Your Natural Summer Survival Kit
For many of us, the summer months are our favourite time to go on holiday. In fact, it was estimated that we took 46.2 million holidays in 2006*. But whilst many seek solace from a summer break, travel traumas and holiday hiccups can spoil our fun. These saviours can take the strain out of the summer and make it even more enjoyable.Travel traumas
Holidays are a great way to unwind, yet more than 40% of us have a fear of flying**. If your fears replace the excitement of going away, try the Bach Original Flower Remedy Mimulus to combat anxiety in the build up to your trip. And if the kids are running riot and your last minute packing has left you puffing, keep a travel-sized 7ml bottle of Rescue Remedy spray with you on the flight to regain your inner calm.
If travel sickness spoils your trip, be it from a car, plane or boat, try Nelsons’ Travella to gently relieve the symptoms of motion sickness. Nelsons Travella is a safe, non drowsy, natural treatment for all the family.
