This essential oil is most commonly known for calming spots. Tea Tree oil is also good to soothe insect bites and its aroma acts as a mild insect repellent.

Simply pack a ready-to-use tea-tree product such as the Tisserand Tea-Tree Roller Ball in your bag, to have to hand throughout your trip.

Healthy Snacks – Dates, Nuts & Seeds
Dates provide you with a highly portable energy boost, along with some insoluble fibre to keep things on an even keel.
A small handful of nuts give sustainable energy to fill the gap and contain minerals for general wellbeing. The best ones are Almonds, Walnuts or Pistachios.
Seeds will help to keep your digestion happy if you are a little congested – just remember to drink plenty of water!
Combine all these things, and you can either make your own snack bites or just buy some off the shelf. Remember to keep your energy levels up by snacking little and often. This will assist in a more smooth transition for your body.
