eh oui je vais encore comme bcp, demander conseils par rapport aux traitements homeo, pour remplacer les vaccins!!😛(mais je ne demande pas de reaction anti homeo, juste ceux qui l'ont utilisé et qui peuvent nous aiguiller!merci)
Je pars avec mon compagnon en Mai pour l'afrik, on a decide d'aller en mauritanie puis de traverser jusqu'en Ethiopie...donc on traverse des pays a zones vraiments" infestées" de maladies!!
on aimerait savoir si il yen a parmi vous qui peuvent nous dire, en ayant fait l'experience par exemple, quels sont les meilleurs traitements homéo(huiles essentielles, plantes chinoises...) qui font leur preuves une fois sur place!Quels sont les preventions indispensables ou utiles ...???
Nous avonc l'intention de faire le vaccin obligatoire de la fievre jaune, mais pour tout le reste, genre palu et autre(d'ailleurs quels sont les autres utiles??) nous voulons utiliser des methodes naturelles.notre corps est habitué a se defendre tout seul comme un grand depuis pas mal d'annees!
Ah oui, pour les filles! en ce qui concerne les infections urinaires!!moi, j'en ai eu lors d' un voyage en Asie, et j'en ai refait en france (une fois ) que j'ai soignée par homeo!si vous avez des conseils pour eviter d'en avoir d'autres et si vous pouvez m'expliquer pourquoi elles apparaissent plus facilement a l'etranger..?merci
Il n'existe pas de traitement homéo pour remplacer les vaccins.
J'utise régulièrement l'homéo et les huiles essentielles pour soigner mais il n'y a pas de" remède miracle" et si ton corps est habitué à se défendre tout seul, c'est encore la meilleure prévention avec une bonne hygiène.
La rue en France et surtout les hopitaux sont eux aussi infestés de maladies.
Pour le palu, il faut utiliser des répulsifs et voir sur place lequel est le plus efficace.En huiles, le mélange suivant est efficace:
1/3 eucalyptus citroné
1/3 citronelle
1/3 géranium bourbon
Pour les bobos qui s'infectent facilement avec la chaleur:
Laurier noble et hélichryse italicum
Pour les coups de soleil:
lavande
Pour les maux de têtes dus à la chaleur:
menthe poivrée sur le front mais attention à ne pas toucher les yeux ( ça pique!!)
Pour les touritas:
PO CHAI PILLS (remède chinois)
Pour les infections urinaires:
boire beaucoup (eau en bouteille ou bouillie au moins 15 minutes) et prendre de la teinture mère de pillosella à la moindre alerte
J'èspère que ces conseils t'aideront.
Bon voyage
En complément de la réponse de Litchie, voici les références d'un livre sur les huiles essentielles que je trouve bien fait (enfin, moi je m'en sers souvent🙂): "les huiles essentielles et comment les utiliser" de Rodolphe BALZ. Je pense que tu devrais le trouver dans les magasins bio.
Pour les problèmes de cystite, ou ce genre, je ne pars jamais en voyage sans Uva Ursis des laboratoires Lehning. Dès les premières sensations désagréables 10 gouttes dans un peu d'eau, à renouveler (demande conseils au pharmacien pour savoir combien de temps tu peux l'utiliser, pour moi en 2 ou 3 prises ça a toujours suffit). alors bon voyage😄😄. A+ Fadièse
D'accord avec toi Fadièse, les complexe homéo Lehning marchent bien et aussi leur L.107 dans les gastros et autres tourista. Ceci dit le vaccin contre la fièvre jaune est obligatoire. Et est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà pu se prémunir efficacement contre la malaria avec des médecines douces ? Eloigner les moustiques avec des huiles essentielles d'accord mais ça ne peut que limiter les piqures, surtout nocturnes. Ca m'intéresse, merci de partager votre expérience.
j'ai vu une discussion sur le site a propos de ARTEMISIA (absinthe chinoise)contre le palu.plante capable de guérir du palu, mais pas preventive aparemment!.?il parait (lu ds le forum) que Sonia Poussin en a utilisé, donc c'etait en prevention???je ne comprends plus ...
je lui ai envoyé un mail, savez vous si elle repond?
merci bien!
et sinon, quels vaccins avez vous faits pour l'afrik?(je m'adresse a ceux qui evitent le plus possible les vaccins!)
