The flu strikes again!!

The flu struck me this morning. I wish I would have known this. Now you will!!


Tummy Tea Time

How about something that has all-natural ingredients and that will rehydrate you and rebalance your electrolytes even better than Gatorade?

INGREDIENTS:
~ about a cup of HOT WATER (not boiling! if it boiled, let it cool slightly)
~ about a half LEMON, squeezed in (more or less depending on your taste)
~ a liberal amount of SEA SALT (to taste, but do add a lot!)
~ a spoonful of RAW HONEY

Mix these up and sip slowly. The warmth itself is soothing, but the ingredients will work to actively settle your poor tender tummy.


If you can catch it at the right time between "bouts," a very small amount of this Tummy Tea can actually help stop you throwing up again. Wait until 10 or 15 minutes after throwing up, and have a small sip. After a few minutes, try another sip. Don't gulp big amounts of it! Continue to take tiny amounts at intervals and it will help stop the "something in-something out" cycle.

The warmth itself is soothing, but the ingredients work to restore the upset balance in your tummy, helping it stop the spastic cycle of overreacting to everything that comes in.
