Homeopathy can offer some great options for treating jet lag, food poisoning, fear of flying, motion sickness and more. The best part is that you can learn to treat these things by yourself!

These kits are of incredible value for anyone travelling - they are lightweight, contain 36 different remedies which treat a multitude of issues that can crop up during travel and they are safe to use alongside medications. It contains a handy booklet to help you figure out which remedy will be helpful and instructions on how to take the remedies.
