Our mode of travel has been completely revolutionized during the last few decades.
Business men and politicians rush around the world and holiday makers are able to visit exotic places that were completely out of reach at the beginning of this century — all due to high speed aircraft.
Modern transport has, however, created additional hazards and because of the swiftness of travel we may not arrive at our destination with a clear head and comfortable body.
Various drugs are available to combat troubles caused by travel but there is a growing awareness that they can produce side-effects even if they can clear up the immediate problem.
Homoeopathy has much to offer in this field and in the majority of cases homoeopathic remedies are more effective than allopathic drugs. The additional advantage is that they have no side-effects whatsoever.
I very much hope that everyone who uses this small book will derive benefit from the information and that travelling will become enjoyable and free from anxieties.
This book has been written in order to provide the traveller with a simple guide to the homoeopathic treatment of many conditions that occur before, during and after a journey. It is suggested that the contents be studied to enable the reader to fully comprehend the scope of the work and thus be prepared to apply the appropriate treatment without delay.
It will be observed that injuries and some minor troubles can be overcome very simply. However, other ailments need more careful attention.
When dealing with troubles such as a stomach upset, headache, sleeplessness etc., the remedy which most closely matches the symptoms of the patient should be administered.
To assist in the selection of the correct remedy the symptoms should be written down under the following headings:-
LOCATION: The spot where there is an ache or pain (e.g., over the left eye; back of head etc., if a headache is being treated).
SENSATION: Describe exactly how it feels (e.g., aching, throbbing, sore, numb etc.).
MODALITIES: Anything that makes the trouble better or worse (e.g., heat, movement, weather, pressure etc.).
CAUSE: If known.
