We thought it would be helpful to share some homeopathic remedies that might be helpful for this time of year:

Apis melifica – great for bites, stings, heat rash, puffy ankles where there is redness and swelling.

Carbo-veg – for heat exhaustion or fainting, wants to have air or to be fanned.

Hepar sulph – for infections or infected wounds where there may be pus and tenderness or hypersensitivity.

Ipecacuahana – nausea and vomiting that doesn’t improve after vomiting.

Ledum – good for puncture wounds including bites.

Natrum muriaticum – holiday constipation.

Nux vomica – this remedy is ideal for over indulgences, including hangovers. Also stomach upsets.
