Homeopathy
It is a great alternative for almost all illnesses and ideal for travellers to reduce anxiety while travelling into the
wilds. The easiest potency to use is the 30c one.
- Aconite 200 (or 30) for panic/nervousness
- Apis 30 for stings/bites
- Arnica 30 and/or cream for injuries/accidents/bruises
- Arsenicum Album 30 for nausea/food poisoning/diarrhea/vomiting
- Belladonna 200 (or 30) for cold/fever/flu
- Hepar Sulphur 30 for fever/infection
- Ledum 30 for stings/bites/wounds
- Nux Vomica 30 for overeating and drinking/nausea/vomiting
Homeopathic prophylactics: Malaria Co Nosode 30. 1 tablet per week - to start 1 week before entering the malarial
area, while in the area and to continue for 4 weeks after leaving the high risk area. This is not a guaranteed preventative.
Other natural remedies include essential oils: Tea Tree oil can be used as an antiseptic (better to use than a cream which
involves rubbing the wound with potentially dirty fingers) and Lavender oil works wonders on bites/stings.
