The Wellness Travel Kit Checklist: What to Pack in 2025
SHARE THIS POST
Travel can be exciting, but it often brings challenges like disrupted sleep, digestive discomfort, and exposure to germs. A well-prepared wellness travel kit can help you stay balanced, rested, and healthy while on the go. This checklist gives you TSA-friendly guidance, supplement packing tips, and a clear list of what to bring in 2025.
What Is a Wellness Travel Kit?
Think of it as one small pouch that keeps your health essentials in order. Instead of scrambling through your bag for scattered items, you’ll have everything organized: sleep aids, immune boosters, digestive support, and hygiene basics.
Quick-dissolving strips are particularly useful for travel. Unlike pills, they’re easy to take without water and absorb quickly. If you’re curious about why strips are more efficient than tablets, check out our breakdown of how quick-dissolving strips work.
TSA-Friendly Ground Rules Before You Pack
Before you fill your kit, keep these TSA tips in mind:
- Liquids: Follow the 3-1-1 rule (3.4 ounces or less, in a quart-sized bag, one bag per traveler) for carry-on items.
- Vitamins and supplements: Allowed in both carry-on and checked bags. Keep them accessible for easy screening.
- Powders: Anything over 12 oz may need extra screening, especially on international flights.
-
Tip: Store everything in clear containers or pouches so security can check quickly.
