Travel Plans?

The rain never seems to end! This ‘summer’ has been a total wash out and like many of you I find myself dreaming of far off places, sunny climates and the feel of sun on my face. With that in mind, I thought that this week I would turn my focus to travel. At Baldwin’s we are often asked questions relating to health and well-being whilst traveling, and so I thought I’d share some wisdom with you here and try and answer some of our most frequently asked questions.

Jet-lag is a common problem for the long haulers out there. Business trips are the real killer for this, as there simply isn’t time to get over it slowly and workers need to be at their best the moment they step off the plane. I recommend Australian Bush Combination Drops to help overcome jet lag as it refreshes and restores balance thus having a really positive effect. They should be used throughout the flight to leave you feeling brighter and ready for the Boardroom.

Another common complaint from our customers is that air travel causes break outs. This is not what you want when you’re going on holiday! I can tell you now that break outs are common due to the stale air within the aeroplane cabin that is continually pumped round and round. Our Aubrey Organics Travel A Go-Go range is especially suitable for problem or blemish-prone complexions. Made from 100% natural ingredients, the kit contains a facial cleanser with calming witch hazel, a facial astringent with organic camomile and calendula flowers, a balancing moisturiser containing aloe vera and balm mint as well as a sea clay face mask to be used as an instant ‘pick me up’ for your skin. The small bottles ensure check-in security is a breeze too!

I am often asked for advice and suggestions of products that help with travel sickness. The most effective cure is ginger, interestingly. Women in China are known to use it to alleviate morning sickness during pregnancy. The simplest way to take ginger is via capsules. At Baldwin’s we have Bio-Health capsules that are made with a pure powdered form of the ginger root. They will help with sickness whether caused by flying, car travel or sailing.

I hope that these hints are helpful. Of course our staff at Baldwin’s are always on hand for advice and information. I will return to the idea of travel at a later date, but for now I have endeavored to answer the most frequently asked questions on this subject.
