Homeopathic Travel Kit

In February my family had their first overseas trip to Jamaica. With any trip I would normally go on, before I became pregnant and had children, I’d take a couple of things with me like: aloe gel, bug spray, gravel etc… Who knows you wouldn’t want to be that unlucky one who gets sick and then can’t enjoy your vacation. Now that we had another little human coming along with us I wanted to put together a homeopathic travel kit specifically for him that was all natural and non-toxic. I am so glad that I did because lo and behold my son got a fever right before we needed to travel, which continued until we got to the resort.

To help create my first Homeopathic travel kit I consulted with my Naturopathic Doctor. We started off small, just with the basics: a little something for Travel's Diarrhea, sunburn, fever, bumps and brusies and shock.

Here were some of the basics in my travel kit:

1. Arsenic album for stomach flu/ traveller's diarrhea.
2. Belladonna for fever and extreme lethargy.
3. Arnica for bumps and bruises.
4. Aconitum for shock (anything - seeing something shocking/traumatic or going through shock as part of an illness or injury).
5. Sunscreen: My go to brand is ABC Arbonne Baby Care Sunscreen SPF 30+. This brand is not laden with many harmful chemicals but rather loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and soothing botanicals. 
6. Coconut oil for any sunburned areas.
7. Probiotics which contribute to a natural healthy gut flora. Great prevention for Traveler’s Diarrhea, digesting food you may not normally eat, and keeping your immunity high to avoid getting sick. This probiotic powder needs to be refrigerated so I brought it with me in my carry-on in a small cooler with an ice pack.

Now get packing and happy travels!
