It's Not Fun Being Sick

Hey loves!

My boyfriend has been sick all weekend. Boo...so I wanted to share some natural home remedies with you guys. Hopefully they will help if you are feeling like poop as well ha ha ha

Headache-

• Drink a BIG ol glass of H2O 
• Give yourself or get someone to give you a neck/head massage
• There is a pressure point in your hand between your thumb and pointer finger - hold that down on each hand for 15 seconds.
• After a little while if those do not help take a hour power nap.

Sore Throat-

• Lemon honey drink - 1cup warm water, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1tbsp honey/agave sweetener 

Acne-

• Chamomile tea works great. Just brew a tea bag and dip a cotton ball into tea swipe over face once a day.

Blackheads-

• Witch Hazel (I use this every day!) wipe over face morning and night.
• Lemon Juice & Cinnamon rub - 1tsp lemon juice, 1tsp ground cinnamon. Rub on face. leave on 5 minutes. Rinse. 

Anxiety-

• Breathing Treatments. You would be amazed at how a person can control the way they are feeling by just they way they control their breathing. Deep, slow, steady breaths work every single time. 
• I recommend yoga. I have been doing yoga for years now and a lot of it is your breathing. If you do it correctly yoga is an amazing stress reducer. 
• Vitamin B is well known to have a calming effect on the nervous system. 

Cold/Sniffles

• AVOID DAIRY!
• Load up on Vitamin C
• Echinacea & Ginseng

Fever-

• Drink lots of water. Many people do not realize fevers can easily make you dehydrated. 
• Take a cool bath.
• Typically a fever is your body trying to fight off a sickness. It is usually OK to let a fever "ride" as long as it does not get too high. In that case you need to cool your head down immediately and get to a doctor.   

I hope you guys learned something about kicking a colds butt! Also remember eating healthy and exercising helps keep your body in good working order and makes it easier to fight nasty colds. Help keep your body in shape so it can fight off sickness easier!

Perfectly Put!!
