Camping for a week by the lake is a tradition for our family each summer.
1. Lavender
Lavender oil is something I always take with me when we go camping. It is antimicrobial and antiseptic, while promoting healing.
On our last camping trip I used lavender for a bee sting, a very bad sunburn on one of the kids and I diffused it at night in the camper for a good restful night of sleep.
. Alleviating blisters
2. Peppermint Spray
This year I filled a 16 oz. spray bottle and put 20 drops of peppermint and 20 drops of purification oil in and filled it with water. Every morning and evening I sprayed the tent screens that we used as a kitchen and it was the first year that we were not bothered by ants and gnats. Yes, we had a few but I immediately sprayed all around the tent, screens and ceiling and it worked so good!
Feeling Nauseous or ate too many smores right before bed?
Put 3 drops of peppermint oil onto a wash cloth. Hold it under your nose and breathe slowly and deeply for 1-3 minutes or apply a drop or two on your belly.
3. Tea Tree Oil
It's a powerful anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antimicrobial essential oil to add to your camping first-aid kit.
Here are the many ways you can use whether you’re out camping or spending time in your backyard:
- Excellent disinfectant for cuts, scrapes, and bruises
- Soothing sunburn
- Repelling mosquito bites
- Soothing bug bites
- Relieving a stuffy nose
It’s easy to forget about washing my face before bed each night while camping… simply because I’m not in my normal routine. But to make it easy and quick I use these to wash my face. They smell not only super amazing but they do a super job in making your face sparkly clean. I’m all for quick and easy!
- Remove makeup in a pinch.
- Moisten eyeliner/eyeshadow and brush for smooth application.
- Touch up eye makeup mistakes.
- Wipe messy hands and face.
- Easy travel cleanup.
- Calm fussy baby.
- Mid-day hygiene freshener (especially in summer)
- Quick shoe clean up.
6. Thieves Fruit And Veggie Spray
Since I’m not a fan of eating dirty fruit and vegetables full of grime and chemical sprayed on them, this is a must have to keep all my fruits and veggies clean as a whistle.
7. To prevent car sickness and upset stomachs while traveling...
- Ginger - Ginger can soothe an upset stomach.
- Orange - This oil can keep your little ones calm and happy while traveling. The scent is quite lovely and one that everyone will enjoy.
- Digize - Apply one or 2 drops on your belly if it's just not feeling quite right. You can also put a drop in a capsule and swallow it or ... add a drop in a glass of water or juice.( Note, only use Young Living Vitality Brand when ingesting oils.)
