Today was a busy day of holding down the couch. Within the first few weeks of every new school year colds are spread around the school like wild fires. I usually fight them off for at least the first few weeks but this year, not so much. It's only week 2 and I'm home sick. Ugh! I am determined to recover by tomorrow and am doing everything I can to get to a healthier state. I've always hated taking medication because I don't feel I benefit at all from it. In fact, it usually leaves me feeling groggy and with less money in my wallet. Today's helpful home remedies include:Gingered Carrot and Squash Soup (leftovers from the fridge - woot woot!)
Vicks Steamer
1 teaspoon Vicks Vaporub
Salad bowl of boiling water
Melt vaporub in water. Cover with a towel and pop your head in there and take deep breaths. Amazing!
Ginger Tea
4 cups water
1 tablespoon sliced fresh ginger
Over high heat bring water to a boil. Add fresh ginger and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain ginger. Pour water into a mug with a slice of lemon. Enjoy!
