Homeopathic remedies for summer holidays by Victoria Waring

With the current heatwave in Europe, top of the list would be remedies for sun burn, and for when you’ve had too much sun.
Belladonna is amazing for this, especially if you have a banging headache, red skin, feel hot and may even be delirious. A true sign that you need this remedy is if you start craving lemonade. Obviously if a person is delirious then this remedy should be given while you are on the way to the doctor, and drinking water is essential.
Sol is a remedy made from potentised sunlight, I know isn’t that amazing! It is great for sun burn, but can be used for prickly heat or headache. I have learned that it is amazing for helping those of us who burn easily, I haven’t tried this yet, but this summer I am going to give it a try. I’ll be taking it once a day for three days at the beginning of my holiday.
Apis is a great remedy for prickly heat, all that prickling, stinging and burning can be gently relieved by Apis, especially if you will feel relief from bathing in cold water, or uncovering the rash, and worse in a warm room, your skin will often be red. This can also be tried for a jellyfish sting, wasp or bee sting with heat, redness and swelling.
Urticaria urens is made from the common nettle, so great for any skin rash that looks like a nettle sting, whether it’s from an insect, allergy or heat.
If your prickly heat gets worse when you exercise then you could give Natrum Muriaticum a try.
For those heading further afield a great remedy to take for the infamous Bali/Delhi Belly is Arsenicum album, this is the top remedy to take for food poisoning.
Another fantastic remedy for bites and stings is Ledum I would give this for any bite or sting, but especially mosquito.
Enjoy your summer everyone, hopefully you wont need any of these remedies, but if you have them to hand it might make your life a little more comfortable.
If you are travelling in Europe then many pharmacies stock Homeopathic remedies, and the pharmacists are knowledgeable about natural health.
These remedies should not be taken long term without advice from a Homeopath.
I would advise up to 5 doses, 4 hours apart unless advised otherwise by a local pharmacist on your holiday.
