It’s not practical to bring an entire medicine cabinet along on every getaway, but it is important to be prepared no matter where you go. Motion sickness, tummy upsets, and the flu are just a few of the many health issues that can follow you on vacation. Cruise ships and resorts don’t always carry medicine, and the last thing you want to do is go searching for the nearest local drugstore when you’re sick and away from home.

If you plan to travel this summer, a carefully curated first aid kit can serve you and your family well in any situation. So, grab your bags and get ready to pack these homeopathic essentials before your next trip.
