Flying High

Defend! Throat Spray
Don't you just love hearing a hacking cough a couple of rows away while being trapped in a vessel with recycled air? Yeah, us either. It's no wonder people get sick after air travel. Defend! Throat Spray can help protect you from those terrible, infectious people that dare to travel on the same plane. 

Ravintsara Essential Oil
Ravintsara is our go-to for respiratory, lymphatic and immune health—we use a drop or two on our mask or scarf when we fly, and in the shower, once we arrive for an aromatherapy steam.  We have found it to be particularly helpful when the air quality in an unfamiliar room is poor, due to ventilation or potential mold. Essential oils can also be diffused in the car for road trips!

In The Moment
Travel anxiety anyone? Skullcap, Blue Vervain, Lavender and Kava help to take the edge off daily stress and anxiety, and help create a sense of embodied relaxation.  Full of fast-acting nervines (herbs traditionally used to support the nervous system), In the Moment is our top-selling anxiety and stress support blend. 

Cleanwell Hand Sanitizer
Share the love, not the germs. Smells like an orange grove, cleans like nobody's business. Our hand sanitizers get all botanical on grime and germs for the most satisfying clean — wherever you are. And don't even think about reaching for the hand lotion after you spray, our formula moisturizes your skin with aloe.

Water Bye Bye
Have you ever landed, after 5 or more hours on a plane, and not been able to get your swollen feet into your shoes, or your rings off of your fingers? Not fun! The pressurized cabin isn't always the exact pressure we are used to on land. But do not fear! Water Bye Bye, a custom tincture from Lily (available in-store or by phone order) will greatly help you move that fluid and get your body back to normal so that you can enjoy yourself in your new environment.

The Long & Winding Road

Chewable Ginger

If you get motion sickness this is a must have! Plus… ginger! Yum 😋🚘

Quiet Digestion

We all know to check the water safety in areas we are traveling to, but sometimes we may get a salad washed in unsafe water or an ice cube in a drink and then... ouch!  This classic blend of Chinese herbs has traditionally been used for food poisoning, bad water exposure, nausea, diarrhea, stomach rumbling, and belching.  Aromatic herbs aid digestion and protect against gut misery. Can be taken prophylactically or alongside unfamiliar/suspicious foods.

Foreign Lands

Tension Meltaway - with Amethyst Sphere
It's like a spa and massage therapist in a bottle. When the stress of travel reaches a peak, it's so nice to reach into your bag and apply this aromatherapy, take a deep breath, and bring ourselves back into the moment. 

Mellow Lax
Constipation is one of the most common travel complaints we hear about, and can seriously hinder your quality of life. Mellow Lax offers gentle overnight support for easy elimination.

Intolerance Complex
Because we can't always control our meal options when traveling. This highly specialized enzyme assists in the digestion of gluten, dairy and other common food allergens. While it’s not total license to eat foods that don't work for you, it is wonderful to have something when you know you're going to enjoy foods that you don't normally eat.  Also great for sensitive folks who are concerned about exposures in restaurants and dinner parties.

EPS 5-Billion
That's right, you can support your flora and protect your gut while you travel! Because you know what's not fun? A yeast infection. Traveling or not!

Ortho Biotic
High-potency multi-strain probiotic that adds Saccharomyces boulaardii, a beneficial yeast that doesn't get killed by antibiotics, and aids the body in protecting against Candida and C. diff.  

Quiet Digestion
We all know to check the water safety in areas we are traveling to, but sometimes we may get a salad washed in unsafe water or an ice cube in a drink and then... ouch!  This classic blend of Chinese herbs has traditionally been used for food poisoning, bad water exposure, nausea, diarrhea, stomach rumbling, and belching.  Aromatic herbs aid digestion and protect against gut misery. Can be taken prophylactically or alongside unfamiliar/suspicious foods.

Activated Charcoal
Oh Rosé, how we love you... but for most of us, rosé o'clock isn't every day at 4 pm... except maybe when we are living the life of leisure on the Amalfi Coast  🏖 In addition to being great for iffy food and water encountered while traveling or camping, Charcoal is also a great hangover cure—if you've overindulged in alcohol or food, take 2 caps before bed along with tons of water.  And, charcoal caps can be opened and mixed with water for topical use on angry cuts, scrapes and bug bites. Win win win.

Sleeping In Strange Beds

Chewable PharmaGABA
Sleeeeeeeeeeep. It's a must if you are going to wake up refreshed and able to tackle the day in your new timezone. Great for pre-travel anxiety and sleep disruption, long plane rides, and trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places or new time zones.

PharmaGABA
GABA  is our own body's main quieting neurotransmitter.  PharmaGABA is a non-synthetic, bio-identical form of GABA that supports daytime calm, as well as restful sleep.  Great for pre-travel anxiety and sleep disruption, long plane rides, and trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places or new time zones.

Herbatonin
Finally a 100% plant-based, bio-identical melatonin!  Help your system get on board with new time zone and reset your bio-rhythms when you return home with this clean, easy-to-process melatonin extracted from the plant Oryza sativa. Many of our customers report a much better response to Herbatonin than synthetic melatonin. Available in-store only.

Sleep Now
You've taken your Gaba and your Herbatonin, and yet you still wake up in the middle of the night. Sleep Now can help you fall back to sleep without making you feel groggy in the morning. Our formula has herbs traditionally used to support sleep and relaxation such as California Poppy, Passionflower and Hops.  This rapidly absorbed formula offers fast-acting support and is not habit-forming. Can be taken before bed and upon nighttime wakings.
