cases of Lyme Disease. Lemon Eucalyp- tus oil in 30% solution has been shown to be as effective against ticks as a 10- 15% solution of DEET. Other essential oils such as cedarwood, lavender and citronella are great bug repellants both topically and diffused in the air.


First Aid


1. Arnica cream: This is a must when traveling with children for bumps and bruises or pain. Whether it is a twisted ankle or a bump on the head, arnica will help with healing and pain and can be applied as often as needed.


2. Essential oils: Lavender is one of my fa- vorite oils. Little known uses for lavender are as an antiseptic and a styptic. Laven- der essential oil can be applied directly to a cut or scrape and will help stop bleeding and help to prevent infection. It does not generally burn when applied.


3. Homeopathics: See the list below. Homeopathy


There are thousands of homeopathic remedies but here are a few to consider when packing for your trip. Because ho- meopathy is not a one size fi ts all medi- cine, I recommend consulting a licensed naturopathic doctor before your trip to ensure you have the correct remedies for you and your family and understand how to dose them properly.


Aconitum Napellis: Aconite can be useful for panic and anxiety related to travel, particularly fearful thoughts or fear of dying.


Argentum Nitricum: One of the stars


for travel anxiety, can be helpful for thoughts of claustrophobia on a plane, fear of crowds and heights and that individual that needs to walk and move around to feel better.


Arsenicum Album: Generalized anxiety and anxiety about health concerns can be an indication for Arsenicum. Additionally, Arsenicum is a great remedy for stomach upset and burning and vomiting that may be a result of food poisoning. Travelers Diarrhea sometimes known as “Montezuma’s revenge” is another indication for Arsenicum.


Nux Vomica: Have you or someone you


know ever said that they aren’t able to go to the bathroom when traveling? Nux vomica can be helpful for those that need to move their bowels.


Ledum: A tool for your fi rst aid kit, Ledum can be indicated for snake bites, puncture wounds and specifi cally tick bites. I recommend that Ledum be given after a tick bite for at least 7 days.
