Cooties
You are pissed.
You feel like shit, and you’re pissed about it.
Less than 48 hours ago you started to feel a dull aching in your back that you tried to write off as stiffness. Shortly after, when your throat constricted painfully when trying to swallow, you knew you were in for. Rio clocked the impending illness rather quickly.
-
“Sweetheart, are you okay?” Rio’s tone was gentle, but cautious. Too cautious.
“I’m fine, Rio.” You snapped. If Rio’s eyes doubling in size was any indication then your bark must’ve carried its bite.
“Right,” Rio drawled, “so is this an emotional grouchy or a physical grouchy?”
“Neither,” You rolled your eyes at how easy it was for Rio to breeze past your harshness.
It only took a tilt of Rio’s head to earn a heavy sigh of defeat from you.
“I think I’m getting fucking sick.” You mumbled through an unabashed pout, your anger rapidly deflating under Rio’s attention.
“Oh, I see,” Rio coaxed, “I’m so sorry, baby.”
Rio’s arms wrapped you in warmth and a gentle kiss on the forehead followed.
As Rio pulled away, you grimaced at the look of concern you found etched into her features.
“You do feel warm,” Rio confirmed, cementing your fate.
“Noooooo,” you whined, burying your head in your hands.
“Hush,” Rio soothed while prying your hands away from your face, “None of that.”
-
That was just last night, but it seemed like an eternity since Rio had rummaged through the medicine cabinet for some ‘preventative’ treatment.
-
She had proudly presented a small cup full of purple-ish liquid and a few pills of varying sizes. When you hesitated to relieve her of the bounty of medicine she brought you, she rolled her eyes.
“Seriously? If I was going to poison you I would’ve done it by now,” she reasoned, clearly unimpressed with you.
“It’s not that,” you croaked plainly through your growing congestion, “We do happen to know a doctor though. Should we maybe wait for her recommended course of treatment?”
Rio analyzed you with equal parts suspicion and humor. Her annoyance carried little weight, but she maintained her rouse of offense just the same. You couldn’t handle the hurt, even fueled by jest, that tore at you from deeply brown eyes.
“Fine. I’ll take the mystery drugs. Can you get me something to get the taste out of my mouth?” You had mostly trained yourself out of your gag reflex, but liquid medicine always served to remind you had one. Your stomach felt queasy just thinking about downing the thick, syrupy, mentholated liquid.
As soon as Rio exited the bedroom to retrieve you something with a stronger flavor than the medicine, you hurriedly grabbed your phone.
Aggie 💜
You: Hypothetically, if I started feeling crummy 2 days ago and now feel like I got hit by a bus…would I need to take a purple liquid, a gel capsul, a white pill that’s the size of my face, and a pill that looks like a little red m&m?
Three gray dots danced for a few seconds before disappearing. They reappeared for a split second before Agatha’s contact photo appeared from an incoming FaceTime call. You had barely pressed ‘accept’ before Agatha began pressing you for answers.
“You know better than to not tell me when you aren’t feeling well,” she admonished through the phone.
She was nestled into a too-well lit hallway that looked to be the definition of sterile. Her hair was up in a ponytail and youl noticed the dark circles that settled under her eyes. She looked tired- so, so tired. Guilt didn’t have much time to eat away at you before she continued.
“When did your symptoms start? Are you running a fever? Where’s Rio? I need to know what she’s trying to drug you with.”
“I’m fine, Aggie.” your voice gave out halfway through her name and she gave you her best unimpressed face.
“Yeah? Then why do you sound like Steve-O swallowed a frog?” Her comeback was punctuated by a laugh from the doorway.
You groan when your eyes land on Rio sauntering toward you with a Diet Coke and an assortment of your favorite snacks. The last thing you needed, on what was surely your deathbed, was getting tag teamed.
“Good one, babe,” Rio calls to the phone before her eyes landed on you, “Steve-O the Snitch has a nice ring to it.”
“Almost as good as Dr. Vidal.” Agatha’s look was pointed and it melted the smirk off of Rio’s face in an unprecedented amount of time.
“I channeled you, Dr. Harkness. Want me to show you the bottles?” Rio laughed, but Agatha didn’t.
