I’ve had a stuffy cold/sinusitis for the last couple of weeks. There’s something about summer colds that makes them all the more miserable. Curling up in a blanket with a steaming cup of tea feels more natural in the winter. In the summer, you feel you should be frolicking outside without a care in the world.
I was determined to manage this illness without taking any extra medication. I have enough chemicals in my body in the form of my regular meds and I didn’t want to add in any more if I could possibly help it. In any case, I’ve never heard anyone rave about decongestants – you can’t even take them for long otherwise they cause the exact problem you’re trying to treat! So I used some of my favourite helpers and did a bit of research to add in some new. Of course, being given beautiful flowers from my parents’ garden perked me up too.
