With longer days here, many of us will be planning holidays, day trips and family days out. That means getting into some means of transport - cars, planes, coaches, boats and trains. This, for some people, tarnishes the joy and excitement of the trip by the journey itself to get there.

Many people suffer from travel sickness, which can really ruin any trip. Symptoms can include nausea, breaking out in a cold sweat, and headaches. When it affects children, it can be especially challenging for school trips and family days out.

The good news is that homeopathy is widely used for travel sickness and anxiety related to travel, and can be a valuable tool for the whole family. There are a wide range of homeopathic remedies for all kinds of travel sickness and related symptoms. If you want to try a remedy at home then Aconite could be the one for you. It’s widely used when you’re simply very frightened, like a panic attack or intense anxiety about something specific such as flying. Cocculus prevents and removes the nausea from undulating motion, so can be effective in sea sickness. There are many other remedies you can try though, and when you find the right one you can put an end your travel related symptoms for good.

It’s always better to consult a registered homeopath if you can, as they will get to the root cause of the problem, and choose a remedy to fit your individual characteristics. Homeopathy promotes the body’s natural ability to heal, and is a natural and sustainable healthcare option which is kind to your body and the environment.

74% of UK adults say that have felt so stressed at some point over the last year they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope.

Stress will always exist, and affects most of us from time to time. Unfortunately, for too many of us, it’s an all too regular and ongoing occurrence. However, with greater awareness, we can help to prevent it, or at least manage it and prevent it from becoming chronic, which can lead to a range of other mental and physical health conditions. Stress-related illnesses have been estimated to cost the NHS over £11 billion, representing 6.2% of total health expenditure. This is a huge drain on public resources.

With April being Stress Awareness Month, let’s look at what homeopathy can do to assist with this growing problem. As a complete, whole-person system of medicine, homeopathy offers the opportunity to get to the root cause of mental, emotional and physical illness. Medicines are chosen to fit the individual characteristics of the patient. Homeopathy promotes the body’s natural ability to heal, and is a natural and sustainable healthcare option which is kind to your body and the environment.

It might be difficult to believe on some days at the moment, but Spring officially begins around 19th March. The longer days and the daffodils blooming in woodlands and parks will be a welcome sight to us all.

For most of us, this end to the Winter months brings a sense of positivity for the year ahead. However, for others, it can be the start of a period of feeling under the weather and seasonal health problems.

The most common, perhaps, is hay fever. Anyone who has suffered with it will dread the thought of the runny nose, watery and itchy eyes, sneezing and cough. It can be quite debilitating for the worst sufferers, and a daily nuisance for the rest.

Fortunately, homeopathy has been used successfully by millions of people for hay fever. There are a number of remedies that you can try. Arsen alb is one of the best remedies for hay fever, where there is burning or itching in the nose, eyes or throat. Allium cepa and Euphrasia are also widely used where there is lots of sneezing with streaming eyes and nose

As an individualised medicine, though, it’s always better to consult a registered homeopath if you can, as they will go through your medical history and symptoms, and prescribe a remedy specifically tailored for you personally.

There’s also asthma to think about, and even the common cold, which isn’t just a Winter phenomenon. After all, many of us may have weakened immune systems after the Winter, so more susceptible to viruses. Homeopathy can help.

Spring is a perfect time to start to address any new or existing health concerns. After all, it’s a time of rebirth, so it could be the right time for you to try homeopathy for the first time.

How are you feeling as we get into the new year? Do you feel energised and ready for anything life throws at you? Or do you have another Winter virus and feel weary and unwell, and just want to feel 100% again? Perhaps you’ve got a chronic condition which you didn’t get around to addressing last year, or something for which you weren't able to find a solution. Whatever your situation, take this opportunity to assess your own health and look at ways you can strengthen yourself mentally, physically and emotionally for the months and years ahead.

The first thing to do is to start with a plan. What do you want to achieve with your health? Once you know this, you can then look at ways to reach your health goals. It’s important to take control of your health and feel empowered to make the changes you want. If you’ve not tried homeopathy before, 2024 could be the year to do so. Homeopathy is a system of medicine used by millions of people around the world as part of their daily life. It offers a genuinely sustainable system of healthcare which supports your own body’s healing mechanism in a gentle, whole person way.

The festive season is upon us. Are you looking forward to a busy period over Christmas and New Year with friends and family? Or some quiet and relaxed time to recharge your batteries? Either way, it’s all too easy to overlook your health needs at this time of year, and much better to be prepared.

Perhaps this whole time of year makes you feel stressed, with so many things to do and seemingly not enough time to do them? If that’s the case, then Argent Nit could be worth trying. It may help your anxiety.

Or if you’ve overindulged a little too much, then Nux Vom is a homeopathic remedy widely used for indigestion, which many of us seem to suffer from at this time of year. It’s also the go to remedy for hangovers. Pulsatilla is another good remedy for indigestion from rich or fatty food. After all, we’re all human and it’s not hard to have that extra drink or extra portion or treat we’d not normally have.

If you’re unsure which remedy is best for you, then you can find a registered homeopath here at www.findahomeopath.org who will look at you as a whole person, and give you time to go through all your concerns. Many homeopaths offer online consultations too, so you can get the help and advice you need from the comfort and privacy of your own home if you’re pushed for time.

In addition, if you want to give a friend or family member a present that could have a really positive impact on their health and wellbeing, you could buy a homeopathic remedy kit from one of the homeopathic pharmacies such as Ainsworths or Helios. What better way to help a loved one look after their health in 2024 and beyond?