“Yes, actually.” both you and Rio waited to see if she was joking. She was not.
“Yeah, okay,” Rio conceded and grabbed your phone before swiftly exiting the room.
You could only make out a few words before their voices were too far to hear. From what you could tell, Agatha was accepting Rio’s compliments on her description of your voice.
They’d both pay for their smugness. One day…when you didn’t feel like you might die. You threw your head back against the pillows which only served to make you dizzy from the quick movement. You mourned the times you took a non-stuffy nose and a clear chest for granted. Your wallowing-in-pity was interrupted by the soft patter of Rio’s footsteps coming toward you. A sigh of relief escaped you when you heard Agatha through your phone.
Good, you thought. You wanted the chance to tell her goodbye. An ache buried itself in your chest. Agatha had been at the hospital for almost 72 hours and you missed her. Your rapidly on-setting illness only heightened the ache and you felt your throat constrict against the swelling emotions.
“Cleared for take off, bunny,” Agatha announced when Rio handed your phone back to you. “Rio just needs to take your temperature first then you can take the meds. You need rest- so no reading or scrolling or whatever you choose to do until 1 AM. Understood?”
From beyond your phone, Rio made a face to poke fun at Agatha’s intensity. When you chuckled, Agatha spoke far more gently, but still firmly.
“I mean it, love. You won’t get better if you don’t give your body time to fight whatever has a hold on you. The meds are going to try and knock you out. Will you be good for me and not fight it?”
The gentle prodding and soothing of Agatha’s tone turned you into putty. You were becoming more and more pliable and cared less and less about fighting it off. As if she could read your mind, Rio settled into the bed next to you and kissed the top of your head.
“I’ve got our little fighter, Dr. Harkness,” Rio said surely, “They’ll be good. I’ll make sure of it.” Rio’s voice dipped lower and you felt her hand reach down and give you a soft pinch on your side.
“I have no doubt,” Agatha feigned uncertainty, but you both could see a smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “Behave- both of you. When I get home in a few hours you both better be asleep.”
“Aye, aye, Captain.” Rio chuckled before reaching for the phone to end the call. “We both love you very dearly. Have a good rest of your shift, be nice to the interns, goodbye!” Rio rushed, likely in an effort to rile Agatha up.
“And clothed! Rio, I mean—” Agatha’s frantic final words were cut short when Rio tapped the ‘end’ button. She chuckled conspiratorially before setting your phone on the headboard and turning her full attention toward you.
“You think she’ll come home early just to kill me?” Rio teased, fishing a thermometer out of the pocket of her joggers.
“If she comes home early it’ll be to check on me. Killing you would be an afterthought.” Your smugness had its intended result and Rio’s jaw fell open in offense.
“Open up, you little shit.” She chuckled with you before nestling the thermometer under your tongue and tapping a finger under your chin so you’d close your mouth around it.
You let her give you the medicine and help you sip on the Diet Coke she had brought. After putting on a movie you’d both seen way too many times, you fell asleep halfway through the pack of sour gummy worms she slowly fed you one by one while she softly scratched your scalp.
-
Now, you wince at the small bit of light that peaks around the edges of the blackout blinds that line the bedroom windows. The same hands that soothed you to sleep offer you more medicine and your favorite bottle filled with, presumably, fresh water. When Rio raises a finger to her lips to indicate you should be quiet, you become aware of the warm weight nestled into your back and thrown over your side. Agatha is home.
You nod your understanding to Rio and quickly take the meds. Your entire body aches and you feel like you’ve been water boarded. An uncomfortable amount of weight is pressing into your skull and you're sure your head could explode. Still, the pressure can’t dim the tinge of excitement you feel now that Agatha is finally home. You skillfully down the pills with a silent swig of water. Fueled by the subtle pride in Rio’s eyes, you throw back the shot of liquid medicine like you were 19 again at a bar that never ID’d.
This proves to be a mistake as the iciness of the syrup hits the back of your throat. You grimace and your lungs falter as you try to out-will the need to choke, gag, or do anything but swallow the medicine that was quickly coating every corner of your mouth. Rio mouths ‘swallow’ and you focus all of your energy on following the order. This focus is stolen when a familiar shushing meets your ear.
