We usually have the habit of preparing our first aid kit with products that we would need in case of a mishap.
Thus, dressings, anti-inflammatories, antiseptics, antihistamines and gauze cannot be missing traditionally.

First aid kits are important for a number of potential situations that don’t require a trip to the hospital or emergency room.
These situations include minor falls, insect bites, burns, allergic reactions, and other common accidents.
Many of us put together a first aid kit only thinking about injury situations, but not about others that would generate well-being.
Putting together a non-traditional first aid kit is as simple as placing, in addition to the basic items, others that will help us in prevention.

Today from Salengei we would like to add other items that you surely had not thought of and that can prevent and/or get you out of trouble without using conventional medications.
Let’s see what it is.

Non-traditional products

Below, we have made a brief list of products, to guide you and tell you some benefits that you could obtain by adding them to what we will call “healthy first aid kit”.
Here we go.

Prebiotics and probiotics with Active Flora

It is well known that when we leave home we change our habits.
The bowel movement habit is one of the most affected because it involves a mechanism that not all people can adapt to a new environment.
In addition to this, our diet is also disrupted because we eat new foods, have dinner at unusual times and eat dishes that are not within those we usually consume.
All this can help to affect our intestinal flora.

And as we have talked about the subject in extenso in other articles, today we will emphasize probiotics again.
Probiotics contain viable organisms, which reach the intestine in an active state, where they exert positive effects on health.
They mostly include lactic acid-producing bacteria and yeasts.
Their mechanisms of action are not yet clear, but they probably modulate the permeability of the mucosal membrane and immune system, keeping pathogens away from the surface of the intestinal mucosa.

Active Flora contains Bifidobacterium lactis, Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus planta rum, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactococus Lacti.

The first week take 4 capsules a day between meals with 1 glass of water or you can open the capsules and pour their contents into a glass of water, shake and drink.
As a maintenance dose, 2 capsules can be taken daily.

Sleep well with Active Sweet Dreams

Active Sweet Dreams contains the necessary extracts so that a person who does not have functional, anatomical or psychiatric problems, can relax, fall asleep more quickly and maintain it without the concomitant use of hypnotics, antidepressants or antihistamines.
It is highly recommended to use it in cases of long trips that involve crossing several time zones.
In this way we will be preventing the famous jetlag that sometimes plays tricks on us in the enjoyment of the first days of vacation.

Active Sweet Dreams is formulated based on melatonin and various traditionally used plants such as valerian, hops, passionflower, lemon balm, recognized for their anxiolytic properties and rhodiola rosea that helps with stress.
In addition, we add griffonia (which provides a very interesting amount of 5-hydroxytryptophan) and L-thianine that promotes relaxation.

The formula is completed by minerals such as magnesium, zinc and vitamin B6, all necessary for the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Prevent symptoms of food histaminosis with DAOSin

Surely it has happened to you that you go to dinner somewhere and after a while the most uncomfortable reactions begin: a feeling of bloating, flatulence, rhinorrhea and even headache.
Was the food bad?
Maybe yes or maybe no.
But it may be because you have a DAO (diamino oxidase) deficiency or food has too many amines and your body takes too long to metabolize it.

Daosin will help us supplement the amount of DAO in our digestive system in order to prevent the symptoms mentioned above.
One or two capsules are taken before meals that you know have a high degree of histamine.
Normally, these foods with a high content of biogenic amines are very seasoned cheeses, or they are prepared with many condiments and other times they are made from game meats (deer, wild boar, etc.).

Avoid cystitis problems with CYSTIPLUS

A fairly common situation, especially among women, is that, due to the change in habits, discomfort or slight urinary infections may occur.
In these cases (and when we already recognize the symptoms) we can use a supplement that has many properties, Cystiplus.

This product manages to meet the typical triad of urinary tract infections:

1. stop bacterial advancement and colonization

2. inhibit and deplete the reproduction of CFUs (colony-forming units)

3. inhibit bacterial adhesion to uroepithelium without the use of synthetic bacterostatic/bactericidal agents

The main components are cranberry extract and D-mannose, which work synergistically to achieve results.
This supplement should be taken in the form of 1 capsule a day for 6 months in cases of prevention.
You need 2 capsules a day every 12 hours if you have the first symptoms.
In known cases of postcoital urinary tract infection, it is advisable to take 1 capsule before or after sexual intercourse and another within the first 12 hours.

Boost the immune system with Immun’Âge

When we think of vacations, most of us dream of sunny beaches and hot places, but the truth is that some of you take the opportunity to visit family on the other side of the globe, where the temperatures are totally opposite.
In these cases it is a very good idea to have some Immun ́Âge sachets on hand.

This product, developed by the prestigious Japanese laboratory Osato, is made from a patented process that uses fermented papaya extract.
By taking 1 to 3 sachets daily, we will be naturally strengthening our immune system, while neutralizing a huge amount of free radicals capable of producing oxidation damage.

Reduce stress with Active Stress Control

In the previous post, we referred to the stress that can be caused by both the preparation of our vacations, as well as being on vacation.
That is why, as a way of briefly refreshing this topic, we recommend Active Stress Control.

This dietary supplement contains DHA and B vitamin complex, both indicated to relieve symptoms associated with stress, tiredness and fatigue.
It contains Omega-3 fatty acids from cold-extracted fish oil (76% DHA in the form of triglycerides) and B vitamins. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision.

We can say little more that you have not already read in our article, but we can add that this product should be a must in the healthy medicine cabinet.

Conclusion

So far we have tried to help you prepare a first aid kit that, in addition to the most common products, adds others that continue with our strategy of disease prevention and health promotion, and to this we could add the promotion of well-being.

We sincerely hope that those who are already preparing for the holidays can take note of our advice and enjoy the summer days to the fullest.
Those who have already returned, who continue in the line of preserving their health and those who take them later, can continue reading our health tips.

We wish you an August full of happiness and relaxation.
