Travel and Pure Water - Why I Always Pack Lemon Essential Oil!

When we are at home, we pretty much take our water for granted. But when we travel, water is sometimes a concern. Will it be available when we want it? Will we trust the quality? Dare we drink from the tap? Some people pack a portable water purifier and some people pack lemon essential oil.

Size
With the current restrictions on luggage -- weight, size, number of pieces -- I opt for a bottle of lemon oil that takes up less than two cubic inches of packing space. Once at your destination, it can easily be put in a pocket, purse, or handbag.

Long Lasting
A 15 millimeter bottle of lemon oil typically contains around 280 to 300 drops. If you use one drop for each glass of water, that's a lot of water you're purifying. Sometimes, more than one drop will come out, and some people prefer 2-3 drops per use. In this manner, you can control how long the bottle lasts.

Taste
If you like the refreshing taste of lemon, you're in luck!

Does More than Just Taste GreatTherapeutic grade lemon essential oil contains antimicrobial and antibacterial compounds that lesser qualities or adulterated lemon oils do not. Look for bottles that (a) give the complete botanical name on the label, (b) are labeled as 100% pure therapeutic grade, and (c) are labeled as an essential oil supplement.

What else does a therapeutic grade of lemon oil do?
It contains compounds with antiseptic and relaxation properties, as well as compounds that enhance the immune system, memory, and clarity of thought. Do you see the value for business travelers?

Versatility
It can be added to plain water, tea, health drinks, and more. For business travelers who want the mental benefits from the compounds in lemon oil, it can also be inhaled directly from the bottle or from your hands.

Whether you're in a restaurant, in your hotel room, or out and about, travel is more fun when you don't have concerns about your drinking water.
