Long distance travel

[Maria Banana]

Hi there

I wondered if anyone had used eo's in a roller bottle for use when travelling? my MIL has asked me to make her something to relax her for going to Australia and I thought of making one up that she could apply to pulse points. Any relevent advice or info on this matter? She's also asked for a massage the night before (or possibly morning) both for herself and a 13 year old. I feel a bit cautious about this because of the long flights (DVT etc), am I being too careful here and should refrain from massaging, any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
Tracey

Massage before a long flight is sensible and worthwhile and unless there is a history of DVT then why should there be a problem? If a DVT were to occur after the flight it would have nothing to do with the massage that preceded it.

You would only avoid massage to the contraindicated area of DVT anyway.

Lavender would be a good choice for a long haul flight but there are other blends you could use. Depends what you want to achieve, ie relaxation or stimulation.