“Relax, baby,” Agatha mumbles through sleep, “Un-tense your shoulders. Breathe as much as you can through your nose.”
You let her instructions will your actions. Your shoulders fall and stay relaxed even when Rio giggles at the whistling noise your nose makes when you try to breathe through it.
“Now swallow,” Agatha groggily coaxes.
You comply effortlessly and in the haze of stuffiness and recent slumber you're mesmerized by the sure comfort the woman holding on to you provides.
“Good, bunny. Now come here.” The pet name cements your headspace and you help her turn your body towards her.
Her eyes remain shut, and your heart flutters at the easy confidence she cares for you with. She doesn't need to rouse from her place of sleep to settle you down. Agatha never has to make you feel safe, because when she is near safe is all you are. This truth sings sweetly as she nestles you under her chin and plants her lips softly on your forehead. She grunts before sliding her hands up the back of your t-shirt and holding you as closely as she can.
“You have a fever,” She lazily declares before you wiggle a leg in between hers, aiming to get impossibly closer. “The medicine will help soon. Rest your eyes, bun.”
You would prefer to stare at how peace is settled into all of her features. The small, relaxed lines earned from years of laughter, worry, and joy begin to blur as your eyelids feel heavier and heavier. You move to match her by sliding your hands up her vastly oversized shirt. As your hands travel up to find her back you can’t help but to give her ass a light squeeze on the way. This earns you a small chuckle before the feeling of Agatha’s cool skin and her gentle caresses on your back lull you back to sleep.
The next time you wake, your throat is painfully dry and Agatha’s presence is noticeably vacant. You grunt before stirring, grumbling through words that aren’t fully forming yet.
“I like the way you think.” Rio chuckles at your grumbles as she finishes the paragraph she is reading and marks her place for later. “Tell me more, mi corazoncito.”
“Everything hurts,” You groan, “If you’re secretly death, you can take me now. Put me out of my misery.”
“I would never,” Rio feigns offense, “not when you don’t say please.”
Her smile is replaced with the shape of an offered kiss. It is unclear whether the growing dizziness is due to your illness or the pillowy lips that lazily meet yours.
“Don’t wanna get you sick,” you croak as you push against her shoulder.
“Hush. I’m death remember? I’ve come to take you,” Rio offers suggestively.
Before you can respond to her antics, another voice breaks through the remnants of the quiet barrier left from the morning.
“Trying to seduce our patient, Dr. Vidal?” Agatha questions with a raised brow from the doorway.
“Trying would imply that I’m not succeeding,” Rio smirks and you roll your eyes. You aren’t opposed. For some reason, being sick makes you feel extra needy and you’ve always been prone to trying everything you can to get one or both of them inside of you.
You do, however, want to shower first. You figure your fever broke twice as you feel damp but also layered with the remnants of older sweat.
“You are not succeeding because someone needs a bath,” Agatha’s eyes playfully dare Rio to challenge her and she continues when it looks like Rio might, “The real doctor is ordering a bath. Keep your cock away from our patient or I’ll order a cage for our little friend.”
The snickering that escapes you throws you into a coughing fit and Rio looks torn between concern for you and offense at Agatha. Once you recover and they are certain you are getting enough oxygen Agatha goes to the connected bathroom to run the previously prescribed bath. Imagining the warm water soothing your muscles is much more enticing than the thought of hauling yourself out of the bed.
Rio answers a request you never verbalize when she effortlessly hoists you into her arms and begins carrying you to the bath. She stops after a few steps and her eyebrows furrow.
“Did she just call my dick little?” She looks into your eyes earnestly and you know she is waiting hopefully for your laughter. You don’t make her wait for long.
After the incredible bath you still feel dull, but somewhat rejuvenated. You are able to stomach a hearty portion of soup and crackers and you reel in the murmurs of approval and praise from both Agatha and Rio. Though you still feel the weight of your congestion, your body aches far less than it had this morning.
