Having a Great Vacation with Homeopathy & Herbs Are you going to travel? Feeling excited? Making plans, but a bit feeling worried about how you will feel and what to take with you? Homeopathic remedies and other natural supplements can make a difference between feeling miserable before, after, and during your vacation and having a great time. Before Setting Out Feeling stressed from packing and anticipation? Rescue Remedy is your best friend! Use in drops or in a spray form. Put 4-5 drops into your water bottle and sip throughout the day. If using it in a spray form, mist it around you. Rescue Remedy is safe to use for children as well, especially when they misbehave while you are packing or whine and cry while on a plane. If you are planning international travel that involves time change or a long flight, you'll be delighted to know that there's a homeopathic remedy for the symptoms of jet lag. Carry a tube of Arnica Montana 30C, and take three doses of the remedy during your flight. It will help you feel less tired when you arrive and prepare your body to adapt to the time change. Having a rough time on the plane? Kids whining? Take Rescue Sleep Remedy along. You can spray it on your cushion or in the air. A friend of mine used Rescue Sleep Remedy on a recent plane trip. Her child was yelling, jumping, and running around, making it impossible for anyone to rest. She sprayed the Rescue Sleep Remedy around her son and he immediately calmed down, eventually falling fast asleep, to the great relief of his miserable parents! I used to travel a lot alone with my two children, even while they were babies. I would fly to Russia, and from there to Israel. The trip from my home in Foster City to my parents' place in St. Petersburg, Russia was about 24 hours. Arnica helped me tremendously during this tiring time. Jeglag For many international travelers, the worst time during is the first week after arrival in the new time zone. For me, the jetlag is difficult because my children tend to fall asleep at the time when I just cannot sleep at all; they then wake me up after I've just managed a couple of hours of good sleep. Arnica 30C should also be used after arrival if you feel tired, especially if you have a jetlag. Take three doses during the first day and second day if needed. The main sensation in Arnica is feeling like your whole body has been beaten and bruised ~ exactly the way one feels after a long flight on a plane. After your arrival, don't forget to use Rescue Sleep Remedy to help you sleep better if needed. More Helpful Remedies If Arnica does not help with your jetlag symptoms, you can try Gelsemium 30C. This remedy helps if you feel completely exhausted, heavy. Even your eyelids may feel heavy. You need to lay down and rest. 3 daily doses of 3 pellets for a couple of days will return your energy. If you feel dizzy after your arrival, the remedy that will help you is Cocculus 30C. Usually by the time I arrive at St Petersburg Airport in Russia with two little ones in tow I feel so tired, I start feeling dizzy. Cocculus 30C usually gets me out of this state very quickly. If you suffer from travel sickness, Cocculus 30C is your main friend. You can take it as a preventative if you know you will be in a situation when you will experience travel sickness. Cocculus helps with dizziness that is made worse when looking out of the window at moving objects; better when closing the eyes. A gemmotherapy tincture of Fig Buds can give you an instant relief from any dizziness or vertigo. I use it for my clients who have vertigo when they have an acute attack. I also had to use it when I started ice skating in order to be able to spin more. It is invaluable for travel sickness or dizziness from other causes. Digestive Upsets Another frequent problem during travel is digestive upset. Homeopathy and other supplements can save you from being miserable during your vacation. For food poisoning take Arsenicum 30C. Take at least 3 doses 3 times a day, more frequently if symptoms are intense. The main symptoms of Arsenicum are diarrhea accompanied by vomiting, weakness, restlessness, anxiety and a desire for warm water that one can only sip slowly. Another remedy that is handy while traveling is Nux Vomica 30C. Use it when you have overindulged in food or drink. Nux Vomica is a remedy for hangovers. Nux Vomica helps when there is cramping pain in the abdomen with diarrhea or constipation. The pain is usually worse in the morning and can be accompanied by a headache. The same gemmotherapy tincture that helps with the dizziness, Fig Buds, can make a huge difference for digestive upsets. If using a Boiron gemmotherapy tincture, take 30 drops 5 times a day for an acute gastrointestinal crisis. The gemmotherapy tincture can be taken in conjunction with homeopathic remedies. For my clients, I use supplements from Standard Process as a preventative for any digestive upset when traveling in the areas that are known for problems with dirty water and traveler's diarrhea.
