Homeopathic First Aid Kits for Camping: Quickly Restore Comfort (after Bugs, Bruises, and Burns Do Their Worst)
When you're camping, you may not want to carry the entire contents of your medicine cabinet. It's easier to create a tiny kit with sleep aids, flu fighters, insect-bite calmers, burn (both sun and fire) soothers, and things to keep inevitable cuts, scrapes and bruises stress and infection free.
Time & Location

About the Event
Nothing can spoil a holiday faster than not having needed first aid or health care supplies when someone gets a sore throat, is stung by a bee, or has some other kind of injury or illness. Kept alive through word-of-mouth, mostly by mothers (who like being able to get back to sleep in 10 minutes when a child is cranky from a stuffy nose), homeopathic remedies are durable, non-toxic, lightweight, inexpensive, pack small, and have no side effects.
If you get the remedy wrong, you’ll know within 10 minutes and can try again. But if you choose a remedy which is close enough to right, things start to feel better within the first 10 minutes after taking - you guessed it - a little sugar pill. Very few children (of any age) resist putting a sugar pill under their tongues! And if they do, there are other delivery options.
Homeopathic remedies don’t make sense in Cartesian physics and biology; however, they do have a great deal of science supporting their effectiveness in quantum physics and biophysics (and I have lists of research evidence from medical journals, available on request). And for first aid purposes, it’s easy to choose a remedy close enough to make a big difference to falling asleep after a sunburn, or recovering quickly from heat stroke, or getting the mosquito itching backed off.
If you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase a small homeopathic camping kit to help keep your family’s holiday as fun as possible.
Meet at the picnic shelter at the north end of the pond! Please be aware that this is a scent-free event, and come prepared: https://drive.proton.me/urls/MJDRRY8H8R#ScmsMelqFp41.
