Helios 36 Homeopathic Remedy Deluxe Family Kit, 30c Potency, Glass Vials, Compact, Robust, Tamper-Proof Case, 75 First-Aid and Illness Situations, Guide Booklet, Online Free Education/Support

My sister and I got this kit from our homeopath, who highly recommended it. I was happy to find this same kit on Amazon (although for a bit more, since our homeopath can order in bulk; unfortunately, she was sold out) so I could acquire it for our Mom. She currently possesses just three remedies and she has used them many times (mostly for our Dad, who seems to get bitten by lots of insects or injure himself while working around the house quite a lot). I thought this would make a fantastic birthday gift for my Mom (and Dad :)) as it will give her many new remedies to experiment with (on my Dad) and won't break her pocketbook (they are both retired). Well, technically my pocketbook since I'm buying it for her! :)My sister and I carry our kits with us everywhere we go and we both use something out of them nearly every day (she has three small children while I have a rather accident prone boyfriend). I also use these on my pets with great success. I am a beginner when it comes to homeopathy and am very overwhelmed by the number of remedies available, and the number of ways to determine which remedy is right for which person for which symptom! But when you get it right, the results are near miraculous. And this kit has the number one go-to remedies for those day to day little dramas that happen to us all, with clear instructions on which remedy to use! Myself, I use the Kali Bich quite often because I am prone to sinus headaches. I used to get rip-roaring migraines on a regular basis {shudder}, but my homeopath cured me of those with a constitutional remedy. But when I feel a little headache start coming on due to sinus, I pop a Kali Bich and it fades and is gone within 30 mins. My boyfriend is a drummer in a very busy rock band, and he used to have sore hands after every single show. Now he feels no pain at all because he dissolves an Arnica pillule under his tongue right after he finishes playing. No swelling, no aching! We both have taken Aconite to successfully ward off colds or general yukkiness when we started to feel a little under the weather.The kit comes with a mini materia medica which explains a little bit about each remedy. You can search the booklet by symptom (bug bite, sore throat, fever, etc) and it will tell you the appropriate remedy or remedies for that symptom. Then you look up those remedies in the back of the booklet to determine which of those remedies is best depending on the person and/or their other symptoms. I have a full size materia medica that I supplement the mini one with, but it was revised in either the 1920's or the 1940's (can't recall which) so the language can be a bit daunting. The mini materia medica helps me understand a bit better.The remedies are very high quality. You only need one pillule, where you need 4-5 of the Boiron brand, which is readily available in health food stores and vitamin shops. I'm not knocking Boiron (I use their stuff too) just mentioning this so you are aware that the tiny little vials will actually last you longer than you might think.

Fantastic item. Typically, each bottle of this type of medicine is $8-10 but this runs under $3 each.Comes with a nice booklet to help you know how to use it listing each medication and its commonly known uses. This is a good kit for traveling because it's very secure against bumps and breakage and it has a good amount of very broad use meds. It should get you through most needs on a trip.Good quality materials. Very clear labeling. Nice display and holder for keeping things organized. I've never had them fall out.

Great little remedy kit. I love that the dose is only 1 little pill.

This kit has been such a great addition to our home remedy collection! So many homeopathy options in one easy to carry kit. The booklet that comes with it helps to guide you when something comes up and you need to dip in to support your family's health quickly. It is nice to have all these options in one case that travels with us easily.

Such a great remedy and great to have it handy at home.

Good back up for use as an emergency kit.Will order another.

I have had this kit for a few months now but waited to write a review till we could properly test it out. The consensus in our family is that we absolutely LOVE this kit- every family should have one. I have 3 kids so there is always someone at home with something. I have used this kit to help everything from colds, sore throats, headaches, tummy aches, pms symptoms, cramps, migraines, sore muscle pain, teething, stage fright, restlessness, stuffy nose, allergy symptoms, post surgery soreness, etc. I recently started gifting these kits to family members. I figure it's something everyone should have in their medicine cabinet- especially if you have kids. Plus this way I dont feel guilty that I'm giving my kids something with tons of side effects. It's not hard to give these to kids - they taste great. My 3 year old actually goes and finds this kit and brings it to me when he's not feeling well and needs some medicine. The great part is that they really are effective, and believe me it's not a placebo effect. I have tested it and I'm picky with my homeopathic medicines and supplements. The key is to read the little booklet they send you with it, it explains all the basics and gets you started. Then they also include a 2nd little booklet that explains plussing- definitely read that- plussing helps sometimes when it's something really strong. Then if you want more information you can do as I did and buy a couple of bigger more in depth homeopathy books, and that explains it all In more detail. Don't ever let anyone tell you homeopathy doesn't work.. it's been around for so long for a reason- it works. :)

I have helped my entire family with this. The perfect size for travel but also carrying the most useful remedies. I have nipped colds in the bud a handful of times starting with my less than 2 year old baby (water remedy). It definitely works although i have always been a believer. Pair it with a good Homeopathy book/Guide and youll have yourself an enemy of big pharma.
