My husband and son are flying out today for my son’s first college campus visit. This will be my son’s first time on a plane. I plan on sending along with them homeopathy for the fear of flying, in-plane comfort, and the x-rays they will be exposed to at the airport.

While my son isn’t scared, many people fear flying. It can be related to the fear of closed spaces, heights, death, panic attacks, motion sickness, the dark, being over water, crowded places, turbulence, landing, or simply feeling out of control. Basically, it’s just a lot of fear. It is enough to send someone into a tailspin with anxiety, palpitations, and profuse sweating.

Homeopathy Can Conquer the Fear of Flying

The good news is that homeopathy can help people combat the fear of flying.  Acute remedies can be prescribed to help bring relief before and during the flight experience. Many homeopathic remedies can be used to help combat the fear of flying, and here are a few examples.

1. Argentum nit- The person is very anxious and restless and has diarrhea. They worry, “What if the plane crashes?”.  The fear is more related to heights and or claustrophobia. They feel worse for heat and crowds and better for open air.
2. Aconite- Complete terror and panic and fear of death. They feel they “know the plane will crash.” The fear can suddenly appear before or during the flight.
3. Arsenicum- The traveler is restless. They cannot bear to be alone and need constant reassurance that they will survive the flight. The main fear here is a fear of death.  It feels better when around people.
4. Gelsemium- The person will tremble with anxiety and panic. Their muscles feel weak and heavy.
5. Nux Vomica- Excessive impatience and anger while kept waiting. Stimulants such as coffee and alcohol make the anxiety worse.

Homeopathy for In-Plane Comfort

When you fly in a commercial airliner, you travel at over 450mph! This unnatural and violent force upon your body can take its toll. The effects of flying are sometimes felt as a dull, bruised soreness or a feeling that you have been run over by a truck, adding to the discomfort or fatigue, also known as jet lag.

• Arnica 30c- Once or twice during the flight or three doses over the 24 hours after the flight can soothe the adverse effects of plane travel. It is wonderful because it not only helps with the fear of flying, it helps to adjust to jet lag.

People who suffer from colds, allergies, or chronic sinus troubles may experience ear pain during air travel, especially during the descent into landing. This is caused by air pressure changes inside the plane’s cabin. Sudden increased pressure can put severe stress on your eardrums. However, if the Eustachian tube is plugged, the resulting uneven pressure can cause pain and even rupture of the eardrum.

• Kali mur 30c- Two doses before the flight may be able to open up the blockage and prevent earache during the flight. Also, it might be worth the time to visit with a homeopath about treatment for chronic respiratory infections.

In addition to the re-circulated air in the plane’s cabin, insecticides are used to prevent lice and other pests. These poisons can cause a host of complaints. Some folks get dry eyes, itchy eyes, dry or stopped-up nose, and other respiratory irritations from the dirty cabin air you breathe while in flight.

• Nux vom 30c or Bryonia alba 30c- One dose before the flight and one dose when you get off the flight may be helpful with the symptoms of dry, itchy eyes and dry or stopped nose.

Homeopathy for X-Rays

Scans and X-rays are harmful to your health. It is tempting to pass quickly through the invasive scanner due to time considerations. You are already being exposed to more cosmic radiation by flying at high altitudes (flying at night exposes you to less, by the way). Always ask to be patted down in lieu of being scanned. You have the right to opt out of the scanners. Your health will thank you for it when you do. However, I don’t expect my son or husband to opt-out. They’re just not that worried about it. But I have homeopathy, so I don’t need to worry!

• X-ray 30c-A dose or two helps to undo the effects of scans and the increased exposure to cosmic radiation. Homeopathic X-ray can act as an antidote to the exposures and help your body overcome their effects and heal itself again. Take several doses over a day or two. My holistic dentist gives a dose of X-ray in her office after dental X-rays.

Protecting Your Remedies

1. Leave liquid homeopathic remedies at home. Liquid homeopathic remedies are more susceptible to becoming damaged by influences in their environment. They can be antidoted from being X-rayed. Add to that strict Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations in the US about “open bottles with liquid,” you most likely won’t be able to bring them on the plane with you anyway!
2. Bring pellets. If you need to take any remedies while flying, bring them on the plane with you in pellet form. Pellets are more resistant to the effects of vibrations, ultrasounds, and X-rays. However, repeated exposure to these fields will not only weaken them but can eventually render them totally ineffective as well. Bring your remedy bottles and have them hand-searched at check-in. Not only will that help to protect them, but you now have an opportunity to share all about homeopathy.
3. If you will be gone for extended periods, consider mailing your remedies to your intended location.
4. Consider that homeopathy is a well-known and accepted form of medicine in many countries. Most European countries, including India, Australia, Canada, and the United States, will have at least some access to homeopathic pharmacies. Use the internet to search your destination to see if homeopathic pharmacies or stores sell homeopathic remedies.
5. Put your remedies into a Faraday bag (like the ones found here). These bags offer nearly complete protection from the harmful effects of EMFs and microwave radiation and will give your liquid and pellet remedies an extra layer of protection.

Enjoy More; Worry Less

I am rather jealous of my husband getting to experience all of these “firsts” with our son. But I don’t love flying, and I’m glad I don’t have to do it. I will be sending these remedies to help. Homeopathy for fear of flying, in-plane comfort, and X-rays truly help this mama to worry less.
