There is no experience like taking your family somewhere new.
It’s intense. It takes a lot of thought and planning. But it’s so worth it for the look on their faces when they are exploring a different experience or a new part of the world.
Things don’t always go to plan though.
I never travel without these homeopathic remedies close to hand.
I want to feel like ‘I’ve got this’.
These remedies help me do that:
Apis
For bee stings and insect bites. When they are hot to touch. Have a stinging pain and swell. When they get relief from cold applications.
Aconite
For any type of shock. Take it straight after the incident, before the remedy that matches what has happened. Also for the early stages of flu or cold symptoms.
Arnica
For all things bruised and traumatic. Bumps and falls. Also very useful for jet lag.
Arsenicum
Stomach bugs and food poisoning. Violent vomiting and deathly nausea. Burning pains, and anxious restlessness go alongside this.
Belladonna
Fevers, with throbbing pains. Things are hot and red. Early stages of an infection.
Bryonia
Colds and flu that come on slowly. Headaches that are worse for any movement.
Calendula
Helps healing of any wound, cut, scald or burn. Often taken alongside Arnica.
Chamomilla
Teething and fevers. Fractious and irritable. Heat on one side of the face.
Cocculus
Travel sickness. A remedy second-to-none for this. Also for emotional exhaustion from lost sleep.
Hepar sulph
Boils and abscesses. Chesty coughs.
Hypericum
Injuries to an area with lots of nerves. Trapped fingers for example.
Ledum
Puncture wounds. Bites and stings, with a shooting pain.
Mixed pollens
Hayfever. Itching, burning and watery eyes.
Nux vomica
Over-indulgence. Indigestion and irritability.
Pulsatilla
