This Remedy Roller is fomrulated to release deep-seated tension and negative feelings while promoting a grounded and harmonised state of wellbeing.
2. The Destination Essentials
Changing environments, lighter June evenings and different time zones often lead to restless tossing and turning. At the same time, increased exposure to summer sun and sea breezes can leave your skin feeling stripped of moisture.
For New Surroundings & Jet Lag: SOiL Sleep Remedy Roller
Why it belongs in your kit: A deeply sedative blend of Lavender, Bergamot, Sweet Marjoram, and Vetiver. Vetiver is an incredibly earthy, heavy root oil that acts as a natural anchor for an overstimulated mind. Roll it onto the soles of your feet and the back of your neck right before turning out the lights.
For After-Sun Skin Hydration: SOiL Organic Baobab Carrier Oil
Why it belongs in your kit: Your travel kit needs a heavy-hitting multitasker. Pure, cold-pressed Baobab oil is packed with vitamins A, D, E, and F, which are exceptional for soothing parched, sun-exposed skin, taming frizzy hair after a swim, or acting as a nourishing night serum while away.
3. The Outdoor Essentials
If your June plans involve pub beer gardens at dusk or sitting by a lake, you already know that midges are part of the package. You don’t need to resort to harsh, chemical-heavy repellents to keep them at bay.
To Prevent Bites: SOiL Bug Away Remedy Roller
Why it belongs in your kit: It uses a 100% organic shield of Citronella, Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Clove Bud. It turns the traditional, harsh insect-repelling scent into something cleanly botanical and crisp.
To Soothe Bites: SOiL Relief Remedy Roller
Why it belongs in your kit: If a few pests manage to break through, this blend utilises Tea Tree and Lavender to instantly cool the skin, take the sting out of the bite, and reduce itchiness and swelling.
Before you zip up your suitcase or backpack this month, take inventory of your wellness essentials. You don’t need a bulky case of fragile bottles; a few targeted, organic roll-ons will keep you grounded, protected, and rested wherever your summer journey leads.
Safe travels!
Please note that All SOiL essential oils are intended for external use only. Unless otherwise advised by a medical practitioner. Do not use undiluted on skin. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If sensitivity occurs discontinue use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications or under medical supervision seek professional advice before use. Please keep out of reach of children.
SOiL advocates the responsible use of essential oils. We grow and source the finest quality essential oils from around the world to supply you with pure, potent plant extracts for aromatic and therapeutic applications. Essential oils are many times stronger than the plants they are derived from and are far more concentrated than the herbal tincture extracted from the same plant.
Accordingly, we recommend that you avoid oral use/ingesting pure essential oils without seeking professional advice beforehand. The issue is not the quality of the essential oils you take orally – there is no such thing as a ‘therapeutic grade’ of essential oil nor is one brand of essential oils safe to ingest over another brand. The issue is safety and even though essential oils are 100% natural, plant-derived extracts, they are botanical medicines which have the potential to cause harmful side effects when taken orally. Essential oils should only be prescribed for oral use in a clinical setting, by a suitably qualified practitioner.
There are many methods of obtaining the aromatic and therapeutic benefits of essential oils, namely; inhalation, massage, skincare preparations, bath and compress. If you require individual advice on oral use/ingestion or in relation to a specific medical condition, we recommend you consult a qualified practitioner, as described above.
