As summer approaches, many Americans are eager to embark on road trips. To ensure a healthy journey, there are some natural remedies for common travel ailments.
Four Natural Ways to Improve Your Summer Road Trip
Pain Relief with Turmeric: Turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties can help alleviate pain, comparable to ibuprofen for knee osteoarthritis. It's advisable to carry it during hikes.
Natural Heartburn Relief: DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated licorice) can soothe heartburn by increasing throat mucous coating and is available in chewable tablets. (Why deglycyrrhizinated? Glycyrrhizin is a compound found in licorice that can cause side effects such as water retention, high blood pressure, and low potassium levels. So you can choose DGL licorice and play it safe.)
Stay Hydrated to Combat Fatigue: Dehydration can lead to fatigue and other symptoms. It's recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water daily while traveling.
Elderberry for Immune Support: Taking elderberry before and during travel can shorten cold duration and reduce symptoms, making it a valuable addition to your travel kit.
Add some Pure Elderberry Extract to your favorite fizzy drink and elevate your next vacation experience. Club Soda and lime might never be the same. Tonic Water and Elderberry? Wow.
