Today has proven to be difficult...with blocked nose, severe headache, high fever, sore throat and no energy...and with loss of a Great Teacher and Inspiring Hero of all times...it has been quite a day!
Tried to rest as much as I could but nothing seemed to help, took an afternoon nap so my body could go to rest, woke up feeling even worse, could hardly open my eyes that is how sore my upper face felt...
I desperately needed something to renergise myself, a miracle solution, I had my antibiotics before I took my nap so there was nothing else I could take. The warm ginger drinks had definitely soothed my throat, but there was so much more I needed... as it felt very sore even moving from one room to another.
I then thought what better than the hot bath, which did wonders for me yesterday. I filled the tub with hot water, and threw in a dash of sea salt, eculaptus oil and ginger powder and 20 minutes of my time in the tub definitely helped and as soon as I finished I felt about 65% better, sometimes no medicine can even boost you so much and so quick! I got rid of my muscle pains and aches...I would highly recommend it as for me it will be now my all time favourite ritual to get rid of the flu.
However the severe headache remained, I struggled to move around the house with my splitting headache. Then I recalled I had purchased tiger balm on my last visit to Hong Kong, I jumped out of couch to try this. I unwrapped it and massaged into my temples and thankfully I would say my headache improved by 70%..It will be my saviour for the next few days...
I so hope to an easier morning tomorrow.
