give you where the kit was of great use, here are
a few:

Luang Prabang, an Israeli got stung by a swerm of
bees all over his head and upper body. I gave him
Apis .
2.In India an indian lady stood
on a rusty nail and i gave her Ledum.
3.A French woman in Laos had
a headache, was restless and had pain in her joints
so i gave her Rhus Tox.
4. An Israeli friend of mine
had Diarreha in India and vomiting and thought he
was going to die. I gave him Aconite.
5. In Thailand an Irish woman
got severly sunburnt on a trek in the north so i
gave her Belladona.
6. I felt nauseous and faint
on a bus ride in Laos from Van Vieng to Van Tien
so I took Nat. Mur.
7.A Canadian girl had an infected
cut and scratches on her shin . I gave her Calendula
orally and in a cream.

Ms.
Mary Aspinwall,
Thank you very much for your quick response. And
I appreciate your offer of a free book on homeopathy.
It
means a great deal to me! As for the Basic
Kit, I have decided to keep it
because there are some products I also need
which are not included in the travel kit. Thank
you very much.
When I first started on
the internet, I quickly began searching for
homeopathy related sites. But I just couldn't find
any that was useful, not to mention online shops!
Now I'm glad that it is becoming more popular here
as well as in all other countries.
Please keep up with your good
work!
Best regards,
Miharu Kunoki

Helios Double Helix
remedy kits have received many favorable reviews in
the press, a few of which are reproduced for you here:

An alternative first-aid kit
by Lesley Turney
(Review of the Basic 18 kit)
Most of us have a bathroom cabinet full
of mainstream remedies such as aspirin, cough mixture and
antiseptic ointment. But how do you treat minor emergencies
if you prefer alternative therapies? Help is at hand in the
form of a homoeopathic first-aid kit. Produced by Helios Homeopathics,
the kit contains18 individual remedies for conditions as diverse
as hemorrhoids and jet lag.
The kit which is small enough to fit in
a handbag (or purse in American English), holds glass bottles
containing the remedies in sucrose pill form. They can
be used on their own or in a variety of combinations where
necessary.
It comes with a comprehensive prescribing
guide and even if the symptoms experienced are not listed
, by cross-referencing to the description of each remedy and
what it does, specific treatments for any symptom can be found.
( "A slight exaggeration!" - Mary)
The kit was designed by practising homoeopaths,
with the intention of making homeopathy accessible to everyone.
John Morgan of Helios, who graduated as an orthodox pharmacist,
before training as a homeopath, says: "People are often
caught off-guard when it comes to treating minor injuries,
which is why this range is specially formulated to cover a
significant proportion of the most common injuries and ailments".
Homeopathy - literally 'similar suffering'
- is a system of medicine based on the principle that a substance
which can produce symptoms in a healthy person can help cure
those symptoms in a sick person, by stimulating the body's
natural healing responses.
For example, a person suffering from hay
fever might be given a remedy prepared form an onion,
because in a healthy person, close contact with onions usually
produces watering eyes and irritation.
The substances are given in minute doses,
which makes them safe to use even in circumstances where the
use of conventional drugs would be inadvisable. It is not
yet understood how homeopathy works, because the remedies
are often so dilute that not even a molecule of the original
substance remains. Skeptics conclude that any beneficial response
is probably due to the placebo effect, but this is unlikely
as homeopathic medicines are particularly effective in the
treatment of young children and animals.
"We think the processes used in making
the medicines leave an imprint of the original substance's
energy pattern in the dilutant, which somehow stimulates the
body's own healing energy to start responding."
Rebecca Mayhew, an accountant from London,
was converted to homeopathy ten years ago, after conventional
medicines failed to stop persistent sneezing. She has been
using a self-prescribing homeopathy kit for several weeks
and says it has come in handy on many occasions.
"I've used remedies to help a friend
who was in pain after an operation, for somebody who was very
unhappy after a relationship broke up and for a baby with
teething pains," says Rebecca, 36. "The kit helped
my husband, Mark, when he had a violent stomach upset and
I treated the whole family when we were on holiday and woke
up with hangovers.
It's very exciting and very useful, although
obviously you have to use it with a degree of care and responsibility."
There are two basic rules recommended by
the kit manufacturers. First, the symptom picture of the illness
or injury should be as closely matched as possible to the
medicine. Second as little medicine as possible should be
used to stimulate the body's own healing mechanism. Doses
should be repeated only if symptoms stop improving or return
after a certain time.
Dr David Murfim, former vice chairman of
the Royal College of General Practitioners says:" People do
become frustrated by conventional medicines and many GPs are
opening their minds to alternatives. Homeopathy is no longer
the taboo that it once was and is available on the National
Health Service.
However the bottom line is that any lumps,
bumps or symptoms which can't be easily explained should be
seen by a professional in the first instance to be on the
safe side."
Director of research at the Royal London
Homeopathic Hospital , Dr Peter Fisher says of the kit:"
It is safe and helpful for minor obvious problems".

Helios Homeopathy Kit for Labour
...this kit has a wide range of remedies
for before, during and after birth. 9 out of 10 marks
That's Life Magazine - June 1998
Kids are Us Page
My Body, My Baby, My Choice
...I got in touch with Valerie Taylor,
an independent midwife. She told me she used a
kit containing 18 homeopathic remedies to treat women
in Labour.
Valerie said it would help me cope
with anxiety and allow my body to deal with labour without
resorting to conventional drugs - at least that was
the idea...
She examined me and found I was about
3cm dilated. At 1:40 she gave me a remedy to help
calm me down. Within half an hour, I felt more
relaxed. At 2:30 I got into the (birthing) pool...
I had another calming remedy at 3am.
Half an hour later I was getting
tired, so I took a tablet to give me an energy boost,
but by 5am the labour had slowed down...
I was given another remedy to bring
on the contractions. They were soon strong and
regular. By 6am, my body seemed to be doing all
the work itself, but the pain was still intense.
Valerie gave me gas and air...
And at 6:33am my son Jason was born,
weighing 8lb 14oz. Putting him to my breast I
felt so proud.
I was back to normal 12 days after
the birth. If I have another child, I'll use homeopathy
again. It's a great alternative that puts the
woman back in control.
"The childbirth kit Rachel
used has 18 remedies to help before, during and after
labour. They can soothe prebirth anxiety, dilate
the cervix, ease exhaustion and aid contractions.
After delivery, they can help speed up the healing process.
If you want to use one, tell your midwife and buy it
early so you and your partner are familiar with it.
It comes with a guide, but it's advisable to check the
uses with your midwife."
