Alright, so I'll admit, last night I wasn't feeling so hot. Honestly I just felt sick, and couldn't bring myself to drink, let alone eat.
So I thought I'd post how I've made my self feel better naturally and without meds.
Knowing I NEEDED to drink... I instead took a long shower to help fill my body with fluids. Using Eucalyptus Soaps to soothe those muscles of course!!
I then Took a dropper full of "Herbs for Kids" Ginger Tummy stuff. Which settled my stomach pretty instantly. But I couldn't regulate my body temp. Veg kept saying "Mommy, your too hot to touch"
Finally I looked at the thermostat and realized it wasn't just me... the house was 80 degrees... hahaha!!
Whoops!! So on with the A/C cooling both me and the house down... Cold Apple Cider Vinegar wash clothes on the feet, and cold Tea Tree wash cloth on the head... Yes... I was a site!!
But I finally felt good enough to drink and eat... which consisted of Coconut Water mixed with Lemonade for electrolytes, Lots of Regular water for hydration, a Fresh Pineapple Slushie (pineapple has anti-Inflamation properties).. and lastly some Veggies and rice for nutrient dense dinner.
I put Coconut oil on my face and all my chaffes...Home made Eucalyptus Rub on my lips...Arnica all over my feet... and eventually tried to go to sleep... Which did NOT go as planned...
How is it, you could be so exhausted and not able to sleep????
Anywho... All that stuff worked wonders... by morning, all my skin sores were scabbed over. The blisters on my feet almost gone, only one toe still hurting... Lips no longer burning, face no longer burning and all the joints feeling good...
Ohhh, but my muscles still STIFF!!! Once I got moving, I was fine...But still felt kind of Yuck all over.... So I took the Veg kid to school and came home before going to work... Took another shower with Eucalyptus Soap.. Made a giant glass of Parsley, Apple & Celery Smoothie, Drank another glass of water, a banana... and began feeling HUMAN!!
Yes.. I said Work... If I had it to do all over again, think I would have stayed home today :-) But I made it in... Making a point to get up and walk around. Sitting for any length, was not such a good thing.
As of this post... I'm feeling pretty Great considering!! In fact, I'm only a tiny bit sore and all "pain" is gone!
Another great smoothie in the Morning, and I'll be all back to normal.... Who needs Ibuprofen? *smile*
Thank you everyone for your kind words... Hope your having a great night where ever you may be!!
PS... if your a real marathon person, don't look at that time! *smile* I was just happy to finish, considering I was almost unable to walk the last 6 miles.
