How to Prepare a Homeopathic Travel Kit

Are you interested in learning about homeopathic remedies that can complement conventional travel medicine approaches? The links below will lead you to information organized by condition: emotions and fears, motion sickness and nausea, jet lag, diarrhea, and bites and stings.

Homeopathic remedies can be purchased in different strengths, or potencies. For minor travel ailments, the 30C potency is most commonly used.

A single pellet is placed under the tongue, where it is left to dissolve. Depending on the severity of the ailment, the remedy can be repeated at intervals of 3, 6 or 12 hours.

A single pellet can go a long way. For this reason, homeopathic remedies should be allowed time to work before being repeated.

On occasion, a side effect called an "aggravation" occurs when the remedy is repeated too frequently or the potency of the remedy is too strong. Symptoms may worsen temporarily.
