Lavender
Orange
Ylang Ylang
in Fractionated coconut oil.

If the anxiety is severe, or the flight is long, grab some Valerian root from your local grocery store and take it before the flight if necessary. It is important to note that this can cause drowsiness, so you may want to give it a test run at home first. Then again, if you are on a long flight, that drowsiness may work in your favor. For long flights, you may also want to consider using a weighted blanket. If you can feel the weight of the blanket whilst you rest on the plane, it will stimulate deep pressure touch stimulation (DPTS). This has been scientifically proven to help people to relax and feel calm, secure, and protected. Ideal if you are anxious about being on an airplane!
