Holistic Remedies

We have been warm-ish for New England 30's-40's.

The wind has kicked up and is bringing in very cold weather.

***

We have had the flu in this house:(

I am happy to say David is on the mend.

I dodged the flu!(this time)

 I may have just been lucky but this is what I did and

and what if it really is helping??

***

First I did wear a mask at home while David was sick

I washed my hands while singing happy birthday twice.

(in my head:)

I wiped my hands until dry.

***

I drink a mug of hot water with a large wedge of lemon.

I drink 8 glasses of water

one or two of those glasses I put in air borne or emergency C

I take 2000 units of Vit D, most people in the north east

are vit D deficient. You can get this checked with a blood test.

I eat 2 pieces of ginger you can put this in your hot water

or I bought some crystallized ginger at the health food store.

Plenty of sleep

***

The one other thing I have started is the last 2 minutes of my

shower I turn it to cold brrrr, I haven't quite lasted the

2 minutes but I am working on it. There is a German study

that shows the 2 minute cold shower helps circulation and

raises your white blood count.

***

Now did all of this help? who knows but I am still healthy

and it can't hurt:) Yes I had the flu shot this fall but so did David.

I am hoping the flu dosen't find you.
