Homeopathy in the Summertime Camping with Homeopathy

I love camping. But, lets face it sometimes camping can be dirty hard work that tests even the most avid campers resolve. Camping with kids can be even more challenging how do they get so sticky?! I have learned that in addition to the homeopathic first aid essentials noted in this newsletter, there are a few additional items I will not go camping without:

Aconite for ailments from shock, fright or exposure.


Belladonna for sudden intense fevers with a flushed face. Carbo Vegetabilis for fainting from heat/sunstroke. Herbal Salve something that has antiseptic, soothing & moistizing poperties. My family loves Butterflyweeds Green Wisdom All-Heal. Gelsiemium - #1 for influenza; sunstoke with shivering, shaking & fatigue. Ledum #1 for animal bites & puncture wounds. Bryonia for sprains (esp. ankles) with excrutiating pain from any movement or jarring. Chocolate nut butter* essential for the easiest & best Smores you have ever eaten and a great treat for rainy day meals.

* 250ml of your favorite nut butter mixed with 15ml of cocoa powder & honey to taste.

2. Select the Homeopathic medicine that best matches the characteristics/pattern of the symptoms.

Hypericum: for injuries to areas rich in nerves such as fingers, toes, the head and tailbone.

Dosage & Potency: 1. For most adults 2 pellets of a 200c dissolved under the tongue is a good place to start. For children use a 30c. 2. After 3-4 doses (at 30 min. intervals) if there is no improvement stop dosing. Re- evaluate your medicine selection or seek help from your Homeopath. 3. Stop dosing with improvement - resume dosing only if symptoms return.

Ledum Pallustre: for mosquito bites, puncture wounds and black eyes; mottled or blueness of the skin; feels worse from heat and better from cold applications.

Nux Vomica: for over indulgence think hangover. Well suited for irritability with a headache and digestive distress that is better with warmth.
