[ 𝐑𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄 ] ― sender and receiver see each other again after a period of being apart

The soft spring breeze brought along the ocassional pink petals that would dance around the faces of awestruck tourists stopping every few steps to take pictures of this or that, and stepped on by the uninterested locals who were busy to get to their time sensitive destinations.

Cherry blossom themed limited edition merchandise lined the clean glass of every storefront for blocks and blocks ahead. A fatherly priest walked just behind his two daughters who were eager to shop for the latest trending outfits, new themed hair accessories, and new lip oils. Neither Mimiko nor Nanako could wait another day or two - it's going to sell out right away! - and Suguru just couldn't say no. He carried their bags from store to store, and bought them lunch during their break from shopping.

That is where he saw him the first time. The first time in approximately four years actually.

Suguru turned his head on instinct to scan just down the street when he was waiting in line at a takoyaki stand. Who he saw made him blink and give a crooked grin. Striking blonde hair, sharp and structure jaw line; it was so easy to tell that that was his former colleague. He had put on more muscle, Suguru noticed, maybe grew taller, but that stern frown looked like it was years in the making. He looked like he was in a rush, but never pushing anyone out of his way. Looking down at his watch for the time, yet those dragging feet said they'd rather be anywhere else than where they were actually headed.

'You look like shit, Nanami.'

"Sir, your payment?"

His attention was on the old man who had such a warm smile that brightened up every wrinkle, and he pushed the colorful tray just a smidge closer so Suguru could pay for their lunch. Absolutely revolting. He wanted to throw up. Returning the smile, the priest fished out his money. "Of course," he hummed.

//

So, Nanami Kento was now a diligent salaryman.

Good for him.

Suguru was there to witness Nanami leaving the school, and sorcery behind, and he was there to feel the same pain and anguish that led him to leave. They didn't say much to each other during that time, but there wasn't any need when the slump on their shoulders and the hollow stare in their eyes said enough. Suguru knew that Nanami wouldn't heed him out if he tried to pitch his vision at him, but what he wasn't too sure about is if he was in contact with a particular godly being. Not that that would be an issue, Suguru just didn't want to deal with a potential headache.

He didn't go back to that area for another month. Around the same time, Suguru could only guess that it would've been Nanami's lunch hour. He spied the working man frequenting a sandwich shop, only ever taking it to go, and then heading back to his office. 'My, such a work-o-holic.'

He could be playing a dangerous game by going to this seemingly favored sandwich shop where they rotate daily specials just minutes before Nanami typically arrives, he could be an asshole for sitting at a booth that was in the blind spot for the customers walking in with his tuna sandwich and salad, but one thing Suguru definitely was was giddy in excitement. Was Nanami going to be stunned in shock? Would he be angry with Suguru for defiling the joint he goes to so often by his presence? Would he pop a vessel by how tight he'd be clenching his jaw? Oh, Suguru couldn't wait for these questions to be answered.

The chime of the doorbell rang, and right on time, Nanami walked in.

"Yo, Nanami!" Suguru sang in such a spirited and familiar tone, as if this was something expected, planned, between the both of them. "I recommend getting the tuna sandwich. It's quite plump."

Rain

it is raining, and Legend is too stubborn to take a break.

whumptober 2023 - day 3 "make it stop."

fandoms - legend of zelda, linked universe

Legend felt old. Sure, he was only 18, but he had been on too many quests, at this point. He had spent far too long as the goddess' little puppet, and now his bones ached and joints creaked and all he wanted was to stop, to go home, to finally be able to properly tend to his orchard and snuggle up with ravio with a mug of hot chocolate in the evenings.

But of course he couldn't do that, it had only been two weeks since he got back from Hytopia and suddenly he was dragged through a portal and onto another quest. He was just thankful that he was in the habit of carrying his gear with him always.

And the other heroes were driving him up the wall. Time was treating him like a kid, Wind wouldn't stop yammering to anyone, Sky kept waxing poetic about his girlfriend and how much he missed her, Warriors was just too much of a stuck up city boy, and for some reason Twilight Set off all his prey instincts. He was this close to snapping and running off into the woods.

