by Angela V When traveling, it is prudent to pack a wellness survival kit with some essentials to stay healthy and happy. Long, exhausting travel days, sitting on germy airplanes or trains for hours and jet lag can certainly do a number on your overall wellness. Add to that eating new, unfamiliar foods, and you may end up feeling ill.
Feeling sick while on vacation can dampen your spirits and cast a cloud over your family holiday. I always take some essentials with me to ensure I am ready for our next adventure. Below I am sharing some of the items I pack and take with me when every time we go on vacation. We travel a lot, and my wellness kit’s size has increased with every experience. I like being prepared!
1. Saje’s Travel Safe Kit: This kit contains Restoral Ointment for skin irritations, Arrive Revived Remedy and Mist to fight Jet Lag and uplift the mind, Safe Hands Lotion to sanitize and clean hands (so needed when you are on planes and public spaces!) and finally Eater’s Digest Remedy for upset stomachs. I find this kit super convenient because I can carry it in my purse and it has everything I need for on the go.
2. Jamieson Melatonin: I take melatonin to help with jet-lag, and I swear by it. It can help you adjust to the time change. I usually take it the first few nights of our trip and then again once we get home for the first couple of nights. Like anything, always consult a health care practitioner before use.
3. Jamieson Probiotics: Probiotics help balance intestinal microflora, and they are used for overall digestive and immune health. I usually start taking probiotics up to two weeks before we leave for our trip and continue to take them while I am away. I am very sensitive when it comes to new foods, and I have noticed a positive difference when I take probiotics while I am away.
4. Saje’s Pocket Farmacy: This is another one of my favourites for travel. The little kit fits in the back pocket of your jeans, and it contains my favourite and most used essential oil blend rollers, including Peppermint Halo for headaches, Immune, Eater’s Digest, Stress Release and Pain Release. All super important to have handy when you are traveling.

Great travel essentials, for me the most important is health insurance if I’m travelling out of the province. So many don’t bother but it really is essential, I fell down some concrete steps whilst in Australia and was knocked out. An ambulance ride to the hospital, an MRI, Xrays, stitches and a few follow ups there and to the local Dr every 3 days for a fortnight due to an infection in my wounds. Antibiotics three times. I hate to think what it would have cost without insurance.
Great info thanks for sharing , i have never traveled very far before , and its been a long time since i flew anywhere , this information will come in handy thanks for sharing !
Some neat stuff to bring along that would come in handy, thanks.
Thanks for the great information about these products.I have to check some of them out.The Sajes pocket Farmacy sounds interesting and so glad I found this post.Thank you.
I can vouch for Melatonin, it works!
Thanks for the list. I do take probiotics with me and find them helpful.
Those are all great wellness items to have when travelling. Great idea.
Thanks you,this is a great list of tips !
Awesome tips. Always good to be prepared.
These are some great tips and ideas of things to pack!
This is such a great list of tips and products especially Saje’s products because I’ve never heard of them before
I wish I had read this in March! What a dummy I am, I passed over it thinking it meant to go to a wellness retreat – goes to show how stupid it is to skim and not really read the titles. I’m kicking my butt because I would have loved to have had Saje’s Travel Safe Kit when we went to China. Oh well, bookmarked now. Thanks!
Helpful list for when we travel next! 🙂 the need for wellness doesn’t stop when we are traveling.
I cannot deal with jet-lag too so melatonin is a big must-have for me! The Saje’s Pocket Farmacy sounds pretty amazing too! It sounds like it would be beneficial for me and my husband especially for longer trips!
I’ve always traveled with my own medicine and first aid kit.
Great travel essential check list. I have tried Melatonin and find it really beneficial as well.
Thank you for the list, I do some traveling — not as much as I would like too. I have never taken any wellness items beside my meds and some hand sanitizer.
Great ideas here. Will have to bring some of these along next time we travel.
Great tips! Meletatonin and probiotics – I use all the time at home – never thought to bring them with me on a trip! Great advice
