10 Small Healing Products Essential for Traveling Anywhere, Especially With Kids! (fitting in a neat little pouch!) By AMY D. COHEN, BFRP Going on a family vacation is the most exciting part of our year! A break from school, a break from work. But the preparation for a family vacation carries its own weight and stress with it! We spend a ton of time and money to make sure everything will be perfect for our family, a memory we will never forget! Do we have enough clothes, what are we going to do with the animals, the mail, the lights, the medicine! Maybe you travel for work. Nothing like being sick the night before your big meeting! Having traveled with my kids for years, now 22 & 16, we have had some close calls with sickness! We make sure our arsenal pouch is always packed when leaving the country!” Getting stuck on cruises when Norovirus attacked the ships, stomach viruses hit resorts, and being prepared for Mexico for the “just in case,” moments, these five products will keep you, and your kids healthy and happy, even if everyone is getting sick around you! From physical dis-ease to emotional tantrums, fears and unhappiness - carry your healing arsenal arsenal pouch, and your travel is a guaranteed good memory, and will only take 6 inches of packing space! The first is a homeopathic remedy called Arsenicum Album. Fantastic for stomach issues, food poisoning, nervousness, restlessness, anxiety. 30C is a good potency and can take 3-4x daily. (5 balls) For children, give one dose and decide on next dose, as needed. The second product I always carry with me is Acidophilus.
In fact, my kids started taking this daily in pre-school. When everyone else was sharing stomach viruses, my kids stayed healthy. It was an “ahhhhh” moment for me! Helps with stomach aches, digestion, nauseau. We even take when not feeling so great or feel like we are getting sick. The third is GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract) by Nutrabiotic. Its a natural antibiotic. It has helped us for toothaches, infections, sickness...anything that is contagious. Its like taking an antibiotic and really helps right away usually. I usually mix it in thick drinks like orange juice or chocolate almond milk where the bitter flavor is hidden. Do not mix in grapefruit juice and that is what the product is made of and will be too potent. I dont give to young kids, but keep it for us adults. The minute we start to feel like we may be getting ill, we take it a few times daily. My fourth is Nux Vomica, Homeopathic Remedy. I travel with this for overindulging. Eating too much, drinking too much. 30c in your arsenal and take as needed. My Fifth is Emergency Remedy or Rescue Remedy. For many issues - when the kids are acting out because they are tired, or fifighting. When a tantrum is being thrown. If they are fearful to try something, if they need any kind of calming, I will put in a bath, they can take orally, or on their wrists. Calms us all fairly quickly. Adults may need to take a few times, not always! My Sixth is Calendula gel Great gel for burns, scrapes, rashes, cuts. Heals quickly. Never put over stitches as it works so quickly it will heal right over stitches! My Seventh & Eighth is Zinc and Vitamin D I always carry this for when it feels like a cold or flflu may be coming on. Taking one of each daily when you feel something coming on will cut it off in its tracks. My Ninth is Belladonna Homeopathic Remedy When a fever comes on quickly, this will rid it quickly. 30c. Give a dose to kids a couple of times daily. When fever goes down, you can stop. And my Tenth, of course is Your Aspirin/Pain Reliever of Choice