Now, you are sprawled out between Agatha and Rio on the couch. Your head is in Agatha’s lap and Rio sits underneath your thighs. Their hands lay entwined on your stomach and you find the way Rio’s thumb brushes over Agatha’s hand in time with the gentle massaging Rio gives your thighs much more interesting than whatever was on TV. The three of you aren’t often able to lounge around for an entire day doing absolutely nothing and you relish in the peace that surrounds you.
Your need for closeness begins to swell and suddenly laying on the two women isn’t quite enough. Before the nibbling of the inside of your cheek can become noticeable you begin to draw lazy patterns over Agatha’s tummy. She quirks a brow, but makes no move to stop you or look down at you. You let your finger drag a line on her t-shirt over the underside of her breast before you trace what you assume is her areola. Your finger catches on a quickly budding nipple and Agatha inhales sharply.
When your eyes flick to hers you find far more need than you thought you would. You remember, all at once, that while Agatha worked her 72 hour shift she missed you and Rio just as much as you both missed her. The concern she expressed when she found out you were sick wasn’t surprising, but the way she’d clung to you since she got home and carefully watched over you now makes you realize how much not being able to care for you while on her shift must have affected her.
Agatha’s hand unlaces from Rio’s and caresses your cheek. Your breath hitches as she lifts her shirt and scoots down just enough to where if you turn your head you’ll have easy access to her nipples. You feel your face burn red when you feel Rio’s newly free hand sneak under your shirt and rub your stomach just above your underwear.
“I think Mommy wants to make you feel better, bunny.” Rio speaks lowly and it makes your stomach tighten under her touch.
Rio scoots closer and your ass now rests fully in her lap. You feel her bulge poking against where your ass meets your thighs and you clench around a painful nothingness. You meet Agatha’s eyes, asking permission, and she coaxes you closer to her chest.
“Daddy’s right, baby. See, because I’m your Mommy I have special superpowers. I was worried about you before you even texted me. There was something in my body that just wouldn’t settle quite right.” She continues to stroke your cheek as she speaks, “One of my residents asked me a question and I didn’t even hear it. He repeated himself three times before I had to tell him to bug off.”
Your smirk at imagining Agatha looking at the resident like he had three heads is matched by a chuckle from Rio.
“Bohner?” Rio asks, knowingly.
“Had to be Bohner,” you confirm before looking back at Agatha for confirmation.
Ever the show woman, she relishes in making you both wait. After a beat of silence she relents.
“It was Bohner,” She smirks, clearly enjoying her ability to play to her favorite audience, “But as I was saying…my superpowers mean I can feel what you need.”
Her eyes pool with lust and its hard to feel anything but the weight of her attention.
“It makes me need you too. Can you be good for us, baby?”
You nod and let yourself be guided to one of Agatha’s nipples. She lets out a guttural moan when you begin lapping and nipping at her. You don’t unlatch until Rio’s cock rubbing you through your underwear makes you gasp.
‘You’re so fucking wet,” Rio speaks in equal parts awe and lust, “Daddy forgot how needy your body gets when you’re sick.”
Agatha’s body jerks beneath you and you realize she is touching herself. Rio must realize too, because she grunts and bucks her hips. Her cock is nestled against your cunt and poking out from in between your thighs. You try your best to gain more friction to no avail.
“Mommy must like watching Daddy rub against your pussy, bunny. Be quiet now, let’s see if we can hear how wet Mommy is for us.”
Agatha groans and shifts. The sudden squelching makes it clear she has moved from her clit to fingering herself. You let out a pathetic whine and your strained voice isn’t louder than the raunchy, wet noises coming from Agatha’s cunt.
“Fuck, Mommy.” You groan and the noises only get louder and faster.
Her eyes fall to you and you’ve never seen her more hungry and wanton. She shushes you and guides you back to her nipple.
“That’s it, baby. You make Mommy feel so good. Mommy’s going to cum for you and then help Daddy make you feel good, okay? Just keep going—” Agatha cuts herself off with a loud moan.
“Fuck, Aggie. I bet you’re going to squirt for us. The only time your cunt sounds that greedy is when it wants to put on a show.” Rio’s cock is so close to your clit. If she just pressed up a little further… “What do you think, bun? Do you want to see Mommy make a mess for us?”
