Summer travel ahead? Pack light and natural

June 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Surely you’ve experienced this.

You’ve been anticipating a getaway. The time has arrived. Your bags are packed and you’re ready to go. Then something happens that can ruin your trip.

You’re sneezing, eyes are itchy, and sinuses are clogged. Or your skin is on fire from a bad sunburn or close encounter with poison ivy or biting insects.

You are miserable in your dream destination.  

Few anticipate feeling lousy while on vacation or a business trip. Arming yourself is easy and you’ll be glad you are prepared. Traveling with kids? Ditto x10.

Consider natural product alternatives which will become travel necessities that will help ensure your dream vacation doesn’t become a nightmare:

•   Stop the Sniffles:  Pollen, dust, mold spores, air pollution, etc. all cause nasal irritation, making you miserable. Removing irritants that cause nasal discomfort can provide immediate relief. Dr. Neuzil’s Irrigator nasal cleansing spray is a saline-based formula with essential oils that help refresh and moisturize sinus passages. Its all-natural active ingredients provide immediate relief and the spray is much easier to use than a Neti Pot of sinus rinse. If air travel is part of your trip, remember that the dry air in-flight or visits to high altitudes can leave nasal passages parched and irritated. Swollen sinuses can cause additional discomfort due to the change in pressure during takeoff and landing.  A couple of sprays of Dr. Neuzil’s Irrigator will soothe and moisturize your nose making it easier to breath. 1 fl. oz. $9.95 http://www.IrrigatorNasalSpray.com

•   Friend for your Skin:  Botanical Skin Works' Summer Protection Lotion with 30% Zinc Oxide.  Made with certified organic ingredients all helping to shield your skin from the sun's UVA and UVB Rays.  Goes on easy and disappears into the skin without leaving you pasty!  4.5oz for 19.95. http://www.botanicalworks.com

•   Back off Bugs:  Designed with active people in mind, Nature's Shield 4 oz. spray provides hours of protection against pesky biting insects. It is a dry body spray with a woodsy aroma that keeps you protected. Its non-greasy formula is enhanced with cedar wood, tea tree and citronella essential oils. No animal has been used in the testing of this product.$8.95  http://www.naturallypamperedonline.com  

•   First Aid and More:  Forever Aloe Gelly is as close as you can get to taking a fresh aloe leaf, breaking it open and putting it on your skin.  Essentially identical to the aloe vera’s inner leaf, Aloe Vera Gelly is a thick, translucent gel 100% stabilized aloe vera gel with humectants and moisturizers. Readily absorbed by the skin, it soothes without staining clothes. It speeds up skin healing by a third. First-aid in a tube – fantastic for healing the skin, for cuts, stings, bruises, bites, abrasions, burns and even athlete’s foot. 4 fl.oz. $10.95 http://www.claudiasorrentino.myforever.biz/store
