Hello! and…
I hope you all are finishing up your Hump Day strong and happy.
Unfortunately, I have involuntarily caught a cold. The cold was thrown at me by surprise. At this point, many would turn to their medicine cabinets and consume the “best” medicine. Medicine that would make one feel drowsy, even though it states that it would not. Medicine that says, “come back every 8 hours, sweetie,” and has you chained to the clock. Medicine that does not only break down your cold, but will break you down as well.
As I got older, I began to grow distant from medication. I truly wanted to give my body the best medications.
Today, I have been making myself hot cups of tea with a scoop of honey. I made green tea since it’s my favorite. The steam from the tea felt quite soothing in that it loosened up the nasal passages, allowing me to breath easier. Green tea, specifically, is filled with antioxidants, which will boost the immune system. The honey added a perfect touch of sweetness and the antibacterial fighting action my body needed.
I sipped this slowly while my homemade oil diffuser worked its magic. Oil diffusers could be so costly when bought in stores. However, I just “Googled” and found ways to make one on my own! I added droplets of peppermint oil in mine. My whole house smelled of fresh peppermints. Each inhalation brought relief to my body. My senses were both awakened and put at ease at the same time. Does that make sense?
And like all medication, there are side effects. I certainly did experience a side effect.
I had my daily fix. What was yours, darling?
That Daily Fix
