With summer road trips in the works, traveling to the beach that's an hour away or visiting friends, motion sickness seems to always hit myself and my toddler. For me, I have horrible motion sickness and have had it my entire life so it's not only the car that can cause an upset stomach or that awful nausea feeling, but boating or even swinging on swings! My toddler sometimes feels the same if we're in the car for long periods of time which can put a damper on those summer road trips we have coming up. For years I've tried several things to help my motion sickness. I usually have to take the passenger seat in the front or if I need to be in the back, I need to have a window seat. Cool air also seems to help me when that awful feeling coming on. Other times if I'm traveling the plane, I need to grab a stick of gum to chew to make sure my ears don't pop and just taste the sweet peppermint.
Speaking of peppermint, I've had so many friends and neighbors who have shared how much they enjoy using Nature's Truth Essential Oils with these various scenes. My friends have told me for years how they love the aromatherapy which is bringing unique scenes of these oils and our senses to help benefit your body, mind and spirit. The oils are extracted from a plan like leaves, flowers or herbs to capture the 'essence' of the plant itself. That particular scent is not only soothing but just helps you with your unique needs and desires. For me, and my awful motion sickness, peppermint has always been something that I've used to help me, but never in an oil base. These oils also can be used in various DIY projects like massages, soaps or my favorite, in a mini diffuser to help you. 
Nature's Truth Peppermint Oil smells like a candy cane and which immediately lifts my mood and spirit upon smelling. It's tantalizing and refreshing. I love the strong cool and minty fragrance that it gives off which helps me feel vibrant and revitalized. What's better, is that when my stomach starts to feel queasy in the car, this miracle worker helps cure my motion sickness in about 10 seconds! Here's how I help myself when I start to feel yucky.1. Grab your Nature's Truth Peppermint Oil and unscrew it.
2. Dab a few drops of it in a Kleenex and lightly sniff it. 3. Within seconds your nausea slowly should subside because of the smell.
I also put a few drops on a Kleenex for my daughter to use as well if she starts to feel sick. Immediately, she's smiling again and giggling in the backseat. A happy toddler is a happy family!
Another favorite oil that helps with my motion sickness is Nature's Truth Happiness Oil. It's instantly fruity and also refreshing like the peppermint oil. The blend is almost like having pure joy right inside of a tiny bottle. The aroma, although pretty strong is one that is sweet smelling, almost like you're walking into a tropical paradise. This scent also helps me when I need a few minutes of alone time to mediate. The aroma instantly brings me to my own oasis and I essentially feel the happiness that this bottle brings in a few quick seconds.
I found these oils at my local Walgreens in the vitamin aisle, which was perfect since I needed to get a few things for future road trips! If you're wanting to try these little miracle works yourself, make sure to grab a coupon to save $1 . There are so many other scents and I'll be going back to get a few more such as the Almond Base oil, Energy Roll on ( perfect for your purse ) and the lemon scent! Having these oils nearby will help within seconds and don't we wall want to feel relief that fast? How do you help prevent motion sickness?Do you use Essential Oils?Which are your favorite?