En ce qui concerne l'ARTEMISIA (absinthe chinoise) il y a des infos sur le site : http://www.univers-nature.com/sante-nature/artemisia-paludisme.html (merci Lepiaf!!!)
Toutefois, il n'est pas facile (au Québec) de trouver cette plante en teinture-mère et je crois que je vais devoir la faire moi-même...
Puisque je ne prendrai pas de médications contre le palu lorsque j'irai en Inde d'ici quelques mois (huile essentielles contre moustique + moustiquaire la nuit) je crois que je vais l'essayer... j'ai rien à perdre...
et si je chope quelque chose j'irais rapidement dans un hopital indien (hummmm...) en espérant que tout aille bien !
en fait je viens de voir que cette plante n'est utilisée que a titre curatif et non preventif!!!
et qu'elle est utilisée pour soigner les populations sur places mais pas les voyageurs! d'apres les dires d'un "forumiste" du site!
mais tu sais en Inde, il n'y a pas besoin de traitement, enfin d'apres moi, et d'apres mon experience(qui est de 3 mois dans le Nord de l'Inde)!ou pars tu exactement?
Moi aussi j'ai découvert (après avoir répondu à ton message😕) que cette plante est curative et qu'elle peut même être toxique..(selon certains)... Toutefois, dans mon encyclo des plantes médicinales il est inscrit : qu'elle réduit les risques de développement du paludisme et en favorise la guérison. Elle détruit les agents résistant aux médicaments antipaludéens... La teinture est prescrite pour prévenir le palu et est également efficace contre la maladie elle-même...
Bon là je suis un peu confuse, qui croire ? Demain je vais travailler et je vais demander aux herboristes, naturopathes et aromathérapeutes ce qu'ils en pensent.. on ne perd rien !
Pour le reste, mon copain et moi partons pour un voyage de 4 mois à la fin de l'année. 3 mois en inde et 1 au Sri Lanka (itinéraire non fixe puisqu'il reste plusieurs mois avant le départ!!!😉) mais on a déjà hâte de partir!!!
Je n'ai jamais dit que le traitement à l'artemisia était préventif, j'ai même écrit récemment qu'il n'existait pas de traitement préventif du palu en médecine alternative.
ce n'est pas toi qui a dit ca !c'est un autre" forumiste".je le cite:
ATTENTION!
Artemisia Annua est efficace à titre curatif et non préventif contre des formes graves de paludisme (en particulier contre Plasmodium falciparum devenu en de nombreux endroits résistants aux médicaments classiques). C'est donc une alternative simple à la portée des populations soumises à ce fléau mais pas pour les voyageurs "sains".
par contre je viens de lire la page web que tu as mis, c'est tres interressant!as tu essaye de leur envoyer un mail? car ils mettent leur contact!sinon as tu demande a un medecin ou en pharmacie? je ne sais pas si ca existe en france! a mon avis c'est ca le probleme!
je vais me renseigner aujourdhui!
au fait ! personne n'a repondu a ma question: quels sont les vaccins que vous avez pris pour l'afrik (pays de mauritanie a ethiopie)? ceux qui voulaient faire le strict minimum?!
Je suis partie faire le tour de l'Asie pendant un an, et du coup je suis passée chez mon dentiste avant de partir. Petit changement de plombage, je pars…
Je pars à la fin du mois au Nepal. A part les grandes villes dans lesquelles je sais que je n'aurai pas besoin de moustiquaire, durant mon périple, je compte…

Après avoir lu un peu sur divers sujet sur l'Inde, une discussion revient souvent a propos des anti-moustiques. Est-ce si pire que ça? Nous comptons faire le…
I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
