DH is getting a cold and I finally got him to brew some wellness elixir. NO

amount of honey makes it taste better, but he does feel better. I think it is

sort of like banging your head against the wall, it feels better when you

stop! I'm choking down the leftovers in the hope it will help my allergies.

Getting Back To Wellness

Seven Quick Fixes To Feel Better

The signals our bodies use to tell us we need to cleanse ourselves

physically, mentally, and emotionally are multifaceted and often mirror

symptoms we

associate with illness. If we heed these signs, we not only feel better quickly

but also stave off poor health before it can start. These quick fixes for

common ailments can get you started.

 

1. Applying pressure to the acupressure point between the thumb and

forefinger can release blockages causing pain, tension, and fatigue. You can

relieve

a headache naturally by squeezing for 20 seconds and releasing for 10

seconds, without letting go, four times.

 

2. To breathe freely, irrigate your nasal passages with a neti pot and warm

salt water. As you clear and soothe the sinuses, congestion associated with

allergies or infection will gradually disappear.

 

3. Apple cider vinegar is a powerful purifying and detoxifying agent.

Soaking for 20 minutes in a warm bath infused with two cups of apple cider

vinegar

pulls toxins from the body and can clear blocked energy.

 

4. The foods you eat can have a profound impact on your outlook and mood.

Eating a small yet satisfying meal rich in complex carbohydrates can lift your

spirit and help you let go of feelings of anger, irritability, and

depression.

 

5. Anxiety and fear dissipate quickly when countered with conscious

breathing because concentrating on the breath enables you to refocus your

attention

inward. You can ground yourself and regain your usual calm by taking a series

of deep belly breaths as you visualize your feet growing roots that stretch

miles down into the earth.

 

6. Though tuning out can seem counterproductive, a few minutes spent lost

in daydreams or listening to soothing music can help you see your

circumstances from a new angle when you feel frustrated.

 

7. If you feel ill health coming on, brew a wellness elixir. Simmer three

sliced lemons, one teaspoon freshly grated ginger, one clove freshly minced

garlic, and one quarter teaspoon cayenne pepper in five cups water until the

lemons are soft and pale. Strain a portion into a mug and add honey by

tablespoons until you can tolerate the taste. Drinking this potent mixture of

antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal ingredients three times each day can

ensure

your symptoms never progress into a full-blown illness.
