Oils to Take Hiking

Day trips make some of the best memories!

If you’re taking off on a hike this summer, I’m sharing a few of the oils and products I make space in my backpack for!

These staples are some of my all time favorite doTERRA products because they can be used SO easily and they work SO well.

Outdoor fun is supposed to be just that, FUN! So be prepared for anything that comes your way with natural products so you can have the best time.

Are you an over packer? Do you tend to be overprepared or are you often left wishing you brought more? When you’re hiking space is limited and every ounce matters…. that bag can get heavy FAST!

Hikes are more fun when the bugs aren’t constantly bugging…

Flying, biting and annoying insects are no match for doTERRA’s TerraShield blend.

When you’re on the trail, you should be enjoying the view, not swatting, smashing or itching the creepy crawlies.

Here’s how we use it

Spray or apply the TerraShield blend to your socks, shoes, hat, backpack, clothing or skin to keep flying, crawling and biting insects away. This invigorating blend of Citronella, Lemongrass, Thyme, Cedarwood, Geranium and Peppermint essential oils and Sesame Seed Oil naturally repels pests so you can actually enjoy your hike!

This is a camping must have as well. Enjoy evenings around the campfire without all those buzzing bugs by spraying on camp chairs or blankets!

Have you used doTERRA’s TerraShield before? I like the spray for day hikes and outdoor fun and I love diffusing the oil blend when we are spending time outside. How do you use it most?

Now you’re getting toward the end of the hike, you’re feeling a little tired, your bag is feeling heavy and you trip over the smallest tree root… whether you twisted your ankle or scraped up your knee, don’t worry, you’re prepared!

Deep Blue for muscle soreness and inflammation is best when used asap! Take a moment to sit on the side of the trail and apply around the area and gently rub it in. Apply often with ice or heat and elevation when you get home!

Get a head start on healing with Correct-X! Small scrapes, skin irritations and bug bites are all soothed and protected with this ointment. Rinse with water on the trail and apply a small amount to help keep it protected while you finish your hike. Once you get home and clean things up a bit more, you can apply again to keep skin healing well, feeling good and healing quickly.

Staying hydrated is one of the most overlooked ways to feel your best when you’re spending time outside. Have you ever experienced dehydration? It can sneak up on you and ruin your plans quickly so today I’m sharing an easy way to be prepared!

Keep your energy levels up and feel your best when you enhance your water with doTERRA’s MetaPwr Recharge Electrolyte Drink Mix.

One sachet of this liquid balanced blend of electrolytes including: potassium, sodium, magnesium and deep-ocean minerals help water work more cooperatively with your cells so you don’t have to work hard to stay hydrated.

It tastes great too. The Lemon-Lime is so refreshing and the Wild Strawberry is everyone’s favorite for summer.

Did you know that over 75% of the U.S. population is deficient in magnesium? Magnesium is a mineral crucial for numerous physiological processes and MetaPWR Recharge helps address this gap. It incorporates four different types of magnesium in its formulation: Magnesium L-Threonate, Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, and Magnesium Citrate.

This comprehensive approach ensures a well-rounded magnesium supplementation, catering to various aspects of health making it essential for everyday use, not just the long days outside.

Is hydration on your hiking checklist? Pop a Recharge sachet in your water bottle and you’re good to go!
