If you are happy with loose herbs, there are generally no issues. Put them in a bag and go. However, if you like to use tinctures then further consideration must be taken. Tinctures are normally stored in\u00a01 oz. amber \u00a0glass bottles. For travel, some people choose to store their tinctures in plastic bottles. I am not a fan of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/2012\/08\/14\/living-in-a-world-surrounded-by-bpa\/\">plastic<\/a>, so that\u2019s not an option for our family. At first, I made a simple pouch out of bubble wrap, not very elegant but it did the trick. Then, I came across a simple homemade carrying case and decided to make one for Mike since he was traveling quite a bit. It was perfect ~ simple and easy to travel with tinctures. I finally made one for myself too.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2287\" style=\"width: 334px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/materials.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2287\" class=\" wp-image-2287\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/materials.jpg?resize=324%2C209\" alt=\"materials\" width=\"324\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/materials.jpg?w=980&amp;ssl=1 980w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/materials.jpg?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/materials.jpg?resize=464%2C300&amp;ssl=1 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2287\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">materials<\/p><\/div>\n<p>All you need is a placemat, thread and ribbon.