“Mommy’s going to cum for you both. Turn around, baby. Watch Mommy fuck herself.” Agatha is panting through her commands, “You’re so good for me. Letting Daddy fuck your thighs while I make myself feel good. I can’t wait until these fingers are making you feel good too. Maybe I’ll use my cum to make sure Daddy’s cock is nice and wet for you, hmm? Is that you want, bunny? Daddy fucking you full of her and Mommy’s cum?”
“Yes, Mommy,” you whine. “Please cum for me.”
“Tell me you need it, bunny.” Agatha’s demand sounds dangerously close to a plea and you are certain Rio can feel your cunt throb.
“I need your cum, Mommy. I need you.” You know you sound pathetic, especially through your floaty, congested stupor.
You feel wetness smear on your thigh and realize Rio is leaking precum. This realization doesn’t have time to melt your insides because your eyes catch the frantic movement of Agatha’s hand as she fucks into herself. You're surprised to find every finger but her thumb buried deeply in herself.
It doesn’t take much longer for Agatha to explode. A near-silent scream is punctuated by a yelp and then the soft patter of liquid falling across the coffee table and floor. Your head falls with Agatha’s rapid breathing and you figure you’d be content to stay here forever. Rio, however, has other plans.
She scoots out from under your legs and towers over you before leaning down and giving Agatha a soft kiss that teeters on hungry.
“You should let us watch you fuck yourself more often,” Rio teases before pulling away from Agatha. “That was fucking hot.”
“I’ll consider it. Take this one to bed, please.” Agatha looks down at you and smiles when you begin to fuss at the idea of moving. “None of that, bunny. I’m coming too, don’t worry.”
With her promise, you allow Rio to hoist you into her arms and cart you off to bed. Agatha is close behind, a familiar brown bag in tow. As soon as Rio settles you down onto the bed, you clock Agatha’s slight demeanor change. You don’t dream of complaining because seeing your wife in doctor mode was hot.
You let her check your pulse with the thin analog watch that sat on her wrist- face turned inward. You memorize the path of the small furrow in her brow as she concentrates. She pulls her stethoscope out of her bag and she attempts to pull you upwards so she can access your back. When a groan escapes you, Rio tuts and Agatha lets her take over moving you.
“Hush, bunny. Let Mommy listen.” Agatha lulls, unfazed by your fussing.
You comply, stifling a hiss at the cold of the stethoscope on the bare skin of your back. When Rio chuckles at your displeasure, you give her your best scowl that melts away as she places a gentle kiss on the tip of your nose.
“Big breath in,” Agatha instructs.
Rio holds her forehead to yours and takes a deep breath in, in time with your own. Each time Agatha further instructs ‘again’, Rio breathes with you. It is meditative to a point where as Agatha’s hand retreats from under the back of your shirt you find yourself disappointed.
The stethoscope is safely tucked back in Agatha’s medical bag and she produces a thermometer next. Rio is peppering your lips and cheeks with soft, pillowy kisses so you try to wave Agatha away. Her brow raises, silently asking if this is truly the hill you want to try and die on.
Either Rio has eyes in the back of her head or she knows you both too well because you feel her breathy chuckle as her lips move to your neck. She plants a kiss on the shell of your ear before whispering to you.
“Behave, bunny. Don’t forget she needs this just as much as you do.”
Rio is right. Health is Agatha’s area of expertise and she won’t be satisfied until she can tangibly prove to herself that, while you are sick, you are okay. You bite down on your lip at the feelings that threaten to bubble over at being so cared for that it impacts these two incredible women so much. Before you have the chance to comply, Agatha speaks up.
“I don’t like it when you two conspire,” she grumbles through squinted eyes. “I can always get the thermometer that goes up your—”
“NO! Look, wide open. See?” you frantically offer your open mouth, not missing the way Rio's eyes linger there for a moment too long for it to be considered wholly innocent.
Both women chuckle at you and share a knowing look. The way they can communicate without sharing any words threatens to burst your chest. You are feeling so much that trying to sort through it all was overwhelming. The loudest feeling screeching through your body is a wanton need for closeness. You need both of them. All of them. Everywhere. All at once. Rather than whine, you know the fastest way to get what you want is to continue complying.
