I'm sick. This is predictable usually at this time of the year, as our bodies are usually run down a bit, we lack sunshine etc. I nursed a sick boy at home this week and as is often the case, your kids share everthing with you.
I will do exactly as I did with my son:
- stay in bed, warm and cosy until at least 10.30 am.
- drink plenty of hot drinks, at least 1 every hour
- eat soup and easily digested foods.
- listen to music or watch tearful old movies ( a favourite when I am poorly)
- Stay out of the kitchen
Some home remedies for colds and flu days :
Hot lemon drink
press the juice of 2 lemons, add 1 teaspoon of honey and plenty of boiling water.
Elderberry drink
to stop the cold going ont your chest
Chicken soup
Create a wholesome vegetable soup with pieces of chicken.
Aromatherapy
in the burner, I put 3 drops of each pine, eucalyptus and tea tree oil to scent the air ( helps with breathing)
Reflexology
Massage feet and hands to stimulate lymphatic system
That will do for the next few days. There are some easy meals in the freezer and if all fails there is always pasta for them to cook.
Back to the duvet!
