Travel Troubleshooting: What to Pack for Late Summer Getaways
Booked a spontaneous summer break? Whether you're heading abroad or exploring the Irish coast, make sure you're prepared for the most common travel health hiccups. From digestive upsets to insect bites and sleep disruption, here’s your late-summer checklist for smooth sailing.
💊 Digestive Support for Holiday Tummies
Change in food, climate or routine can easily trigger tummy troubles. Keep Dioralyte sachets on hand to rehydrate after a bout of illness, Imodium for sudden diarrhoea, and probiotics like our PharmaBiotic sachets to support your gut during the trip. These are small but mighty additions to your case!
🦟 Bug Bite & Allergy Relief
Late summer still means mozzies, midges and allergy triggers. Eurax cream can help ease itching from bites or rashes, and Piriton antihistamines are a must-have for allergy-prone travellers. Toss in a few plasters too — just in case.
🌊 Motion Sickness? No Problem.
Car journeys, boat trips, or windy flights — travel sickness can strike anytime. Stugeron tablets and Sea Bands (natural acupressure wristbands) are popular picks to help settle the queasiness.
🌙 Sleep Support for Restless Nights
Time zone change? Noisy hotel? Broken routine? Wind down with lavender sleep sprays or try a natural sleep aid like melatonin alternatives (such as magnesium or calming herbal blends). A little prep can help you wake up refreshed.