He wouldn't even be the first to do it, just two days ago, wild had run off for a good three hours. Which, yeah. Legend would probably have snapped sooner if nobody spoke a language he could understand. He would thank the goddesses for Travellers Common, but that would mean that they did something good.

Then there was the sour cherry on the burnt cake: it was raining. The damp dug into his scars, his arthritis flaring painfully. Not wanting to draw attention to himself and give time even more of a reason to hover and fret, Legend grit his teeth and continued walking.

* * *

Something was up with legend, and Hyrule was about ready to commit crimes to find out what. He could taste the pain from legend in the air, and his fairy instincts were crying at him to fix the problem, heal the hurt. It was giving him a headache.

But any attempt to approach the other teen was rewarded only with angry glares and harsh words. However, hyrule was anything but stubborn. He wouldn’t have survived the hostile wasteland that was his home otherwise. So he persisted, legend’s attempts to fend him off only feuling his determination more.

By the time they stopped under a rocky outcrop for lunch, hyrule had approached legend and been harshly turned away no less than twenty times, and probably more. But legend had sat down, and judging by how stiff his movements had been, he would have a harder time escaping hyrule’s questioning than he did when they were walking. So hyrule took advantage of the situation. He sat down right next to legend.

“I can tell you’re in pain. Stop avoiding me and tell me how i can help.” legend jumped slightly at hyrule’s words. He probably hadnt noticed hyrule joining him, too focused on hiding his own pain.

“ Go away and stop bothering me ” Legend hissed. In traveller’s common. The one language they both knew and that Time didn’t know. Interesting.

“ You’re hurt and you don’t want the old man to know, huh? ” Roolie responded in the same language. Maybe ledge would respond better if the old man couldn’t understand their conversation.

“ He’s a mother cucco. He’d make a bigger deal of it than it actually is. He’s already treating us like children. ” finally, something more than a few curses and demands that he leave. Hyrule could work with this.

“ So you admit that there is something wrong. ” Legend glared at hyrule’s smug grin, looking vaguely like he wanted to strangle the younger teen.

“ Yeah, sure whatever. But its not like you can just make it stop with a potion or a fairy. It will go away when the rain stops. Satisfied? Now will you piss off?” legend switched back to hylian at the end, probably to try and hint that the conversation was over. Hyrule didn’t care. 

“So if we stay here until the rain stops, you’ll be fine to keep going afterwards?” hyrule said. Loudly, in hylian, to make sure time could hear him. If looks could kill, hyrule would probably have been brutally dismembered, his organs and limbs tied up in little bags floating down the toxic rivers of his homeland.

* * *

Legend was just about done with the little shit. He was planning cold hearted, petty revenge. Hyrule would regret this for the rest of his life.

Time had heard hyrule, come over, and demanded to know what hyrule meant. And without remorse, hyrule had gleefully recounted that the rain was making legend hurt. The old man had then proceeded to announce that they would be staying where they were until the rain stopped rather than powering on to the next town (which was only 5 miles down the road if the last sign the saw was to be trusted).

Then it turned out that Wild, who they previously thought could only speak Sheikah, knew Travellers Common and had been listening in on the conversation. And just handed over a massive raw ruby wrapped in cloth. Which did help, but was definitely a shock. But seeing the scars poking out from under the kid’s hood, legend could guess how he knew the ruby would help.

Then, 2 hours later, the rain stopped. And hyrule had the most shit eating grin when he walked over to legend. “All better?” his voice was so sickeningly sweet when he’d said that that legend nearly punched him in the face. But he did have to admit, he did feel a bit better. Physically, anyway. According to ravio, it would probably take divine intervention to sort out what was going on mentally.

