The Winter sports season has started! You have booked your ski holidays and you want to enjoy it 100%?<\/span>
\nIt would be such a shame to spoil your stay because of little hurts or some aches and pains or some muscular discomfort. I wrote this article to help make your life easier, a memo to put in your suitcase and a list of essential oils to put in your first aid kit so that you can have trouble-free holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

What should you pack for your ski holidays?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clothes<\/span><\/h4>\n

In the mountain, to be well protected against cold and humidity, the ideal outfit consists of 3 layers:<\/span>
\n– One breathing layer: thermal underwear (top and leggings), no cotton as it does not get rid of sweat!<\/span>
\n– One insulating layer to keep the heat in (for ex, a fleece with a turtle neck)<\/span>
\n– One protective layer: a coat and pants that are waterproof and windproof to protect you from the weather.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ski<\/a><\/p>\n

After ski<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

Waterproof shoes, warm and with a notched rubber sole, slip-resistant as well as the must-haves for winter: scarf, beanie or balaclava, socks, gloves or mittens\u2026 (including one pair of socks for skiing).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the long winter nights<\/span><\/h4>\n

Comfort and warmth are the keywords: a sporty outfit made of warm sweaters, jeans, after-ski type shoes\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ski equipment<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sports people who have their own equipment, make sure you don\u2019t leave anything behind. It would be a shame to have to hire equipment that you left at home!<\/span>
\n– Skiing equipment: skis or snowboard, shoes, bats, ski poles, sleigh\u2026<\/span>
\n– Body protection: helmet, goggles, gloves, back brace, etc\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Accessories<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"girl<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget your sunglasses for the coffee breaks on the terrace or the ski goggles for skiing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To add to my toiletries<\/span><\/h2>\n

A sunscreen with UV A and UV B protection (for my face) as well as a protection stick or shea butter for my lips. Don\u2019t forget to apply regularly whatever the weather, sun or clouds (reverberation is treacherous).<\/span><\/p>\n

Download our summary chart of the first-aid box and its uses:\u00a0<\/span>your winter list<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Since nobody is free of the possibility of a nasty cold or a blister, a small first-aid pharmacy is needed with a \u201csurvival kit for the ski holidays\u201d. Here are the most important EO for your skiing season:<\/span><\/p>\n

To avoid tendinitis, aches and pains, joint and muscular pain during ski holidays:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Eucalyptus citriodora EO and wintergreen EO (Gaultheria fragrantissima)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"wintergreen<\/span><\/p>\n

Wintergreen<\/a> EO:<\/strong> <\/span>analgesic used by sports people to ease muscular aches, it is easy to use and very effective. It is also anti-spasmodic, so cramps can be avoided. In addition, it dilates blood vessels, which results in muscle relaxation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usage: contractures, tendonitis, tears and muscular, joint or ligament pain, strains (all this can happen while skiing, but keep your fingers crossed so it won\u2019t happen).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"eucalyptus\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Eucalyptus citriodora<\/a> EO<\/strong><\/span> : anti-inflammatory, it soothes muscular pain. It will work hand in hand with the wintergreen EO\u2019s analgesic properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usage: 2 drops of wintergreen EO + 2 drops Eucalyptus citriodora EO in a tablespoon of VO and massage in the painful area. Repeat this 3 x a day for a maximum of 5 days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Counter-indications:<\/strong><\/span>
\nPregnant women \/ breastfeeding women, children under the age of six.<\/span>
\nPeople taking anticoagulant medication<\/span>
\nPeople who are allergic to aspirin<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

To accelerate the resorption of bruising<\/strong>: Italian everlasting<\/a> EO<\/span><\/h4>\n

You hit the slopes at full speed when suddenly \u201cWHAM\u201d, you fall! In addition to hurting yourself, you are very likely to be bruised. Italian everlasting is the best remedy for bruises in the area of EO because of its ketones. It is also an analgesic and an anti-inflammatory thanks to its composition of neryl acetate. This accelerates coagulation at the level of the blood vessel concerned and stops the blood from spreading under the skin. Within a few days, the bruise will only be a bad memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Counter-indications:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
