Summer has become a synonym for the outdoors! It is such a short period of time that we want to get the most out of it: meals, walks, games…we don’t want to miss anything! Unfortunately, health problems are around the corner and they do not spare us. Thus, to keep in shape and to enjoy every moment this summer, here are some recommendations to avoid inconveniences or relieve any discomforts. Otitis, tonsillitis, conjunctivitis and any other ‘itis’ conditions; redness, heat and pain that can immobilize us for hours; infections and suppuration: avoid complications! One of Dr. Reckeweg’s most popular complex, R1, will clear any inflammatory disorder, for adults as well as for children. Pools, as well as sandboxes are among the favorite areas for all kinds of viruses, bacteria and other pathogenic organisms, that will rapidly affect children or even you. Let’s not forget insect bites. R1 is not only very efficient when the disease is declared but can also be used at the first appearance of symptoms to stall the inflammatory process or even as a preventative in case of contact with an infected person.

Outdoor games are also synonym of pain, being a bike or roller-blades fall or falling while running… Whether it is a fracture, a sprain, a cut, a scratch or any trauma, R55 will help not only to ease the pain, but will facilitate and accelerate the healing! In cases of external injuries, apply R30 as a topical agent or R94 diluted in some water (preferably other than tap water) in a 1:10 ratio before applying it to a wound, otherwise, ouch, ouch, ouch, a burning sensation! This will disinfect and favor the healing process. Another hidden virtue of R94: it is an excellent insect repellant.

Besides its post-traumatic action, R55 has anti- aching properties; after any excessive physical effort or even better, take it before a sporting event and say bye, bye to muscular pain! A few drops in your water bottle and you are ready to go (this trick is also good after a long day spent gardening or when starting a training program)! If the case is a muscular injury or hematoma, a massage with R80 arnica oil will tenfold the effect of R55. Furthermore, it acts on the arterial system, regulates blood circulation and reduces the inflammation (consequently very efficient to soothe heavy legs!).

R30 Universal ointment is essential: apply it to small cuts, bruises, sunburns and chapped lips! As a massage, it will take care of all kinds of pains: sciatica, rheumatism, back pain, aching. Almost all skin eruptions will benefit from its soothing effect, from eczema to heat rash, and finally insect bites…Furthermore, it can be used in case of respiratory infections!!!

The therapeutic cream MSM Rejuvenator contains nutrients, medicinal plants and essential oils, which protect and maintain the skin! It will not only soothe sunburns but it can also be used as a solar protector: Ester CÒ topical blocks UVA and UVB rays and prevents collagen and elastin damage due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Ester CÒ penetrates the skin and its protective effects resist water and can last up to 3 days! It is also efficient for the majority of skin problems and turns out to be an excellent facial cream or it can also be used for the whole body…especially feet and elbows!

Have those activities made you tired? Need a little boost? Try the V-C15F, a tonic containing Ginseng, thiamin, riboflavin and ascorbic acid as well as homeopathic remedies. Whether you use it before a big day of work, a sporting event or any other stressful situation or when additional endurance is needed, one drinkable ampoule and you’re all set!
Have a good summer and have fun!
