Homeopathy and Holidays - remedy kit 'to go' please!

14-21 June 2013 is the 13th Homeopathy Awareness Week - and the focus in on holidays.  As the Society of Homeopaths leaflet says (on the left):

"Homeopathy has a consistent history in alleviating the distress of bumps, bruises, sore muscles, digestive problems, sunburn, fear of flying, jet lag or vertigo and nausea from motion sickness (cars, planes and boats)."

How Can I Use Homeopathy Whilst I'm Abroad?

Homeopathic remedies can be bought over the counter from pharmacies and some health food stores.  However, they can also be bought individually or in 'kit' form from.  This means you can take your own remedy kit abroad with you.  This is the most cost effective way to buy remedies as you can get 18 remedies for about the same price as 5 over the counter.

Kits (like the one shown on the left from Helios pharmacy) contain several remedies, and have a comprehensive and straightforward booklet on how to use them.  

There are kits available over the internet, but you may wish to speak to a pharmacy to get more of an understanding of what's available.  There are different kits for different purposes and different budgets.  What's more, the remedies last for years and can be used for friends and family, children and adults alike,  for a long time after the holiday has ended.

Here are some links to pharmacies selling homeopathic remedy kits (click and they will open in a new window):

• Helios Pharmacy kits
• Ainsworths Pharmacy kits

Underlying chronic symptoms are best seen by a qualified professional homeopath, but minor injuries and ailments can be treated at home using these over the counter remedies.
