Choosing a homeopathy kit

Rachel Van Halteren • Sep 12, 2023

Which homeopathy kit is best for you?

I'm excited to say that I've started carrying another homeopathy kit this month!


Although the one kit is listed as 'for the traveller' I'd say that both kits are extremely useful for at home use depending on your needs.


These kits are a wonderful way to get into using homeopathy without spending a ton of money - normally a single remedy is $7-8 (so 36 remedies would be $270!). You can save $115!!


Below, I will go into the details of what makes each kit unique and hopefully this will give you a bit more clarification in making your purchase! I'll list the remedies that are different from each kit, what makes them unique and why they might be beneficial to you. And if at the end you decide you want both kits please reach out to me personally and I will sell both to you at a discounted rate of $235 (a single kit is $155 incl. shipping).

And just a reminder - there is a convenient little booklet in each kit with info on uses of the remedy to help you prescribe on the go!


Helios 36 Remedy Kit for the TRAVELLER

Aloe - a wonderful remedy for gastrointestinal issues such as gastroenteritis (think diarrhea and upset stomach), irritable bowel syndrome, gassy, bloated feeling with stool, mucousy stools, sudden urge for stool (think running to bathroom !)

Bellis-p - a wonderful remedy after surgery - both for the pains and to speed recovery particularly to the trunk of body. Can be used for sprains, bruises, hematoma similar to arnica. Wonderful for use if there is a hard bruise (hematoma) after an injury, particularly injuries to the breast

Camphor - a remedy for collapse states where the person is cold, vitality is depleted - can occur after illness, shock, injury, sunstroke, fainting exposure to the elements, even comatose states - the person does not wish to be covered despite being very chilled. Their breath may even feel cold!

Chelidonium - a really neat little remedy useful in situations such as gallbladder issues (cholecystitis, cholelithiasis), headaches from indigestion and belching,  indigestion of fats, and liver dysfunction

Cocculus - a wonderful remedy for those who can't sleep due to being overtired and/or anxious! Think shift-work, nursing moms, caregivers. There is often a sense of lightheadedness/dizziness. The person can be very sensitive and emotional and nervous. The nervous system can be overstimulated leading to restlessness, agitation and eventually dullness. Cocculus is also wonderful for motion sickness, nausea during pregnancy, severe menstrual pain (but particular to the woman who is very sensitive, emotional with a romantic, soft tendency).

Cuprum - Cuprum has cramps and spasms which occur in virtually every system: the respiratory system (asthma), the gastrointestinal system (colic and spasmodic vomiting), the musculoskeletal system (leg cramps), but most importantly in the nervous system. 

Eupatorium-p - this is one of my must-haves for flus.  The patient often shows up with high fever, flush, chills or even rigor with paradoxical thirst for cold drinks, scanty perspiration. The patient is restless and complains of intense aches and may describe the pains as being in the bones or even as if the bones are breaking.

Manganum - a remedy for growing pains, especially of the lower leg. Also wonderful for middle ear infections either acute or chronic. There might be a whistling tinnitus (ringing in ears).

Podophyllum - another remedy to be thought of for diarrheal conditions where diarrhea is profuse, sputtering/gassy, very offensive odour. Cramps may be present or not. Has also been used for gallbladder colic especially when rubbing over the liver area brings relief. Can be used if appropriate for inflammatory bowel disease, gastroenteritis.

Urtica Urens - has been used primarily for its beneficial effects on conditions of the skin, in urticaria, burns (especially 2nd degree), insect bites/stings and eczema. The skin feels burning/stinging and sensitive. It is also a remedy that has been used to promote lactation when it is deficient.

Veratrum Album - weakness and collapse states, especially with vomiting or diarrheal conditions. Gastroenteritis with simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea. Often intense thirst.


Helios 36 Remedy BASIC kit

Antimonium Tart - useful in respiratory illness such as chest colds, bronchitis where there is rattling from mucous in the chest and a wet cough. The patient while coughing will seem as if it's difficult to cough the mucus up and can even appear to be suffocating on the mucus.

Calc Carb - clinically calc carb is useful in many conditions. Most known for constipation without any urge for stool. There is often frequent colds,

Calendula - can be given for cuts/abrasions/lacerations to promote quick healing and prevent infection, wonderful for pulled muscles to promote healing and reduce pain and great after tooth extractions to stop bleeding and promote healing

Drosera - known predominantly as a cough remedy, drosera can have violent paroxysms of coughing, sometimes so severe the patient cannot catch his breath or becomes cyanotic (blue in the face or lips). Coughing can cause nosebleeds

Kali Bich - a wonderful remedy for sinusitis and colds where the discharge is very stringy, sticky and often yellow or greenish.

Lachesis - often used for sore throats

Lycopodium - a wonderful remedy for a variety of complaints including digestive issues (colic, cramping, gastro, lots of gas, bloating)

Mag Phos - a wonderful remedy for colic of all kinds - gastrointestinal colic, menstrual cramping, etc. Cramping is better with warmth/heat (applications and drinks), pressure/rubbing the affected area, bending double

Phosphorus - another well known remedy phosphorus is used for a variety of complaints including nosebleeds, constipation, diarrhea, coughs and other respiratory issues

Sepia - known for its many uses including prolapse, constipation, varicosities, sagging tissues, hormonal issues, coughs, fatigue and more.

Sulphur - another remedy with many uses sulphur can be used for acute issues such as lingering coughs and flus, skin issues (although seeing a practitioner is advised when dealing with skin issues) and sleeplessness to name just a few. The sulphur patient is warm-blooded, desiring fresh air.


That's all for now!

These symptoms can include: fatigue, lack of appetite and/or nausea, brain fog and/or difficulty concentrating, dizziness, etc.

The easiest way to explain what type of medicine I practice is by saying that it is a mind-body medicine that is completely natural. It inherently recognizes that the body is one system - that the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual are interconnected and thus have impact on each other. It recognizes that our bodies were created with an underlying intelligence or energy that brings balance, health and vitality. Sometimes, for those of us in western cultures, this might sound odd because we have adapted a view of the world that is purely physical or chemical or biological. But this perspective is extremely limited and prevents us from understanding the body and our innate ability to heal. As a Christian, I believe that God created our bodies with an incredible intelligence. He also created the world around us with the ability to provide what we need to heal if we get into a state of dis-ease or imbalance.