Belladonna

Used centuries ago as a poison, hallucinogen, and even as a beauty remedy, Belladonna is a plant rich in potentially deadly alkaloids. But the dose makes the poison: in low or even homeopathic doses, this plant may help with IBS, menopausal complaints, migraines, and flu-like symptoms. Read on to learn more about its dark history and why safer alternatives are available. What Is Belladonna? "All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing, not a poison." This 500-year-old principle of toxicology, developed by the Swiss physician and chemist Paracelsus, precisely describes the effects of Belladonna (Atropa Belladonna). It explains why this unusual plant can be a deadly poison and a healing remedy. Belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade and devil's cherries, is an herb in the same family as tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco, and Jimsonweed (Solanaceae). It is recognized by its purple, bell-shaped flowers, and cherry-like blackberries. Native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, Belladonna is sometimes cultivated as an ornamental plant in the US [1, 2]. Belladonna is very poisonous. It contains up to 20 different alkaloids. Its alkaloids are anticholinergics, which block the "rest-and-digest" action of acetylcholine in the body. One of the main active compounds is hyoscyamine, which is converted into a mixture called atropine in the body [1, 2]. Cholinergic activity in the body is generally beneficial, unlike fight-or-flight overdrive. However, blocking cholinergic activity is helpful for some diseases, especially when it comes to respiratory disorders. Belladonna can relax blocked airways and relieve headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, and menopausal symptoms [3, 4, 5, 6]. The therapeutic potential of Belladonna was explored in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Belladonna and its alkaloids were used to improve conditions such as:

Asthma [7, 8]

Pneumonia [9, 10]

Parkinson's disease [11, 12]

Huntington's disease [13, 14]

Motion sickness [15]

Scarlet fever [16]

Bowel obstruction [17, 18]

Indigestion [19]

Diabetes insipidus, a rare condition caused by problems with a chemical called vasopressin [20, 21]

Joint and nerve pain [22, 23, 24]

Weakness in the muscles and tissues of the groin (inguinal hernia) [25] Belladonna is still available as a component of conventional medicines such as Bellergal (0.2 mg alkaloids) and Donnatal (0.13 mg alkaloids). However, these have largely been replaced by safer compounds with more specific effects. Belladonna is also sold as an herbal preparation and homeopathic remedy [2]. Belladonna, also known as the deadly nightshade, is a poisonous plant in the same family as potatoes, tomatoes, and tobacco. It contains many toxic compounds, but in tiny quantities, it is believed to have some therapeutic potential. Homeopathic Uses of Belladonna Belladonna has been used in homeopathy since its origins, dating to over 200 years ago when Samuel Hahnemann (the founder of homeopathy) prescribed it for scarlet fever. Homeopathic Belladonna is used for several conditions, including migraines, menopausal complaints, otitis, sore throat, pink eye, and runny nose. However, the FDA disapproves of using homeopathic remedies for any conditions [26]. What's the Difference Between Homeopathic and Herbal Belladonna? It's essential to discriminate between herbal preparations and homeopathic ones. Homeopathic remedies are not the same as herbal tinctures, extracts, and other products used in conventional and herbal medicine in an evidence-based way. Sometimes, herbal products are combined with homeopathic remedies. However, homeopathy relies on entirely different principles, such as the vital force, to explain how the remedies supposedly act. Homeopathy also uses many toxic substances in regular, oral doses, including Belladonna. Substances are diluted in water or alcohol in a process called "dynamization" or "potentisation" and are thought to exert an energetic effect on the body. Based on the belief that "like cures like", homeopaths choose remedies based on the results of so-called "remedy provings". In these trials, healthy people take the substance to find out which effects it produces. Homeopaths will eventually use it to cure ill people with similar symptoms [27+]. However, in 4 remedies proven on over 400 healthy people, homeopathic belladonna 30C didn't cause more symptoms than placebo [28, 29, 30, 31]. Homeopathic preparations are commonly critiqued for using such high dilutions that they contain only a few or no molecules of the active compound. Homeopathy does not consider that the effects of the remedies come from the active components of the substance used. Scientific evidence does not support homeopathy's claims. Indeed, a meta-analysis concluded that homeopathic remedies had no effect beyond placebo [32]. Homeopathic belladonna preparations are available, but there is no scientific evidence that they work. In fact, a meta-analysis found that homeopathic remedies are no more effective than placebos. Understanding Homeopathic Dilutions and Doses Homeopathic dilutions are written as a number followed by a letter (e.g., 30C). The number is how many times the diluting process was performed. The letter represents the dilution factor, or how much the substance was diluted [33+]:

X or D: 1/10 means it was diluted 10 times and contains 10% of the active compound; 1 part of extract per 10 of alcohol or water

