Recovering from the Holidays - Natural Help!


Since Halloween I've eaten too much sugar, underexercised and slacked off on my supplements. Honestly, I don't feel 100% when I don't take care of myself. My sleep patterns are off, my energy is lacking, my digestion isn't what it should be and my skin doesn't have its healthy glow.

Now that New Years has come and gone, less parties are on the schedules and regular routines are back. And that means taking better care of ourselves and helping the ones we love do the same.

A great article was sent to my inbox this morning and I'm passing this great info to you. Many of you who know me hear me mention homeopathic remedies often. I love them! In the Sacramento area the remedies are easy to find in stores. Try Nugget, Whole Foods, Sunrise Natural Foods or Elliot's.

Here are some of my favorites from the article:

Overeating including too many sweets or alcohol:

Lycopodium: With belching and bloating. Craving for sweets and alcohol and warm drinks, huge appetite.

Nux Vomica: With irritability and constipation, colic and cramping, worse tight clothes, better warmth and warm drinks, addictive cravings, impatience.

Argentum Nitricum: Rectal gas loud enough to earn a reputation, stomach distension, desires sweets including sugar, desires salt.

Anticipation with excitement:

Argentum Nitricum: Impulsive, sympathetic, compulsive thoughts, anxiety while anticipating and needs company, fear to be late, hurried, worse from eating sweets.

Coffea: Sensitive, nervous and over-reactive, insomnia, uncontrollable thoughts and racing mind, ecstatic states, ailments from grief.
