“It’s better to travel well, than to arrive.” – Buddha
The very essence of travel is healing. It takes us out of our daily routine, relieves stress, stimulates creativity and is even good for brain health. After traveling to 105 countries and working as an Acupuncturist-at-Sea in cruise ship spas, I know a thing or 2 about wellness travel trips or wellness tourism. Wellness Retreats, Digital Detox Retreats or Wellness Vacations are becoming more and more common. We all need that time away to reset and recharge in a therapeutic setting.
Sometimes, the healing comes from giving or volunteering abroad for a social cause. Or maybe you discover a medicinal herb at a botanical garden. There are no rules or limits to how travel brings wellness. Even more, you don’t need to travel far and spend a lot of money for a healing adventure. A road trip, day at the beach or walk in the woods can do wonders. During my travels, I always keep an eye open for how to turn travel into a healing experience, and these articles share this sentiment.

More on Healing Travel…
Being an avid traveler, I consider travel the ultimate spiritual practice and therefore, healing. There are reasons why the great spiritual masters from many cultures were on some kind of quest or pilgrimage. The common theme of all of these journeys is that ultimately this external quest is actually more about being internal. While travel is healing in numerous ways, it also can take its toll.
Our routine is disrupted, and we undergo unique circumstances, such as, motion sickness, germs and dry air from airplanes, different foods and drinks, sunburns and more. Therefore, it’s good to plan and assess your itinerary, climate, foods and transportation. With this in mind, you can bring wellness travel essentials to counterbalance the effects of travel. Then, when returning home, you won’t need a vacation from your vacation.
