Essential oils at DL

[Skimassey]

I have been using essential oils as much as possible to deal with my family's ailments. We have a trip coming up in Nov. and this will be our first trip with the oils. I'm trying to figure out which ones I should take, and thought I'd check here to see if there was anyone else who has also traveled to DL with oils. This is what I'm thinking:

Thieves hand sanitizer for park and plane
Peppermint-tummy aches, headaches
Purification-to put on cotton balls in hotel AC unit
Thieves- to alternate with Purification in AC unit
Lavender-to diffuse at night since I don't sleep well in hotels
Lemon?-to add to water
Pain cream made from EOs-for sore feet at the end of the day

Any other recommendations?

We use rose and geranium oils for skin care and general calming (mixed in jojoba oil). Geranium oil also helps keep the bugs away (not that there is a bug problem at DLR). Also, Bach's Rescue Remedy for general stress (e.g. long lines, oncoming headaches, too much noise, etc.). And lots of arnica gel for/to prevent sore legs and feet and for stiff muscles. We always have tea tree oil in our kit for general first aid.

ETA: We also use oregano oil and eucalytpus oil to ward off colds when we visit in winter.

If you will be bringing oils into the parks, be careful not to use glass bottles or containers, which will be confiscated at bag check.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Also, thank you for the info about glass bottles. I had planned on taking a couple with me to the park, but I certainly don't want to have them taken away!

I am going to just take the samples in the little packages they come in from Young Living. I may find some small plastic containers for specific ones just for the time we are there next spring.