C: 1/100

M: 1/1,000,000 So, a homeopathic belladonna remedy labeled 10X would contain only about 0.000000001% Belladonna. One labeled 30C would contain much less, meaning the substance was 30 times diluted by 100. Because homeopathic belladonna preparations are not standardized, comparing the doses of different products is almost impossible. But it's worth noting that most probably do not contain Belladonna. The upside of this is that, unless adulterated or improperly diluted, they act similar to placebo and won't cause serious side effects or drug interactions [34]. Homeopathic products are often diluted to make it impossible to compare doses between products. Furthermore, most homeopathic belladonna products are so diluted that they contain no belladonna. Insufficient Evidence for: The following purported benefits are only supported by limited, low-quality clinical studies. There is insufficient evidence to support the use of homeopathic medicine for any of the listed uses below. Remember to speak with a doctor before using homeopathic Belladonna, and never use it in place of something your doctor recommends or prescribes. 1) Runny Nose In two studies on over 2,600 children with upper respiratory tract infections and nasal allergies, homeopathic Belladonna (6C and 30C) improved runny and stuffy noses. However, neither of them was placebo-controlled [35, 36]. 2) Menopausal Symptoms In an observational study on over 400 menopausal women, 300 noticed an improvement in their symptoms, and 83 stopped experiencing hot flashes after homeopathic therapy. Belladonna was the second most commonly prescribed remedy. However, the dilution was not specified, and the study didn't include placebo controls [37].

It shortened the duration of the symptoms compared to conventional medicines. However, the dilution of the remedies was not specified, and the study was neither randomized nor blinded [38]. 4) Acute Brain Inflammation In a clinical trial on over 600 children with acute brain inflammation (encephalitis), homeopathic Belladonna (30C, 200C, and 1M) added to conventional therapy reduced death and disability better than placebo. The study had some risk of bias because the groups were not blinded to the researchers, and the disability evaluation was subjective [39]. 5) Skin Damage from Radiotherapy In a clinical trial on 66 women undergoing radiotherapy after breast cancer surgery, both belladonna 7C and another homeopathic preparation (X-Ray 15C) slightly improved skin inflammation when compared to placebo. However, the results were based on a subjective evaluation of the symptoms [40]. 6) Tonsil Inflammation In a clinical trial on 30 children, a homeopathic complex with Belladonna (4C) improved tonsil inflammation caused by viral infections. It reduced pain in the tonsils and ears, and after swallowing, it was better than placebo. However, the placebo group included almost 3 times more girls, who are more prone to tonsil inflammation and experienced more incredible pain on day 1 [41, 42]. Researchers have investigated whether homeopathic Belladonna could help with several inflammatory conditions, menopausal symptoms, and runny nose, but there is insufficient evidence to recommend it. Possibly Ineffective for: Migraines In an observational study on 168 children, one-third received homeopathic Belladonna (normally 9C) to manage their migraine attacks. Belladonna reduced the duration of the attacks and school absence, but the results were inconclusive because the study didn’t include placebo controls [43]. In a clinical trial on 60 people, homeopathic Belladonna did not affect migraines at a lower concentration (30C). Indeed, two reviews concluded that homeopathy does not affect migraines beyond placebo [44, 45, 46]. A review of clinical evidence found that homeopathic Belladonna was no more effective than a placebo at reducing migraines. Lack of Evidence for: Epilepsy In a study in epileptic dogs, homeopathic Belladonna (200C) reduced the frequency of the seizures. However, the study was microscopic, and no human research has been conducted on this potential benefit [47]. Other Conditions Anecdotally, homeopathic Belladonna is used as a remedy for:

High fever and confusion

Inflammation

Cold and flu

Teething in babies

Seizures, vomiting, and nausea in children

Asthma and cough However, no preclinical or human studies have confirmed its benefits for these health concerns. Some people use homeopathic Belladonna for several purposes that have not been studied in a clinical setting. There is no evidence to support these uses. Toxicity, Safety & Side Effects Although homeopathic remedies are usually diluted so high that they contain few or no molecules of the active compound, the level of belladonna alkaloids may be high enough to cause adverse effects if improperly diluted. After over 400 cases of adverse effects (including 10 deaths) were reported in babies taking homeopathic Belladonna teething tablets, the FDA warned against their use, and some manufacturers stopped producing them. In a recent laboratory analysis, the FDA found that Hyland’s teething tablets contained alkaloid levels exceeding the amount stated on the label and asked the company to recall them [48]. Other adverse effects reported after using homeopathic Belladonna include:

