Emergency kit - was Perfect Potency

[Dale Moss]

I have an emergency kit of 50 30c remedies (Washington Homeopathics), one of 100 1M remedies (NHS), and another of 200c remedies that I made. The last is housed in a padded canvas case (for a laptop computer). To keep the remedies organized, I cut a few sheets of heavy canvas to fit the bag and stitched rows of elastic bands on them. The elastic is spaced to hold 1/2 dram vials.
Adding remedies is a pain, because I have to reorganize the kit. But on the whole it works well and it's easy to tell if anything is out of place. It even fits into a small backpack for wilderness. I also use clear elastic -- the type ballet dancers wear to hold up their bodices -- so as not to obscure the labels.
Peace,
Dale

I buy 1000 at a time , packed in 100's from a business stationary store. They are the ones with the white strips on that you can write on. They are called SuperGrip - Grip seal bags with write on panels size 2.25 x 2.25.

Hi,

I have just given up on totally avoiding plastic. It is absolutely everywhere. So depressing. I try not to buy it myself, but the amount of it that surrounds me, my food everything is so much more than these little plastic bags.

I think I searched for 4 mm bags in the internet. They are rare. I got a 1000. I will never need a little bag for the rest of my life. I often send remedies in the mail, so these plastic bags are very helpful. The 4 mm bag have a little extra tabs so it is easy to open the bag. Essential for a sick or old person. My 3mm bags are much more difficult to open and I always send them out with some masking tape sticking out on the edge of the opening of the bag so they can be easily opened.

About organizing remedies, I separate sections of the alphabet. Then leave room in each section. That way I don't have to do a total reorganization just to add a few remedies. This works in any system as long as you have enough space to leave room. The little bags are in one section of the alphabet nilly willy. Each section is in a slightly bigger little bag.. I could have made cloth bags for the sections of the alphabet, but I like keeping my kit airtight.

I had to bring remedies from the States knowing that I would have very little space in Japan. So different potencies are in bags all lined up in alphabetical order. They all have a number and are indexed on a separate paper. If you are a nomad genetically which I seem to be, then this is the way to go. I am ready for any disaster. Only problem is no will know that I am ready.

I have different kits for different activities. The kits are kept in the bag that I bring to the activity. But really, no Japanese I know is interested in Homeopathy. Their health care system is not totally broken. Why should they be? I don't know why I persist. Once in a blue moon it matters to be prepared.

Best,
Ellen

Hi Ellen,
Sounds like a nice system!!
Just for what it's worth, a similar option would be little *paper*
envelopes, such as those used for coins. It sounds like the plastic
ones might be a bit easier to use, but the paper ones are workable too.
(Sound like you may never need them, tho, LOL!)

I use a mixture of systems:
I have a phone book in which I enter the remedy names, randomly
within alphabet letter - and allocate a number. Storage is numerical
in a drawer unit with dividers in the drawers. When I want a remedy,
I check the "phone book" for its number and can go to it very
quickly. This is my main system at home, I hasten to add, not my
travel system.

My travel system is an index card system, in alpha order, with the
bottom end of a wide and short plastic bag (you can adapt nice and
stiff freezer ziplocs to size with clear packing tape - they are nice
and stiff), one to each index card. The index cards are easy to read
for remedy name and potency, and a few divider cards for alpha
sorting can also be added.
One can then add new remedies any time in proper alpha order. I
keep a bunch of ready to use empties and a short pen for labels also
in the index card box - one that snaps shut.

I am an explorer genetically (fascinating research that) - so also
lots of travel......

Namaste,
Irene

I would not do that. Sometimes storage involves condensation........
and paper corners eventually leak...
plastic has its virtues:-)

Love this idea... keep in mind, sunlight can antidote remedies.
I do something similar except I use the coin envelopes found at local office supply store. I ordered small rectangle tins (like mini-candy tins)from Oriental Trading Company to make little flu emergency kits for friends and family members a few years back as Christmas presents. They were a huge hit. I keep one in my purse with my ER remedies.
You can find the tiny plastic bags at a craft store that sells beading supplies.

You could consider filling (empty) Star-Lock (gelatin = rather neutral)
capsules (cheap) with quite a number of globules, mark each capsule
C30/C200/1M (with environment-friendly felt-tip), pack such
remedy-capsules in a coin envelope marked 'Arnica' etc., pack such coin
envelopes in a suitable container (water/air-tight, tin can, bottle,
whatever) - as an emergengy kit. Compact and safe.
Be sure to also have (quite) a number of empty Star-Lock capsules to
dispense (e.g.) 3 globules per capsule.
This is also suitable for sending remedies per snail mail: globules in a
(Star-Lock) capsule, in a coin envelope, in an Air-Craft (air-bubbles)
envelope, (marked 'Breakable'), will survive most postage treatments.
(Or at least they mostly do in this/my part of the world = Europe. About
1 in a hundred gets crushed - so you quickly send a new dose..)

(A long time ago, I used to send remedies in neat little glass tubes,
closed with a cork - and about one in 20 was crushed on arrival. After
doing so for some time, I tested the gelatin capsules-packed remedies
with sure-to-work remedies for quite a number of patients - and this way
of dispensing passed the test without exception.)

Hi Ellen,

Kim at Whole Health Now is teaching in Japan. Perhaps this
could be a connection for you to meet others interested in Homeopathy?