Rio takes the thermometer from Agatha’s hand and sets it gently under your tongue.
“Close up, buttercup,” she coaches.
Agatha rolls her eyes at the rhyming and you give your best unimpressed look.
“Tough crowd,” Rio hums to herself, not even remotely put off by the lack of outward appreciation.
You are constantly in envy and awe at the sureness Rio meets life with. Sometimes, you are certain she has been dropped from another planet to observe and assess the one you share. Every interaction seems to be processed as new data to add to her understanding of the world around her. As a result, others thoughts and reactions to her own hardly ever cause her any sort of grievance. The only path for Rio is being every ounce of herself, and she is perfect.
Through your dreamy gaze that casts tiny, floating hearts around Rio’s head, you miss Agatha climbing into bed behind you. Right as the thermometer beeps Rio quickly retrieves it. You hadn’t even had time to make yourself cross eyed trying to read the number on the small screen. Rio quickly shows the number to Agatha, who only nodds her head to signal that Rio could put it away.
Part of you wants to know what your temperature was, another part of you is content with it being information you don’t need to worry about. If you need to worry, Agatha or Rio will let you know. Everything else you know they will take care of. With Agatha behind you, her legs on either side of you, and Rio gently pushing you back so you fully rest into Agatha- you feel fuzzy and warm. You are safe. You are cared for. You are loved.
As Agatha’s nails gently scratch up and down your arms, Rio quickly rids herself of her briefs. All three of you remain in oversized, worn t-shirts that have seen better days. When she settles in between your legs you squeak when you feel the staunch hardness of her cock nestle against your center.
“We love you so much, bunny,” Rio breathes in a whisper, gently rocking against you. “We’re so sorry you don’t feel well.”
“That’s right,” Agatha hums. “We can’t make it go away, but we know what your body is asking for.”
Agatha’s hand settles over your heart and the intimacy of her touch and the intensity of Rio’s gaze causes your breath to stutter.
“See, it’s part of my superpowers, you know?” Agatha continues, “It’s my job to know that when you feel icky because you’re sick it makes what’s in here louder.”
Agatha taps on your chest a few times to signify what ‘here’ is. Rio punctuates the movement by placing a tender kiss on each visible vein that runs through Agatha’s hand that's now settled back over your heart.
“If you had it your way I bet you’d want us to tote you around all day. On our hip, in a carrier, whatever meant you were nestled right against us the entire day.” You could hear the knowing smile that forms Agatha’s words. You feel your cheeks burn hot at being so known.
“You just need us close, right, bunny?” Rio speaks softly from her place above you and you whimper when her cock catches the edge of your underwear and meets your slick folds.
“Oh, God, Aggie. Our little bunny is soaked. You really do need us, don’t you?” Rio turns her attention back to you before taking a breath to steady herself.
Agatha presses a kiss to the top of your head and throws an arm across your chest, holding you near. Her other hand tenderly meets Rio’s face and their lips meet in a loving, languid kiss. There is no urgency in their movements. You all have forever to share this moment. An unspoken certainty of such echoes in the air around you before Agatha's low voice meets your ears again.
“Daddy’s going to give you everything you need, baby. Are you ready to take her? I’ll be right here.”
You nod your head, but Rio makes no movement to enter you. Only when you feel Agatha give a nod does Rio fully push the fabric that conceals you aside to sink herself deep within you.
You whimper at the sudden fullness and your eyes are entranced by Rio’s needy gaze. Agatha gently shushes you while peppering kisses on the top of your head.
“Good, bunny.” Agatha coaches, “That’s all you needed wasn’t it? For Mommy to hold you while Daddy fucked your pretty little pussy?”
Words are beyond you- you know nothing but the feeling of being doted and loved upon and the fullness that makes your belly bloom.
“We’ve got a pro on our hands- taking you so well.” Agatha feeds Rio’s thrusts with her words. “Does that feel good, Daddy? Making our little bunny feel better with your cock?”