Seizures and fever from belladonna tablets (dilution not specified) for colics in a baby [49]

Blurred vision, headache, and memory loss from a Belladonna 6X cream in a man [50]

Unequal size of the pupils (anisocoria) from Belladonna 6X eye drops in a woman [51] For more about the dangers of belladonna poisoning, check out this post. Even though most homeopathic remedies effectively contain no belladonna, improper dilution may result in dangerous levels of alkaloids remaining in the product. Supplementation Homeopathic Belladonna is usually sold as pills. The most common dilutions are 6C, 30C, 200C, and 1M [35, 36, 39]. Other forms of supplementation for homeopathic Belladonna include [49, 50, 52, 51]:

Tablets

Creams

Ointments

Eye drops Dosage The doses used in trials testing homeopathic Belladonna were:

Migraines: belladonna 9C and 30C, as needed [43, 44]

Runny nose: belladonna 6C or a kit containing belladonna 30C and other remedies, as needed [35, 36]

Ear inflammation (otitis): 30 globules/day (dilution not specified) combined with other remedies [38]

Acute brain inflammation (encephalitis): belladonna 30C, 200C, and 1M, as needed [39]

Skin reactions caused by radiotherapy: belladonna 7C, as per needed [40]

Tonsil inflammation: 2 belladonna 4C tablets, 4x/day [41] Limitations and Caveats Homeopathic Belladonna was usually given as needed in the trials, so comparing its effects in different studies or people in the same survey is difficult. Most studies on homeopathic Belladonna had design flaws such as:

Lack of placebo controls [43, 35, 36, 37]

Lack of blinding or randomization [38, 39]

Not specifying the dilution used [37, 38]

Results primarily based on subjective measures [40, 39]

An uneven composition of groups despite randomization [41] Additionally, some were funded by the companies selling the remedies, most health claims were investigated in only one study, and one (improvement of epilepsy) was only tested in dogs. Takeaway Belladonna is a plant rich in alkaloids with a dark past. It is deadly in high amounts and potentially useful at lower doses. When combined with other drugs, it may improve irritable bowel disease, menopausal complaints, headaches, and surgical pain. However, it is generally safe when taken at the doses prescribed by doctors or contained in properly diluted homeopathic remedies. However, exceeding the doses or eating the plant can cause severe poisoning. Overall, safer and more effective alternatives are available for most conditions where Belladonna can be used.

hi there, cherry!

i read tears in the rain (again! no one is surprised) and it got me thinking - will a person who underwent surgery have any marks left on their chest, like scars or stitches? or as a part of the lore, do they magically disappear? i've never read hanahaki disease fics before yours so i am unaware of this just yet..

i just can't stop thinking about how the reader would see it all the time and try their best to remember why they had it but to no avail, while everybody around them probably avoids having to answer their questions truthfully. it hurts, but in a good way (god i love angst so much)

hope you're having a good day, and thank you

i love your stories as much as i love you!

hi, poppet!

solid question - and here's the thing. folklore has a plethora of explanations, so from my research, it's more common that the person who had the surgery doesn't remember the reason they had surgery, and their scars heal crazy fast so they're no longer there.

however, there's a thousand ways to write Hanahaki so there's a possibility that there's scars. and the very idea that baby girl has to look at them everyday but she can't remember? pure pain.

but that's such an interesting idea. like, she sees the scars and gives herself stress headaches trying to remember but she can't. her parents won't answer her, and when she asks her friends, they're swift to change the subjects.

and they're also really supportive of her scars; they might be borderline prouder of them than she. THEY remember why she needed the surgery and the bravery that was required to go through with it - so, they do their best to avoid her questions out of sheer want to protect her.

wanna be hurt more? what if it's Eddie that tells her she had surgery?

hear me out - he avoids her, gives her space, doesn't want to hurt her anymore. and he finds himself at Lover's Lake, in the spot they always hung out in; just smoking and watching the creepily-still lake surface.

he hears someone approaching but doesn't react because he just wants to be alone and prays whoever it is moves on.

but then you're sitting next to him after spotting him and figuring it was okay to approach because you thought you wanted to be alone too, but something in your stomach twists and you'll shyly introducing yourself to the boy you shared History class with, missing the single tear that falls from his eye out of pain. he'll play along and choke back his rest of his tears before you're asking him for a hit of the joint he's smoking.

he'll pin you with a confused look, "you can't smoke."

