Holidays – sunburn, travel sicknesses, insect bites

Along with Arnica for bumps and bruises, the summer holiday homeopathic kit should include:

Arsenicum for food poisoning and Cocculus for travel sickness (among one of a number of travel sickness remedies). Belladonna for sunstroke.

Calendula cream or ointment which promotes the growth of skin cells so is a must have for bites, cuts, grazes. It is really soothing for bites and can prevent bites becoming infected from too much scratching. It can also soothe sunburn.

Nelson's Pyrethrum spray is also very effective for bites to help stop the itching and speed up healing.
