I’m not a doctor and, therefore, am not making recommendations on what should be in your first aid kit. Maya Made’s choices gave me a good list to consider; from that I made my own shopping list to supplement what’s already in my medicine cabinet.
- Arnica Spray: external use for muscle aches and pains, as well as bruises from falls
- Arnica Montana Pellets: dissolves in the mouth for reducing pain, swelling, and discoloration from bruises
- Burt’s Bees Res-Q Ointment: aids in healing wounds, cuts, burns and bruises
- Rescue Remedy: for relief of occasional stress or anxiety
- EcoGuard Bandages: latex-free
- Desert Essence Towelettes: contains lavender, tea tree, and palmarosa
- Neosporin: antibiotic ointment
- Tylenol
- Aloe Vera Ointment: for minor cuts, burns, insect bites, irritations, and sunburn

Maya Made provides a tutorial for making a first-aid envelope, including an adaptation for using it with a belt. I have a small bag previously made using a pattern from Amy Karol’s book Bend the Rules and am using that instead. Everything tucks quite neatly inside.

Such a good idea to have on-hand, although my mom would argue that you only need the Neosporin; it cures all ills, apparently. ;)
Good call! I keep one in my car also (though I don't have a lovely cover, my car is not a good spot for pretty things!). I also pack after-sun lotion in our kits.
i keep rescue remedy with me at all times.
never heard of rescue remedy...and it really works??? Who makes it and where can i buy it?
Have a great weekend

Nice idea! Your ingredients are very naturally holistic.
I usually carry an antidiarrheal medication if we are traveling anywhere exotic, and water purifying tablets which can be purchased at a camp goods store. One trip to the Grand Canyon taught me that lesson! The water was turgid, and we all became ill.
I have a travel first aid kit but it certainly is not tucked inside such a pretty envelope. I too have mostly safe items such as yours. Those towelettes sure sound nice and something I should consider adding to mine. I also have a tiny pair of scissors, gauze (for wrapping), and gauze pads (to cover a bad scrape or cut). I have a homeopathy first aid kit that is filled with homeopathic remedies and when I go somewhere I grab it too and toss it in the car. I love how you pretty everything up June.
What a cut, quick and helping small
travel first aid kits, and with a pit holder¿? who whould have thought about it right?... great idea, very smart, I like it.
