I love this. There is something very special about a good hot toddy when you’re feeling poorly. 🙂
Yes…it’s that nice, hazy feeling that results!
chicken soup!
We had that yesterday, too!
Hot water in a pretty cup with a slice of lemon – a few times a day. Especially first thing in the morning.
Hot water in a pretty cup with a T of honey and juice of half a lemon – a couple times a day.
Water, water, water.
Saline solution (usually a buck and some change at any drug store) up the nose a few times a day.
A detox bath: run a “hot as you can stand it” bath with 1 C baking soda, 2 C epsom salts and several drops of eucalyptus or lavender oil. Submerge yourself, stay in for about 15 minutes (I even put a washcloth across my chest so I’m really in the heat of it. Then wrap yourself in a thick towel and go lie on your bed and sweat it out. I put a towel on my pillow and one to wrap my feet in. Lie there for about 15-20 minutes. Then I shower. A nutritionist told me to do this years ago since the skin is our biggest organ and we can rid ourselves of toxins best with this method. If you have a dry brush – massage or brush your skin with it before the bath – moving always toward your heart center.
Feel better!
OMG, I’ll need a staff of handmaidens to implement this, as bad as I feel. But this sounds effective.
And the hot toddy recipe is much appreciated. Sounds yummy and relaxing. And the pretty cup thing? I’m so with you on that!
Everything’s better with a “pretty”. I learned that from my friend Laura.
Sending healing vibes your way.
Thanks, Frances!
I’ve heard of these, but never actually had one. I suppose I’ll need to try this now because it’s good for you, right? If I must…
P.S. I hope you have an amazing trip!
Love the recipe and the beautiful china cup which would make me feel a little better and special.
Love this recipe, my grandmother used to make the same one for me but with whiskey!
Tantalizing recipe and image. Makes me want to shift from coffee this early morning!
I’ll take one. No not sick! LOL. Hope you feel better for your trip! If not, then add it to your to-go coffee mug. You’ll be fine 😉
I think my parents used to make these. I’ll have to remember this for sure. I know my hubby love a shot of whiskey when he isn’t feeling good. Thx Carol
