Flu

Kelly replied:

Its at times like those I whip out the essential oils - lemon, peppermint and eucalyptus and use them in every way possible - baths, inhalation and burners. Seems to work for us.

Whereas my aunt on the other hand swears by a bottle of rum to do the drink!

Kelly replied:

oops!!

should have said to do the trick not the drink... But i guess since she's drinking it it works both ways

Oh Rach I thought you'd be better by now!!!

Try having a hot shower about the same time today as you would tomorrow getting ready for the party.  See how long the effects work, Kev and I were both sick a few weeks ago but we each found a really hot shower 'revived' us me for about 2 hours, him for about 3 before we sunk again...

I don't know what it is. We all seem so sick.  I have been sick since last week but soldiering on.

Get well all you girls.

What worries me is it is not even winter yet....................

Marina,

I know in this day and age it is hard to do.. but try and rest... leave the housework until a day after your party and spend the time giving your body a rest.. It sounds like it is telling you to slow down... a  little..

I've recently heard that rubbing vicks vaporub on the soles of your feet and popping socks on over night will work wonders.
I've yet to try this out (can't stand sleeping with socks on) but thought I'd let you know :)

Hope you're feeling 100% soon!

Sounds like everyone could do with an immune system boost! Lots of veggies and more sleep folks!