"why not?"

"you just had surgery, like, 3 months ago."

your head cocks, "you know?"

"course i do."

"well, do you know where the surgery was?"

he'll, again, pin you with a confused look. "what do you mean?"

"well, i can see the scars but i can't remember why i needed surgery."

he nods slowly, so fucking slow it's almost missed. he'll take a long pull of his joint and his eyes will fall to the dark dirt beneath you both; moon casting the only light.

"you had surgery on your lungs."

he takes a long hit to halt the emotion on his tongue.

"what was wrong with them? i can't remember that either, and nobody wants to tell me..."

he'll feel this overwhelming empathy because he figures you deserve to know what happened to you. "you were dying," he'll admit quietly, drawing his knees in and hooking his arms around them. "and you made a really brave decision to have the surgery. it... it saved your life, so, maybe that's why they don't wanna talk about it. it scared them that they'd lose you, so, they don't want you to remember that pain."

"what pain?" your voice is in a whisper.

and he'll finally look at you and the moon's glow will make his eyes shine brightly; you'll clock his tears as they fall, but you're distracted by his words, "the pain i caused you."

i'm hurt again. but i love you, too, poppet!! thank you for sending this in!! 🖤

edit: i'm supposed to be resting but wonky brain now can't let this idea go so guess who's outlining and fleshing out fics!! lowkey might have to incorporate this into a fic 🤔

4. Bee pollen: When mixed with food it can boost energy, aid digestion and enhance the immune system. If you’re allergic to bee stings you will most likely be allergic to bee pollen.

5. Beeswax: Used as a salve for burns and insect bites, including bee stings. Intended to only be used externally.

19. Goldenrod: Commonly thought of today as a source of allergies and sneezing, it was actually considered another all-in-one medicine by Native Americans.

“Video games have saved Cherry Thompson’s life many times, from ‘80s game Rainbow Islands providing escape from a difficult childhood to Pokémon Red giving solace when Thompson was a homeless teenager. Games were about community, therapy, adventure and passion.

But more than six years ago, Thompson had a stroke at age 31 that led to vestibular and cognitive disabilities and a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that weakens joints, skin, blood vessels and muscles. Thompson, who uses they/them/their pronouns, wanted to play games to cope with pain and surgeries, but found many games impossible to play without suffering severe migraines, motion sickness, hand pain and other barriers.

“I really, really struggled,” says Thompson, who’s also autistic with co-occuring dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which affect how they process information and play games. “But as I slowly came to terms with my disabilities, it was revolutionary, because I realized the problem was with the games, and not with me.”

Now a well-known game accessibility specialist and developer in Vancouver, Canada, Thompson recently got a chance to try out Gears 5 — a game with a long list of accessibility features that mean more people can play it. With a stronger focus on inclusivity than ever before, The Coalition studio developed the third-person shooter and latest installment in the Gears of War series, released in September by Xbox Game Studios. The game has since been widely lauded for its thoughtful accessibility.

Unlike with Gears of War 4, Thompson can actually play Gears 5, thanks to a new option to turn off “camera shake,” or quick camera movements that trigger their vertigo, nausea and headaches. They can customize an on-screen display of information to minimize distractions and sensory overload while playing. And even though their hearing is fine, improved subtitles in an adjustable text size helps them process information.”

Recommend an herb blend against anxiety and for motivation + energy (that doesn't make me jittery) please :( Also something good for joints if possible?

