Travel for work? Hitting the road soon for business or pleasure? Take a look at Earth Clinic's suggestions for how to stay naturally healthy while on the road!

When you travel, your body is under more stress than usual due to the travel itself but also due to new pathogens in an unusual environment. Your water might not be safe from viruses or bacteria. Your food may be in a style your digestive system is unaccustomed to and unprepared to digest easily. And if you are traveling on public transportation of any kind, you will be contained in an area where airborne viruses continually recirculate, increasing your exposure to illness-creating critters.

Having a trustworthy way to treat water for pathogens and a natural remedy for food sickness can be essential, especially when traveling abroad. Natural immune boosters are a good idea as well. Good habits and natural options to kill germs that you pick up through contact can serve you particularly well to protect your health.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy on the go:

I drove 500 miles by myself on Wednesday and Friday of this week. (I went to visit my dad.)

Driving for many hours really aggravates my back and neck. I am not the most relaxed driver so I tense up, especially in traffic. I also find that sitting in a car puts my back into a less than ideal stationary position for many long hours.

So I arrived at my destination stiff and sore. However, I had the option for shower as long as I wanted. Now, I love a long hot shower and it does loosen me up. BUT, hot showers are not helpful to inflammation. Cool showers are, however.

So I alternated the water temp. I started with a very comfortable warm shower and when I was warmed up I would change the water to cool and let it hit my back. I went back and forth between the two multiple times.

I felt much much better after my shower.

This will, of course, work at home too for back pain and stiffness. :)
