Travel sickness affects people in different ways. The following remedies are worth considering:-
· Rescue Remedy
· Tea made from Ginger Root
· Cocculus 6 (especially for vertigo and nausea brought on in a train, car or boat)
· Petroleum 6 (especially if the symptoms are aggravated by the smell of petrol)
· Tabacum 6 (where there is nausea and vomiting which is better for fresh air)
Homoeopathic remedies should be treated with respect. They should be kept away from risk of contamination by strong smells (such as perfume, TCP etc.) direct sunlight and electromagnetic fields.
When taking a remedy by mouth the tablets should not be touched but tipped into the lid of the pot then into the mouth and sucked. Ideally the remedy should be taken away from food and drink.
Dosage should reflect how acute the symptoms are and the remedy should be stopped as soon as the person is well again.
If at any time you feel out of your depth or feel the symptoms are not responding quickly enough to the remedies then seek professional medical advice.
Homoeopathic remedies and preparations are available from most large pharmacies and health food stores. They are also available at competitive prices from Tessa Jordan on this website.
