Homeopathic First Aid

A few homeopathic remedies for first aid and travelling:

  1. Arnica - Injuries from falling.  Good for bruising, sports injuries, if you fall and hit your head.
  2. Apis - Insect bites.  This includes bees, mosquitoes, scorpions, etc.
  3. Arsenicum Album - Food poisoning (diarrhea or vomiting).
  4. Aristolochia - Eye injuries.
  5. Calendula - Cuts and scrapes, even a first degree burn.
  6. Nux-Vomica - Hangovers (not exactly first aid, but it is important).
There are many more, stay tuned for more on this topic.  Also, please consult a Homeopath for the correct potency and dosage, instructions on the bottle ask you to take way more than necessary.  A good starting potency for acute emergency situations is 200C.  One dry dose is typically 1 or 2 pellets.
