How to Use Essential Oils: Jet Lag

Jet lag occurs when your body’s internal clock is disrupted due to rapid changes in daylight and nighttime while traveling across time zones. To help your body adjust, use invigorating essential oils like peppermint and eucalyptus in the morning to promote alertness. At night, calming oils such as lavender and geranium can encourage relaxation and restful sleep. This approach helps ease the transition between different time zones.

To apply, mix 2-3 drops of your chosen essential oil with 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil. Massage this blend onto your back, legs, shoulders, and feet to experience its benefits. This practice can be especially helpful during long flights or upon arrival in a new destination, making your journey more comfortable and rejuvenating.
