Thanks Dale,
What would be the remedy of choice if day after day for 21 days, she is hiking up and down trails and varying elevations. She mainly anticipates exhaustion and sore muscles.
What would you suggest?
I will look into the kit, thanks.

Re: Acutes? Elevation and Wilderness First Aid
Arnica is often used for muscles made sore by overwork. But no remedy should be used routinely in the absence of good indications for its need. In situations like this, I worry about people using remedies like painkillers to mask pain -- and overdo it. Better she should pace herself well to build up muscle strength gradually. And don't forget those stretchies!
Peace,
Dale
