Try these natural health remedies the next time you’re unwell on vacation - SilverKris

"A Dubai-based Ayurvedic clinic, represented by Dr Asha Jones, offers practical natural remedies for common traveller ailments — travellers’ tummy, vomiting, fever, jet lag, post-travel swelling and lower back pain — that can be prepared by hotels or with supermarket ingredients. For digestive upsets she recommends mixing lemon juice with ginger juice and taking curry-leaf paste (alone or with buttermilk), plus longer-term supports such as Triphala tea, dandelion root and psyllium husks (all also available in capsule form for travel). To control nausea and vomiting the clinic advises ginger decoction or chewing ginger, mint or cloves, and sipping a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon in warm water. For fever it recommends a decoction of dried ginger and black pepper taken three times daily, cinnamon in honey, and boiled cumin-seed water as an antiseptic. To relieve jet lag and aid sleep the advice includes massages or applying coconut oil to the head/body (or soles of the feet), warm cinnamon milk or half a teaspoon of nutmeg in honey. For swelling and backache the guidance is to get a massage, use warm salt foot soaks, hot fomentation with eucalyptus or camphor, and anti-inflammatory oils (mustard, coconut, sesame) plus gentle stretching; preventive tips stress hydration, easy-to-digest whole foods, probiotics and digestive enzymes before meals." - SilverKris
