Travel plans? Take Homeopathy with you...

An interesting article on http://innerhealth.us (Do You Have Travel Plans? September 12, 2009) talked about carrying Homeopathic remedies along when traveling as they are safe, gentle and effective with no side effects, easy to carry and don’t require prescriptions to get through customs.

One can get tips by listening to the show at www.HomeopathyRadio.com where expert homeopath and international traveler Tina Quirk shares her top homeopathic remedies for fear of flying, jet lag and gastro-intestinal disturbances due to dietary changes or over indulgence in food or drink. She advises homeopathic remedies for jellyfish stings, sea urchin spines, heat exhaustion, altitude sickness and frostbite.

It maybe worthwhile to visit your homeopath before hand....As said in the article 'Travel with confidence and prepare yourself for the unexpected!'

Alternative Medicine vs Conventional Medicine

Why opt for Alternative Medicine?

‘Alternative’ medicine is the natural treatment of disease that has been in effect long before conventional medicine was ever introduced. Many such practices offer great results; and include herbal remedies, ayurveda ,homeopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic, aromatherapy, naturopathy, and many other natural
therapies that have been proved to support the natural healing
function of the body .
Although there are different alternative therapies with
varying beliefs and techniques, there are common principles
under which they are all operating:
1. The body can heal itself naturally.
2. Health problems can be contributed to factors of mind,
body and emotions.
3. It is more important to get to the root cause of an
illness and treat the whole person than to concentrate upon
symptoms only.

The main difference between so-called alternative medicine
and conventional medicine is that the latter treats the symptoms of disease instead of treating the whole person
and the cause of disease. On the other hand, alternative
medicine puts much emphasis upon the prevention of disease
(as mentioned above), and seeks to treat the whole person so
as to strengthen the immune system .
