Your Spring First Aid Kit: 3 Homeopathic Essentials for Bites and Sunburns
Spring is in the air! Warmer weather means more time outdoors, but it also comes with its share of annoyances: pesky insects, higher risk of tick bites, and the occasional sunburn.
Luckily, homeopathy is a natural and effective way to address these springtime woes.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is one of my favorite tools for dealing with these common fun-busters.
Homeopathy is a gentle system of energetic medicine that uses ultra-diluted substances to stimulate the body to heal itself.
