The month of May has been hectic. My sister ran her first 5k with me, I’ve started having trouble with plantar fasciitis, my daughter graduated from high school and became a Christian. 👏🎓❤ And the month isn’t over yet! I am a little bummed out with my foot/heel pain. I’ve read about plantar fasciitis online […]

It’s been an active week for me! Thanks to my sister for getting me motivated to get back on track! I ran/walked a 5k on Saturday (in the rain), tried to walk almost every day, began a monthly challenge for squats and planks, and started back on the Couch to 5k plan this week. How […]

Home Remedies

Have you ever tried home remedies for sinus, allergies, etc? I have been struggling for a month with extreme allergy problems. It seems most of my friends and family also have problems with allergies that live in Tennessee. A friend gave me a home remedy to try and since I’ve taken a multitude of OTC meds without any relief, I decided to give it a try.

Mix equal parts local honey and apple cider vinegar in a jar. Allow mixture to sit for three days while occasionally shaking container to mix. Then drink a shot glass full each morning and evening.

The first dose was interesting. I slowly opened the jar and inhaled the aroma of the vinegar. Ick! I quickly took a shot of the mixture while holding my nose. The taste isn’t as bad as the smell! Thank goodness! I can say that I do feel better after doing this for a few days.

I am also adding honey and cinnamon to my morning routine. I read that this will help with allergies and high cholesterol, too. And it’s yummy!

My dad claims a hot, steamy towel over your face will work. I’ve done that for sinus headaches and it does help if you can handle the hot towels without burning yourself! He also believes in the vinegar regimen, but I can’t seem to get past the smell of it.

Do you have any natural home remedies to share?

Two of the reasons I walk

 

In a few days I will be participating in the March for Babies2013 walk for the 5th time. This is a great charity to support. My oldest daughter was premature and she is one of the reasons I walk. I also walk for those babies that didn’t survive. I suffered a miscarriage in my early 20′s and sometimes I wonder about that precious life I didn’t get a chance to meet. My heart goes out to the mommy’s and daddy’s out there who didn’t get a chance to hold their babies.

If you would like to donate to this charity, please click on the link above.

Thanks for your support. One day all babies will be born healthy.
