Nausea, Diarrhea and Parasites, OH MY!!!!
Vacation time is here, and since most of us won’t be travelling to Oz, or planning a visit to the Wizard, we are on our own should nausea, diarrhea or parasites strike. The good news is there are natural ways to help fight the symptoms of these common travel ailments.

Diarrhea is one of the biggest problems travellers will experience.
If you are one of the estimated 20%- 70% of travellers that will be affected, you know this is no laughing matter. However, there are natural ways to help aid in the possible prevention or symptoms should they strike. One of the best ways is by packing a Probiotic. Probiotics help to maintain the number of “healthy” bacteria that reside in the colon. These bacteria are necessary for healthy digestion. On vacation we often tend to eat foods our bodies are unaccustomed to then find ourselves with intestinal issues because of the bad bacteria we might come in contact with. Visit your Health Practitioner to find out which Probiotic will best suit your individual needs, as all probiotics are not created equal.
Nausea does not always occur due to motion. Many people find that change
of food or overindulgence, can bring on nausea. A simple homeopathic remedy that you can take with you is Nux Vomica to help combat nausea.
Garlic (or Allisyn) is another must have for travellers. Due to garlic’s antimicrobial properties it helps to prevent the growth of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses).
Parasites are organisms that many people are not even aware they have.
If you find that you are fatigued, have sleep disturbances, skin rashes, joint and/ or muscle pain or other symptoms check with your Health Practitioner to have a live blood analysis done to see if you are indeed a host for parasites.
Travelling can be a fun and relaxing time if you take care and plan for a “Healthy” trip. Pack a travel kit and include some of the following to ensure your trip isn’t into the “land of Oz”.
