I am so sore today! But it is a good soreness. A sore, like I've had a good workout soreness.
That deep acupressure massage yesterday was the ticket! The therapist gave me a punch card. After 9 visits, I get a free 10 minute session. 10 minutes would be just the tip of the iceberg, but I'll take it!
I'm thinking once a month I will pamper myself with a deep massage.
I'm looking for ways to pamper myself that don't always include food. My preferred method of pampering up to this point.
Speaking of food, I am following Dr. Axe's advice on lowering stomach acid. https://draxe.com/low-stomach-acid/
He recommends apple cider vinegar, 1 T before meals. That is something I can do right now! He also suggests smaller meals and chewing food thoroughly. I must admit, I do tend to eat large meals. And I tend to inhale rather than chew.
Today at lunch, I chewed each bite 30 times. And slowly. It made me feel quite mindful of my eating!
My daughter posted a question on a natural healing Facebook page about her mother. She said:

My daughter posted a question on a natural healing Facebook page about her mother. She said:
"My mom has had a cough for over a year, it has gotten worse in the last
few months. Her doctor keeps prescribing her steroids, prednisone. She
is temporarily better while on the steroids then afterwards the cough
returns. They did a chest x-ray and said they don't see anything but her
alveoli are partially collapsed. She exercises daily and has never
smoked. Any recommendations for natural healing of her lungs?"
There have been many very interesting responses!
Several people suggested removing wheat, sugar and dairy, going vegan and organic. There were some cannabis posts. And several people suggested it might be related to GERD or leaky gut. A few people also suggested getting my heart checked out.
Also recommended was colloidal silver and oregano.
Much research is in my future!
And piano students are in my immediate future! I must run to catch my bus. I did manage to do my daily hooping session this morning. Day 205!
I am tired and sore, but very little coughing. Not sure if it was the massage, the better eating habits or both. But I'll take it!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita
