2007 Archives: Herban Essentials, Organic Anxiety Antidotes
We’ve all been there. Your palms start to sweat. Your blood pressure goes up. You stare straight ahead so you don’t catch a glimpse of what’s outside the window. Whether it hits you on an AirBus or a puddle jumper, flight anxiety just plain sucks. And an antidote can make the difference between a few hours of hell and a few hours of vaguely pleasant time spent trying to decide whether your dog really needs an elevated water dispenser (he doesn’t) or your man wants a personal submarine (he does).
While in the past we’ve tended towards the pharmaceutical-variety antidote, this Fear of Flying Kit by Herban Essentials makes us want to book the next flight to Hawaii—or maybe that’s just because we’ve got a slick new organic cotton bikini to show off.
The Kit contains organic oils: Rescue Remedy (a drop on your tongue is legendary for relieving stress and anxiety), Valerian (a natural sedative that relaxes without making you feel drugged), Lavender Essential Oil (great for stress-induced conditions like tension headaches), Clary Sage Essential Oil (an antiseptic that eliminates odor and bacteria) and Lemon Essential Oil Towlettes (color us germ-phobic, but we whip these babies out wherever we go, especially when opening bathroom doors). Packs up nice and pretty (and X-rayable) in a recyclable carrying case. With all these good things to play with, who’s got time to get scared? Not you.
