Traveling with Oils

Do you have travel plans coming up? You can definitely carry on your essential oils, so save this post! ✈
⠀
A couple years ago after the Annual Global doTERRA Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah I had a ton of essential oils in my carry on bag. The normal amount I travel with – don’t leave home without them – plus the new ones just released. So WAY more than the average person!⠀
⠀
And although all of our 5mL, 15mL oils and 10mL rollers fall under the max size for carry on liquids, I had filled an entire oil bag plus a roller case of oils for the flight home. Because there was no way I was going to put my brand new Rose Touch & Jasmine Touch rollers in my check bag! ⠀
⠀
So there I was, sending a small fortune through the scanners when TSA stopped me. ⠀
⠀
“Miss, we’re going to have to swab these, that’s an awful lot of liquids.” ⠀
⠀
Crap. I was internally freaking out thinking my Rose & Jasmine oils, plus my Frankincense & Helichrysum oils would be tossed in the trash! But my instincts kicked in and I spoke up. ⠀
⠀
“Sir, this is my medicine,” I said to the TSA agent. He stopped and turned his head to look at me. ⠀
⠀
“You just said the magic word,” he replied with a smile. Relief flushed over me as he handed me back ALL my oils. Talk about a close call!⠀
⠀
And it’s true! I saw a tweet from TSA about this exact subject after I got home…

So speak up! Tell them these oils are your medicine and you need them with you in your carry on.⠀
