FRESH GINGER TEA WITH TURMERIC & HONEY
I put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
Prepare your tea. You can use any kind of tea, green or black, but I use Korean Young Ji Tea. I place my bags in my tea pot.
Slice a few pieces of fresh ginger root, cutting off the skin and drop it into the boiling water.
To this add some Turmeric to taste.
Pour into a cup, using honey to sweeten. This is a great drink for a sore throat. The honey soothing.
OSCILLOCOCCINUM
When I feel the flu coming on, I head straight to my Rx or Grocers and buy Boiron's Oscillococcinum Pellets.
These magic pellets contain "Anas barbarie hepatis et cordis 200CK". I have no idea what that is, but you can go to their website to find out more. I do know that it is homeopathic and in my opinion it seems to work wonderfully! I have been using this for about 3 years now. Not that often, just when needed.
GOLD EDITION KENRICO TOURMALINE/CARBON TITANIUM DETOX PADS

My husband just scoffs every night I put these stinky pads on my feet. I must admit, I first heard of them on a late-night infomercial. I am always willing to try something that is a natural alternative to keeping me healthy or pain free, so when I saw these foot pads on TV, I thought i'd try it.
Here't the thing.
Have I noticed any difference? Uh, no, not really.
Do I still wear them every night? Uh, yes, mostly.
Do I know why I still do? UH, NO??
Am I putting their C.E.O.'s son through college? UH, probably.
MAGNESIUM OIL SPRAY

When I take my vitamins at night, I spray about 2 squirts of Magnesium oil on my body. I feel like it helps me sleep better at night. And speaking of helping me sleep better at night, there is truly one thing I can credit to giving me my first consecutive sets of deep sleep in YEARS.....

The Sleep Master Sleep Mask, from here.
I can't go into all the details of HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MASK AND HOW IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE except that if you go to Amazon where I bought it, read the comments. That is what helped me decide to try it. And since then I have bought 10 more. For myself (travel etc...) and friends. I have suffered from Insomnia for over 20 years and since I started wearing this mask about 6 months ago, I have not had to take ONE sleeping pill and haven't woken up ONE time in the middle of the night. NO bags under my eyes! I'll look like a dork in my sleep with a blue mask on for that alone!
Disclaimer:
Yes, can you believe I have to put this on here? Well, I suppose I don't HAVE to, but c'mon guys. I'm obviously not a Doctor. If you're pregnant or have a medical condition, don't take anything based on my silly blog. Ask your Doctor: if you've been prescribed a drug, you need to know about interactions before doing anything else to your body. Except this Sleep Mask of course. This thing is a miracle. And I'll stand by that.

a former Insomniac.
