It may not be the greatest year for
skiing or snowboarding in various locations around the North America. For
those of you who have found the sweet spots for snow fall there are some
great wholistic tips that will make your experience fuller and
healthier.
As a skier and the mother of two
teenagers ski racers, there are several things I would not head to
the ski hill without.
1. A homotonic remedy (a remedy that is known to treat a specific trauma) to help clear and heal any kind of head or neck trauma. You can use any combination of hellaborus,
Natrum sulphuricum, cimicifuga, and of course arnica the catch all for
any bruising or trauma. Use at least in a 200 ch potency. Traumeel is a popular and readily available homotonic.
2. Shock or fear remedy. When you do happen to have an accident of some sort, you will be in shock after guaranteed. Aconite is the main shock remedy in homeopathy.
3. Protein
bars that are healthy and nutritious. At the moment Cliff Bars are our
favorite and in particular their chocolate mint! If you are on the hill
and the sun is shining and the snow is just right you don't want to stop
to eat. So having something in your pocket that will allow you to spend
a couple more hours on the hill instead of the chalet all the better.
4. Sunscreen and the other products to protect
your skin from the sun and wind. There is nothing worse than heading
home after a fabulous day on the hill only to realize that you did not
protect your face from the wind, cold or sun. Clean sunscreens that I like are by Green Beaver and Mexitan. Lip balms such as Eco Lips are great and have a high enough SPF
to keep you from burning, yet allow the healthy D vitamins in! If you
have not protected yourself well enough and you do develop a sun or wind
burn, and even frostbite, then creams with aloe, chamomile and lavender will
help ease the pain. Homeopathic remedies like like Sol, Hypericum and Agaricus will help remove the damage and allow your body to repair itself fully.
