"Essential oils are natural, long-lasting and multi-purpose. Extracted from plants, they offer powerful health-supporting benefits, making them ideal for survival kits. Some of the best essential oils for emergencies are lavender (stress relief), lemon (disinfectant) and peppermint (energy boost, cooling effect). Essential oils can repel insects, deter pests and provide mild sun protection when mixed with carrier oils. Always dilute oils before skin application, avoid ingestion (unless food-grade) and keep them away from pets and children."

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts taken from leaves, flowers, bark, roots and seeds that provide potent health-supporting benefits. They are lightweight, long-lasting and versatile, making them suitable additions to survival kits and outdoor gear. Lavender calms stress, lemon serves as a disinfectant (with phototoxicity risk), and peppermint delivers energy, a cooling effect and outdoor usefulness. Essential oils can repel insects, deter pests and offer mild sun protection when blended with carrier oils. Oils require dilution before skin application, ingestion should be avoided unless food-grade, and oils must be kept away from pets and children. Small bottles conserve space and extend utility during emergencies.
