Your family-friendly guide to handling travel sickness, nerves, jet lag & more — the natural way!


ree

We’ve all been there.You’re packing bags, printing boarding passes, making snacks, and suddenly someone says it:“Mum, I feel sick…”Or worse:“I’M TOO EXCITED TO SLEEP!”


Whether it’s the toddler who’s over-tired on the plane or your own nerves kicking in at 2 AM before a flight — travel is an adventure, and sometimes that includes a few bumpy moments. But don’t worry — nature has your back!

From motion sickness to meltdowns, here’s your parent-friendly, carry-on-sized guide to natural remedies that can help your whole family travel smoother.



1. Motion Sickness & Jet Lag


When the ride gets wobbly (and everyone’s snack stash is at risk)


🌿 Cocculus

This is the one for motion sickness. Think: dizziness, nausea, and that horrible “I need to lie down or I’m going to cry” feeling. Also amazing for jet lag, especially when your sleep’s gone out the window.


✅ Great for: kids in the back seat, ferry rides, and anyone who feels worse after lack of sleep.


🌿 Argentum Nitricum

Nervous belly before take-off? This one’s for the “what if” thinkers — fast-talking, restless, tummy-troubled flyers. Also perfect for little ones who get jittery the day before travel.


✅ Great for: anxious flyers, kids with pre-travel tummy aches, and anyone overthinking the journey.


🌿 Gelsemium

Feel heavy, weak, and foggy before a trip? This remedy fits when nerves make you want to hide under the covers and pretend you're not leaving. Slow, shaky, and emotionally flat — Gelsemium is your chill-out button.


✅ Great for: exhausted travellers, introverted kids, and anyone dreading the departure.


2. Travel Anxiety, Meltdowns & Over-Excitement

For nervous parents, clingy kids, and toddlers who are way too pumped for Disneyland


🌿 Pulsatilla

A go-to for sweet, sensitive types who don’t want to be left alone. These are the children (and adults) who ask for extra hugs, get weepy in new places, and really want mum or dad close by.


✅ Great for: shy travellers, kids who miss home, or those who need LOTS of reassurance.


🌿 Chamomilla

The ultimate grumpy toddler on a plane remedy. When nothing is right and EVERYTHING is annoying, Chamomilla helps soothe cranky, overtired children (and frazzled parents too).


✅ Great for: tantrums, teething pain, and overtired frustration during travel.


🌿 Passiflora

A gentle, herbal calm-down. Think of it like a bedtime story in a bottle. It helps quiet racing minds and ease your child into sleep, even in a new bed, hotel room, or busy travel day.


✅ Great for: restless sleepers, winding down after long days, or helping kids settle on planes or in unfamiliar beds.


🌿 Arianium tella (child-friendly blend)

This one’s lovely for helping children relax and sleep — especially those who are overstimulated from the day’s adventures and struggle to switch off. Sweet dreams, here we come.


✅ Great for: kids who are overtired but wired, or those who resist sleep in new environments.


🌿 Coffea

Ever had a child so excited they just can’t sleep? Or maybe it’s you, lying awake thinking about every possible thing that might go wrong tomorrow. Coffea is for over-excitement, overthinking, and wired-but-tired brains.


✅ Great for: the night before big trips, birthdays, or exciting adventures.


3. Nervous System Support

Because being the trip planner, snack packer, navigator, and sleep negotiator is a lot.

Let’s be honest: travelling with kids can be a full-body workout for your nervous system. These two natural remedies are here to help you stay grounded, calm, and sane — even if someone’s just spilled juice in your carry-on.


🌿 Avena Sativa (Oatstraw)

Gentle, nourishing, and balancing. This herb is like a soft, warm blanket for your frazzled nervous system. Take it as a tincture or tea — it helps with exhaustion and that “running on fumes” feeling.


✅ Great for: parents running on coffee and adrenaline, anyone feeling burnt out or overwhelmed.


🌿 Kali Phos (Tissue Salt #6)

Known as the nerve cell salt, Kali Phos is wonderful for mental fatigue, stress, and overwhelm. Think of it as a natural nerve food — especially when you’re short on sleep and patience.


✅ Great for: tired parents, jet-lagged brains, and anyone who needs a calm focus boost.


✨Quick Travel Tips from a Natural-Remedy-Loving Mum:


  • Start early: Give remedies a day or two before travelling if possible.

  • Make a mini kit: Pack 4–6 top remedies in a pouch for easy access.

  • Hydrate & snack smart: A hangry kid (or adult) is never fun.

  • Stick to rituals: A familiar bedtime story or essential oil can ease transitions.

  • Make it fun! Let kids “pack” their own mini remedy kits (with your help).


🌈 Travel with Confidence, Naturally

Travelling with your family doesn’t have to be chaos and crackers crushed into car seats. With the right natural supports, you can help everyone feel calmer, more comfortable, and better rested — so you can focus on making magical memories (and maybe even enjoy your coffee while it’s still warm).


Safe travels, brave adventurer. You’ve got this — and nature’s got you. 🌿💼💚
