Homeopathy is a wonderfully safe and economical way to provide support for day-to-day acute ailments for yourself, your family, animals, and even your plants.
For many years now I have used it instead of many of the over-the-counter medicines.
Remedy Kit
If you can find a 42 remedy homeopathic kit then that is excellent*. These contain 42 of the remedies in small bottles in a small padded plastic case that is very portable and will provide support for most common ailments.
The Ainsworths Essential Kit contains remedies in 30c potency:

Helios Pharmacy also sell remedy kits
Alternatively, you can always purchase remedies one at a time as you find you need them.
Creams
Alongside the remedies, I would heartily also recommend having some herbal creams such as
- Arnica – well known for bruises
- Hypericum and Calendula – for cuts where nerve damage has occurred
- Calendula – cuts and grazes
Books
The kits come with a small booklet. To start to understand it better, then there are many books (thousands).
This one by – Miranda Castro’s “The Complete Homeopathy Handbook” is one of many good ones.
This post on homeopathy for animals gives a few ideas what each remedy can be used for – courtesy of Chris Day (vet and homeopath).
I do offer some mentoring to my clients on remedies they might find useful for day-to-day situations.
