During the summer holidays, it is a good idea to have a small first aid kit to hand. Having the essential homeopathic remedies in our first aid kit will enable us to be ready for any unforeseen circumstance.
These homeopathic medicines can be used for treating insect bites, burns, bruises, muscle pain and travel sickness.