Tulsi!!! also known as Holy Basil, it’s an adaptogenic herb, which means it helps the body handle stress. Tulsi is relaxing without making you sleepy; honestly for me drinking a cup of tulsi tea feels like a comforting hug (and my brother reported similar effects for him)

You might also try kava kava, a root which is better taken in tincture form. It can produce a state of calm focus, both energizing and easing anxiety. It affects everyone slightly differently (and also has a bit of a numbing effect on the tongue, which can be off-putting, but it’s not harmful and goes away quickly!), for me I’ve gotten that calm focused state in the daytime, but it also helps me sleep when paired with chamomile and lavender tea, and on multiple occasions I’ve had it totally wipe out a tension headache (whereas most other herbal remedies just temporarily relieve the pain)

For joint pain, the first thing I’d recommend is a magnesium oil spray. Magnesium is an important mineral that most people are deficient in, and it helps with joint and muscle pain as well as calming the mind. The best form of magnesium is magnesium chloride, and it’s most readily absorbed into the cells through the skin (rather than taken internally). Spray some on the bottoms of your feet before bed, or the inside of the arms and back of the neck (anywhere the skin is thin, really). (this is similar to epsom salts, but those are usually magnesium sulfate, which isn’t quite as readily absorbed. in a pinch, regular epsom salt baths or foot soaks are a good substitute for the spray)

My final recommendation is tart cherry, which can be found as juice, capsules, or powder. Tart cherry can help relieve joint pain and inflammation, and it contains naturally occurring melatonin, which is the sleep hormone that your brain produces

Food poisoning remedies:

Basil (Purple Basil or Holy Basil):

Basil leaf is a fantastic herb that is widely acclaimed for its refreshing flavor and for its innumerable medicinal properties. Basil leaves can cure a variety of health conditions ranging from ear infection to food poisoning.

The potent anti-bacterial properties of basil leaves can heal acute stomach infection caused by eating tainted foods and / or drinking contaminated water. Basil leaves also provide immediate relief from diarrhea and vomiting which are the main symptoms of food poisoning.

Grind a handful of fresh basil leaves in a mortar and pestle. To the freshly ground basil leaves, add a pinch of black salt, a pinch of black pepper and three to four tablespoons of plain yoghurt.

Mix the ingredients well. Have the basil leaves and yoghurt blend a couple of times a day (at least three to four times) to overcome food poisoning.

Purple basil tea is also an excellent option

Garlic:

Garlic is an indispensable flavoring agent in cooking. But for over five thousand years, this humble herb has been used as a potent ingredient, in numerous traditional medicines to heal a variety of illnesses. Medical research has revealed the fact that the diallyl sulphide present in garlic, is one hundred time more effective than conventional antibiotics when it comes to curing food poisoning. The antiviral, antibacterial and anti fungal properties of garlic ,can annihilate the microbes which are responsible for causing food poisoning.

Grind one to two whole garlic cloves in a stone mortar and pestle. Dilute the garlic paste in a glass of warm water. Drink this concoction to get relief from the symptoms associated with food poisoning.

Cinnamon:

Cinnamon known as the ‘spice of life’ can effectively fight the bugs which causes food poisoning. Cinnamon contains numerous potent components which can kill several types of bacteria including E.Coli. To cure food poisoning, drink plenty of freshly brewed cinnamon tea. To prepare cinnamon tea, add one or two cinnamon quills (about 3 inches long) to one and a half cups of water. Allow the water to slow boil in a saucepan for twenty to twenty five minutes. When the water starts to boil remove the saucepan from the heat source. Allow the cinnamon sticks to steep in the water for five minutes. Strain the tea through a very fine sieve into a clean cup. Sip this tea slowly to get lasting relief from the symptoms associated with food poisoning.

Honey (Manuka Honey):

Honey is not only nature’s energy booster, but it is also a wonderful natural remedy for numerous ailments. Honey which is touted for its innumerable beneficial properties is also an effective home remedy for food poisoning. Honey, especially organic honey like ‘Manuka honey’ has potent antibacterial properties that can thwart the growth of bacterial strains which are responsible for food poisoning. Organic honey also helps to reduce inflammation of the intestinal tract, due to food poisoning.

Dilute one teaspoon of organic honey in a glass of luke warm water. Drink this sweet concoction two or three times a day to get relief from food poisoning.
