Traveling can take a toll on the body and mind, from disrupted routines to jet lag and stress. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of holistic health, offers solutions to maintain balance and vitality while on the go. Try packing a travel-sized bottle of these health solutions to stay well no matter where you are, and consult an ayurvedic practitioner for more information.

Sleep Support: Jet lag, irregular sleep, and stress are common challenges for travelers. Try using herbs that are known to support immunity such as ginger, turmeric, gotu kola and holy basil to help the body adapt to new environments and regulate sleep patterns.

Oral Hygiene: Oral health is essential for overall wellness. Oil pulling, with oil intended for this purpose, is an effective ayurvedic practice that promotes oral hygiene, supports detoxification and freshens breath.

Moisturize: Daily self-massage is a key ayurvedic practice to ease stress and promote circulation, ensuring travelers feel calm and centered even during hectic schedules. Find a revitalizing massage oil supports relaxation and balance with herbs such as lavender and lemon verbena.

Digestion and Gut Health: Maintaining digestive health while traveling is crucial. Consider using triphala, a renowned ayurvedic formula that supports gut health and a balanced microbiome to help manage digestive disruptions brought on by travel.
