Damn Hangover

Beer

 

 By: Sadisha E.

 If you are unfortunate enough to get a hangover try some of these remedies.



Strange but true...ingesting extra virgin olive oil is great for hangovers.

Get Hydrated It's very important to drink water. You’ll flush most of the alcohol out of your system. Removal of toxins will possibly sober you up faster. For instant hydration drink coconut water.


Coconut Water is an excellent natural hydrant
 

Put something in your stomach! You’re drunk because you didn’t have anything in your belly to absorb the alcohol in the first place. Note: If you haven’t eaten in over 2 hours you are more likely to get drunk. Any food you’ve eaten prior will already be digested.

Go bananas  Potassium from bananas will get you through the sick feeling in your tummy. Added benefits are the electrolytes that are in this amazing fruit.

Vitamin C   Drinking orange juice replaces lost vitamins due to having a hangover.

Bedtime Catch some z’s   Reverse the havoc you’ve placed on your body.

Grapefruit anyone?  Have a glass of grapefruit juice to clean out your urinary and digestive systems.  Plus your liver will thank you for it.

Tea Time   Tea is used to settle upset stomachs.

Add this to the mix A few drops of: fennel, lemon to your bath water; along with Epsom salt. Another way to remove the toxins. Soak for 20 minutes.

Get well soon my friends!

How to Survive Your Cold

By: Sadisha E.

Hand Sanitizer

 It helps to keep hand sanitizer and even Clorox Wipes nearby. Use these to combat the spread of germs throughout.  Of course it is impossible to destroy all of the germs. However, you have some options. Merely wiping down door handles, facet handles is a great start. Periodically use the hand sanitizer on your hands. Don’t neglect to wipe anything you touch: anything with knobs, keyboards, electronic devices, and switches.

Every couple of days you should change your pillow cases. It will become a breeding playground for microorganisms. If it is in your budget wash those comforters and sheets at least once during your illness. Repeat at the end of the cold as well!

Create a healthier environment to get well in.  Best bet would be to minimize spreading the cold. The last thing anyone wants is to finally get better. Then catch the same cold from their family. By the way would have been your fault they caught it in the first place.

Most importantly blow your nose to remove the mucus.  Keep  a disposable bag near you to toss out used tissues. Then tie it up and throw away. Drink tea and add honey and lemon juice. The 2 are natural antiseptics. These will heal you from the inside and build up your immunity. Flush it out by staying hydrated. Rest as much as you can. The more sleep you get the faster you’ll recover. Stay home for a few days if possible.

I can’t stress it enough: drink plenty of clear fluids. Eat soup; the steam will help you breathe better. Or simply let the shower steam and inhale deeply until you get out. You can even soak for 20 minutes in a tub and add Epsom Salt to the water. Epsom is designed to remove toxins from your body. Simultaneously the soak will help your skin absorb much needed magnesium. Did I mention this soak will also relieve aches and pains?

In the event you develop a sore throat gargle with salt water. The iodine is also an antiseptic which kills germs.

Keep a vaporizer in the room to moisturize the air you breathe. Mist loosens congestion by making the mucus thinner.

Prepare for future colds: (keep handy) cold medicine, vaporizer, tissue, small plasic bags, hand sanitizer, Chlorox Wipes or disinfectiant spray, Epsom Salt, Honey, Tea, Soup, Orange juice or Vitamin C, and salt.

If you have read this I hope it puts you on the path to a speedy recovery! Get well soon!

Natural Remedies Made Easy

By: Sadisha E.



When in a pinch use only baking soda to brush your teeth. The gritty texture removes the food particles. At the same time it polishes your enamel. Plus baking soda removes odors as well.

I used 4 teaspoons of basil to freshen my breath. I mixed it in a glass of water, and swished. Treat this mixture like regular mouthwash which you wouldn't swallow.

The same maybe done with any of the following: mint leaves, thyme, parsley or even fennel seeds.



Mint

  

Originally I thought the basil wouldn't work because it has a musky odor.

Mix a tablespoon of either salt or sugar with olive oil. Scrub your hands to make them incredibly soft.

Next create your own cuticle/nail oil. Simply use 1 Vitamin E capsule. 1 teaspoon each of almond and jojoba oil. Massage your nail areas.

Jojoba Oil

After a enjoying time in the swimming pool you have to get the chlorine out of your hair. Mix 1/4 lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of baking soda with your shampoo.

Hair gel can be made with a teaspoon of gelatin and 1 cup of water. You can ad almond oil extract for scent.

Hope my tips today were helpful to you! Let me know how I'm doing!