Rio’s eyes screw shut and her head falls to your shoulder. She turns her head slightly so she can kiss your neck. It doesn’t take long before the kisses turn into pants and moans.
“Daddy, I need more.”
You pant in time with her thrusts. She nestles her hands under your hips and somehow is able to reach even deeper inside of you. You aren’t sure if its the medicine or if Rio is just that good, but you see stars. If you're honest its probably both.
You hear praise and cooing coming from both Agatha and Rio, but what they're saying is lost on you. Your body is only focused on how it feels to be consumed by Rio and enveloped by Agatha. You feel the thrusts begin to rut even deeper and know Rio is close.
“Please, Daddy. Cum in me. I need to feel you. Please, please, please. Give me your cum.”
You are a mess and you know it. You don’t always love to beg, but there is nothing else you want to do in this moment. The way you are needed just as much as you need breaks everything inside you. The only thing you are is theirs. And they are yours.
You feel dizzy, but coherent. Before you know it you are full of cum and Rio has switched places with Agatha who is now gently lapping at your folds. The moans coming from her chest are filthy and you could ascend into heaven when you see her use her tongue to move Rio’s cum up to your clit and coat you with it before giving you a wet, purposeful suck.
Rio is whispering filthy nothings into your ear: Mommy looks so good tasting my cum from you, baby. Look at how worked up you made, Mommy. You’re so good, bunny. I can tell you’re close…cum for us, mi amor.
Between her consistent stream of words that reach you in all of the right places and Agatha’s skillful tongue that knows exactly what you need and where you need it- you are somehow even more of a mess than you were with Rio inside of you.
You reach your peak at an earth shattering intensity. Once you come down, you do your best to comply anytime you hear an instruction. Despite your best efforts everything quickly becomes fuzzy before you drift into a deep, satisfied slumber.

Growing up my mom had a drawer she called “the pharmacy”. It was like a more buffed out first aid kit where we kept odds and ends for most forms of sickness and injury. I don’t know if this is a universal standard for all households, but it should be. Even from a practical standpoint, if you have a killer migraine, muscle pain, nausea, or even just a headache – the last thing you’ll want to do is stagger into a drug store.
I have been in that position a few times living on my own, and it sucks. Navigating a pharmacy is confusing enough without the added debuff of some kind of physical illness or disorientation. It can be costly to buy everything you might need all at once.
If I were to outline my own baseline for an at-home pharmacy, it would be the following:
Cough syrup (Day and Night)
Painkiller of some kind
Bandages (Varying sizes)
Alcohol pads (For cleaning certain medical equipment and wounds)
Ice pack/Heat Pack (Easy to DIY)
Antacids (For indigestion, nausea, and acid reflux)
Thermometer (Forehead is fairly accurate if you can’t do oral or ear)
That’s a reasonably sparse collection of supplies that I think can treat a variety of things. This guide is going to break down the specifics of these things and more, give some alternatives that can help you save money and tips to prevent you from hurting yourself in an effort to ease a symptom. Before we start, though, I need to address something you might be thinking if you’re anything like my wife.
Clove, cold medicine doesn’t actually cure the common cold. It just cures symptoms! So what’s the point?
Hey. I’m going to be kind here, but I’m also going to take your head in between both hands and hold it tightly in place. I’m aware something like DayQuil doesn’t cure the common cold. Rest helps though, doesn’t it? And it’s kind of hard to rest when you’re constantly leaking and coughing and sniffling, isn’t it? So you’re should probably take the medicine, my darling wife.
Okay. I'm getting distracted. Let’s get into it.
Choosing a Cold Medicine
Take one look at the shelf in the cold and flu section of your local drug store, and you’ll be hit with a variety of brands and chemicals. Some are familiar brands and some are generic. Different products have different claims. Where the fuck do you even start?
Do you have allergy-like symptoms? Itchy and irritated eyes, sneezing and coughing, nasal congestion, or some terrifying combination of any of the above? You want an antihistamine, or something that contains an antihistamine. Be aware that some antihistamines will cause brief fatigue. If that’s an issue, look for something that says non-drowsy.
Are you a little cough-guy (gender-neutral) that won’t stop coughing? You want a cough-suppressant, likely one with an active ingredient of dextromethorphan. Be wary: cough suppressants vary in effectiveness.
