Are you ready for summer vacation? After over a year of travel restrictions and not being able to see friends and family as much as we’d like – or at all – many of us can’t wait to hit the road!
But before you grab your overnight bag and a toothbrush and head out, take a few minutes to put together an all-natural Vacation First Aid Kit. Whether you’ve got an exotic overseas adventure planned, or are simply taking a road trip to see your sister and her kids, changes in your routine, the foods you eat, and climate can all negatively affect your health.
Never fear! We’ve listed some of the most common vacation complaints below, along with healthful, all-natural remedies that will have you back to feeling your best in no time.
The Problem: Overindulgence
The Solution: Acid Neutralizer Lozenges
Whether you ate one too many slices of Aunt Betty’s famous lemon meringue pie or took full advantage of the all-you-can-eat buffet on the cruise ship, you can soothe that acid indigestion with our Acid Neutralizer. Take just two of these lozenges, packed with essential vitamins, to get natural stomach relief. Now, back to the conga line forming on the Lido Deck!
The Problem: Vacation Constipation
The Solution: JLB Capsules
“Vacation constipation” is a real thing! Experts say it’s not uncommon to experience a “backup” when you’re on vacation — a change in routine, the stress of traveling, not being in your normal surroundings, eating different types of foods, and having limited access to bathrooms and even water can all cause constipation.
To make things flow more — er — smoothly, be sure to drink plenty of water, try to get good sleep, avoid eating a lot of fatty foods, and eat fresh fruits and veggies as much as possible. Keep JLB Colon Support on hand, which combine natural herbs, systemic enzymes, and trace minerals that offer colon support and protection, as well as colon conditioning. You’ll be back on your feet to explore that quaint little bazaar before you know it!
The Problem: General tiredness and/or allergic reactions or fungal infections
The Solution: Tea Tree Essential Oil
If you’re suffering from jet lag or didn’t get a good night’s sleep in your BFF’s guest room (does she use a board instead of a mattress??) try applying Tea Tree Oil to your temples and wrists for an instant pick-me-up. (Be sure to mix with a carrier, such as almond oil or an all-natural unscented lotion; never apply any essential oil directly to the skin.)
You can also use Tea Tree oil to treat allergic reactions to insect bites, or fungal infections like athletes foot — it has antiseptic, as well as possible antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. We like to carry a vial in our purse or pocket at all times, because you never know what kinds of bugs you’ll meet on that African Safari — or the neighborhood 4th of July party!
The Problem: Your Child
The Solution: Kidz Zymes Chewables
Ok, we’re completely kidding about your child being the problem. (But if you’re a parent, we know you laughed.) Our kids are our world, but when they do things like sneak half the carton of ice cream from the freezer or come back from Grandma’s having eaten nothing but fast food and her homemade brownies for a week, things can get a little frustrating.
Help their tummies feel better faster with Kidz Zymes. These all-natural, berry flavored chewables contain 10 strains of enzymes to help digest food. Be sure to buy an extra jar to keep at Grandma’s!
The Problem: Everything
The Solution: Miracle II Neutralizer Gel
Miracle II is the most complex mixture of natural minerals and organics that have ever been blended together. This amazing formula helps detoxify, tightens the skin, and helps soothe insect bites and burns.
So, whether you’re experiencing upset stomach from eating rich foods, have been exposed to pollutants from airplanes or vehicles, have skin breakouts from the stress of travel, or have been eaten alive by an army of bugs while exploring the great outdoors, Miracle II can help relieve it all!
