ACV, OREGANO, AND HOLY WATER
Growing up, Mom had us sipping on "honey juice" as young kids. A tbl spoon of apple cider vinegar, honey, and water. This was long before you could buy the concoction in Whole Foods Markets for 4 dollars a pop. ACV, two drops of oregano oil under the tongue, and a sprinkle of holy water before bed kept us in check. My mother has always been way ahead of the game. Thanks, mom!
Ironically, I have not gotten completely sick in the last couple of years (minus food poisoning in Mexico from an extra “bussin” shrimp burrito). WHICH IS MIRACULOUS! Since usually, the unforgiving clutches of Idaho winter squeezes every drop of purpose and joy from my soul and I slip into a chronic head cold with a side of depression. Not this year.... I've been gripping on to my overall health and will to live with white knuckles while the world slowly perishes in fire and ice, politics, and C19. Pardon the drama - it’s for fun!
This year has been different. In fact, I am grateful to be able to maintain my health more fiercely than ever! Let me Bragg....hehe get it? Beyond the endless stress and sickness surrounding the pandemic... I’ve focused on becoming more in tune with the messages and signals received from my body. The body’s symptoms are little messages of info. Not annoying ailments that are to be suppressed and shut down as soon as they come up. We must address the root cause. Once I feel cold symptoms coming on, listen, and then I turn into a herbal bruja real quick. I pop some D, hydrate, cut out sugar, add in sauna, and rest/sleep adequately.
Okay... beyond using prevention, we have put in a considerable amount work towards curating and balancing lifestyle, mind, body, and spirit. In truth, the secret to health and longevity lies in diet choices and habits of daily consumption. Chronic disease is rooted in inflammation. Take your turmeric!
The sups that I take are not a cure-all magic pill for anything. True health is achieved through balance and harmony flowing between the mental, physical, and spiritual bodies. I am also not a doctor, but I am discussing preventative health..
Here some of my favorite boosters that aide in keeping my health in optimal condition against cold szn, depression, and C19. I’m not recommending to anyone. These are for me ;)
TIPS from yours truly <3
If you have some established supplements you take, write out what they are and list some of their benefits. Tape the paper on the inside of your supplement cabinet. As you dish out your supps, read aloud the benefits. It's kind of like saying your affirmations in the morning...as I sort through my cabinet I can read out loud how I am supporting and taking care of my mind and body. As I reach for the vitamin D3 I affirm;
"My immune system, bones, and muscles are so strong. I have a happy mood and a happy, healthy heart."
When you voice something out loud, when you voice an affirmation, the universe responds to those powerful frequencies!!!
