Re: overseas trips with kids

Arnica works great and nux vomica has worked for others in the past well.

There is a premade formula call " Jet lag "

She will be a busy woman! I have used a number of

remedies over the years. Recently I have found using

homeopathic " jet lag " (made in NZ you can get it at

AAA stores) works well for all ages. It is easy for

kids to take. I suggest magneluvres for the mom. There

are some nice glycerites with calming herbs for kids

that help if they are unable to calm down when flying

or with the jetlag. You can find these in the kids

section at New Seasons. You might want to suggest some

sort of immune support for traveling in the winter.

Extra HMF, Emergen C, echinacea in glycerite, sambucca

etc, whatever you and they like.

I pack my own food and find it helps with kids. You

can feed them good food when they are hungry. This

also means you can put them to sleep when they are

tired.

Good luck,
