Homeopathic Travel Kit

Homeopathic medicines have recently expanded in favor and are in use by thousands, if not millions of people today. These preparations are readily available and can be mixed at home or bought in pre-mixed solutions to cure anything from anxiety to cuts and scrapes, to colds and flu. If you are a practitioner of homeopathy, you will have need of a travel kit to meet your needs in common situations while away from home.

Homeopathy has been around since the 18^th century and was conceived and first tested by Samuel Hahnemann. The basic premise of homeopathy is that "like cures like." It is distinguished by preparing low concentrations of substances that cause similar symptoms to those that are wished to be cured. Hahnemann's homeopathic cures worked, he claimed, on what he called the law of similars, which is, in effect, the aforementioned like cures like.

What propelled homeopathy forward was Hahnemann's extensive scientific studies which were all done in strict and standard fashion used by the medical and scientific community today. Those who have followed him, also have done extensive testing. Opponents of homeopathy claim that while the tests do show positive results, they do not provide conclusive evidence and have rarely been reproduced. Recent results from homeopathic studies have been reviewed as encouraging, but not supportive of effective treatment.

The homeopathic solutions are highly diluted liquid substances. They are diluted in either water, sugar, or alcohol. The concentrations are in ratios as low as 1 part to 10 to the 60^th power, or 1: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Scientists argue that such low concentrations cannot even deliver 1 single molecule of substance to a recipient. Homeopaths argue that it is the molecular vibrations and memory patterns held in the dilution that cause their effect.

In any case, if you do use homeopathic cures with success, then a travel kit will help you in your needs. Small, multi use bottles can be used to bring along what you require. Kits can be bought empty or prefilled online or at many retail stores. You should include in your kit the following:
