Can anyone help my feeling crappy, stiff neck, headaches, off my food, tired and quite grumpy................................

 Have you been talking to Bydand?

He always makes me feel like that....

 Awwwww!  No he is like a nice hot cup of lemon and honey with emphasis on the honey

or ´nane limon´. Even worse!

Ah tea with lemon! Wonderful. When I was in hospital I couldn´t stand tea with milk so one day I ordered pancakes with lemon for dinner. And immediately put lemon into my tea. POETRY of taste

As for home remedies, my mum used to make warm milk with pressed clove of garlic and honey when we had a cold. Works wonders (the smell is far from perfect though)

 Not the taste?

  messy...very messy! 

Someone mentioned baking soda and vinegar as antacids - they also work very well when you put them together as a cleaning solution (just be careful because they react quite violently).  I use that mixture to clean places like sinks and toilets because I don´t want to pour some chemicals into the drain.

Also, putting a bit of coffee grains under your eyes will help get rid of puffyness (the caffeine).

When your skin needs it, you can add a bit of sugar to your regular face wash for exfoliating.

A mixture of cinnamon and lemon juice helps to clear up acne scarring when used daily.

Chamomile tea, cat´s pee???? Aenigma...I don´t know where you are getting your chamomile, but the one I have smells more like apple. It´s one of the most beneficial herbs around. I keep some dry and growing for emergencies. It´s one of the "don´t be without" herbs in my book.

It has so many uses it would be hard to detail them here.....but:

Chamomile

Chamomile flowers are used in alternative medicine as an anodyne, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, nervine, stomachic, tonic, vasodilatory. The anti-inflammatory properties make it good for rheumatism, arthritis, and other painful swellings. Additional uses in herbal medicine include an antispasmodic for intestinal and menstrual cramps, relieving gas pains, and a very mild but efficient laxative. Milder tea in large doses is given throughout the day for fevers, sore throats, the aches and pains due to colds, flu, and allergies.

External Use

 An infusion of Chamomile flowers is used as a hair shampoo, especially for fair hair. The flowers are sometimes added to cosmetics as an anti-allergenic agent or made into a salve for use on hemorrhoids and wounds. The dried herb is made into potpourri and herb pillows, and is burned for aromatherapy. Applied externally as a wash or compress for skin inflammations, sunburn, burns, and added to bath for relaxing tired, achy muscles and feet, and softening the skin.

Thank you for that information. I´ve never heard of some of these. Have you tried them?

One of the best face masques I´ve ever found is oatmeal and yogurt. You grind the oats in a grinder ( I use a coffee grinder) then put a spoon of plain yogurt in. Wail a bit till it gets pasty, and then apply it to your face or hands.

In fact ,you can use it anyplace that needs "help". Wait till it dries, then towell off and rinse the rest off. Your skin should look fresh and dewy

 I must try this one the next time i´m making my porridge.
