The Most Popular Herbs for Holiday Travel

Posted by TriLight Health on Dec 5th 2019

The holiday travel season is upon us.  No matter how careful we are, this is the time of year when we often end up sick.  Germs spread rampant on airplanes, trains, and buses.  Everyone spending time cozy together as a family not only results in sharing stories but also sharing illness.  Nobody wants their holiday ruined by illness. Herbs are excellent for boosting and supporting a healthy immune system.  When sickness strikes, herbs may help you get back to enjoying the holiday festivities sooner.  

The Top Herbs for Holiday Travel

Herbs are excellent to have on hand during the holiday travel season.  Packed in your travel kit, you'll be prepared for anything that comes your way.  Many of these herbs are found in multiple products and work synergistically together.  Don't forget our 2-oz bottles are TSA-approved and are the perfect amount for a short trip.  Or have an 8-oz bottle sent to Grandma's ahead of time so you'll have it when you arrive. 

  • Elderberry- One of the most popular immune-supporting herbs.  It is a favorite to use for immune building before sickness and as a first line of defense when illness strikes. 
  • Ginger- While most commonly known as a digestive herb, ginger has many other benefits this time of year.  It's a warming herb, making it the perfect herb for cold winter days.  Herbalists have also traditionally used ginger for relief of menstrual cramps and motion sickness. 
  • Peppermint- This is another favorite herb for digestive-related difficulties.  Herbalists have also used mint to fight illness, boost mood, and relieve headaches. 
  • Chamomile- Perhaps one of the most widely used herbs in the world, chamomile is best known as a calming herb.  It's also one herbalist's turn to calm the digestive system, ease tension, help with sleep, and colic. 
  • Clove- An herb found in so many holiday dishes.  It's a warming herb that is traditionally used to support digestion, reduce inflammation, relieve dental pain, and more. 
  • Licorice Root- No, we don't mean black licorice candy.  We're talking about actual licorice root.  It is commonly used for immune support, relief of menstrual cramps, digestive care, and cough relief. 

A lot of our customers like to make sure they're using one of our herbal multivitamins during travel as well.  These can help fill some of the nutritional gaps left by less-than-healthy travel food.  They also contain herbs traditionally known to support a healthy immune system.  Plus, customers report increased energy when taking our herbal multivitamins, which is always helpful during the busy holiday travel season.  They taste great too, so no fighting with kids to take their vitamins- the whole family will be amazed.
