What's In Your Summer Medicine Chest?

By Dr. Weil

When enjoying the outdoors this season, be prepared to protect yourself against common summer ailments. I have found the following to be naturally effective in preventing and treating a variety of summer afflictions:
  1. Ginger: This may prevent motion sickness or nausea from other causes.
  2. Stinging Nettles: By far the best remedy I know for hay fever.
  3. Arnica: The tincture of this plant when rubbed onto an injured body part can help relieve the pain and tenderness of sprains and sore muscles (do not take arnica internally unless in the form of a homeopathic remedy).
  4. Bromelain: Promotes the healing of soft-tissue injuries, such as sprains and bruises.
  5. Geraniol: Products made with this oil are an effective way to protect yourself from mosquitoes.
  6. Tecnu: Helps prevent rashes from poison oak, ivy and sumac.
  7. Aloe Vera: For sunburn, thermal burns and any areas of skin irritation or inflammation.
Have a Healthy and Successful Day!
