But the disadvantage of active leisure, sports and vacations can be injuries and illnesses. A homeopathic first aid kit and corresponding manual should therefore be taken with you when traveling.

Minor acute illnesses and injuries can be easily treated with the help of homeopathic medicines. However, the success of the cure depends on following the rules of homeopathy. If the principle of similarity is not observed, no homeopathic medicine can help. The theory of the method must be understood because it is very different from what most people know in conventional medicine.

Homeopathy, medicine in small doses, does not help much, and a prescription according to the scheme of one tablet three times a day, half a day for children, is of no use. One of the tasks of an advice book is to convey basic information. This should also be expected from books which must be practical and small to be suitable for travel. Therefore, well-structured books provide information about homeopathy and instructions for self-treatment. Most guides are divided into three parts: a theoretical introduction, which also contains general information about dosage and intake, followed by a list of symptoms or illnesses with corresponding medication suggestions, and finally an alphabetical compilation of the medications mentioned with their characteristics.

Many manufacturers of homeopathic medicines who have compiled travel first aid kits in their line make the customer’s life easier. They include a leaflet that explains how to use the remedies and gives a brief introduction to homeopathy. This information is sometimes very detailed, but it is often not very easy to read due to the very small format. But there are also travel first aid kits designed specifically for books.

Travel first aid kits should not contain too many items, otherwise less experienced users will easily become overwhelmed. But the market offers almost all sizes. Spagyros, for example, offers special pharmacies for travel or sports from 12 medicines.

The alternative to the finished product is to set up the pharmacy yourself, preferably with the help of the homeopathic doctor responsible for the treatment. You should especially seek advice if you are being treated for a chronic illness.