Specifically congested? Try a decongestant, or something that contains a decongestant! I would personally avoid nasal sprays like Afrin, as they’re weirdly addictive and can actually make inflammation worse if overused. If congestion is your main issue, consider relying more on humidity and maybe saline washes. Although saline washes suck in my personal opinion.
Are YOU the Goo Man with mucus All Up In There? An Expectorant can help loosen mucus and clear your airways. Look for something with an active ingredient of guaifenesin.
EVERYTHING HURTS HELP. Oh god get a pain reliever dude. They’re also called analgesics, and can include acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or Naproxen.
Cold medicines will often contain a mixture of the fancy science names listed above. If you’re looking to save money, you can compare the ingredients in a brand-name medicine with it’s generic equivalent.
Goo or Capsule?
Honestly, the difference is sort of negligible. Liquid absorbs slightly faster, and sometimes I don’t feel like swallowing a horse pill. You might feel differently though.
Important Note: Follow the instructions on the bottle. I’m not being a bootlicker for Big Pharma here. A regular amount of Tylenol can help with a headache. Get weird with and you’re riding the express train to liver failure.
What’s the deal with Painkillers?
I know man. Here’s the deal. With over-the-counter (or OTC) medicine, you’re mainly going to find ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Both can provide relief for pain and even reduce a fever, but ibuprofen can also reduce inflammation. Naproxen (Aleve) is a stronger anti-inflammatory than ibuprofen, but usually requires a prescription.
Pain Cocktails for Special Occasions
There are some pain relievers you might notice I haven’t mentioned yet. That’s mainly because if you take a medication like Excedrin or Midol, you’ll find they’re actually a combination of many things I already listed.
Excedrin, for instance depends on acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. A small amount of caffeine can actually help a lot with certain headaches!
*A Note on Burns*
If you have get a scald or burn of some kind, avoid treating with direct cold. Ice and cold water will actually increase the chance of blistering. The best way to treat a new, minor burn is to immediately hold it under cool or lukewarm running water for around ten minutes (Or at least until it stops hurting). After that consider taking an anti-inflammatory painkiller, and applying something like aloe vera or petroleum jelly before covering it with a bandage.
Other Ways to Treat Pain
DIY Cold Pack: Cold treatment can be very useful for acute pain and recent injuries. If you don’t have access to a dedicated ice pack, you can make a reusable gel pack by using 2 cups of water, 1 cup rubbing alcohol, and a dash of dish soap in a secure zip-top bag. You can also just use a bag of veggies from the freezer or wrap a bag of ice in a few paper towels.
DIY Heat Pack: Heat is very soothing for relief from chronic and muscular pain. If you don’t have a heat pad or access to a hot bath, you can make a reusable heat pad by filling a clean sock with uncooked rice or oatmeal and sealing the end. Microwave it at no more than a minute at a time, testing it until it’s at a good temperature.
IMPORTANT: For heat and cold packs, avoid treating the area for more than 20 minutes at a time, or you run the risk of heat or cold burn.
Cannabinoids: How to Tell Them Apart
This isn’t where I explain why it’s worth keeping a pack of edibles in your pharmacy. There’s definite medicinal benefits to THC, but I’m going to let you decide for yourself if that’s something you want to keep on hand. For this section I’m specifically focusing on cannabinoids other than THC. A lot of grocery stores (Especially hippy-ish stores) carry these now, and certain cities have dedicated dispensaries that carry non-psychoactive hemp products.
I do add that you might want to consider your own judgment here. Some people benefit from having these on hand, some don’t. If you have no experience with cannabis, these are essentially the parts of weed that – on their own – don’t get you high. But the long-term effects haven’t really been studied, regulations can be iffy, and they can definitely interfere with other medications. I’m really only including this for people to be able to have an awareness of what they’re evidenced to do.
You can buy them on your own – but keep in mind that you can also buy vitamins on your own, and you might not actually need those either. I highly suggest talking to your doctor before adding more stuff like that into your body.
Below are the basics of the main cannabanoids I’ve come across.
CBD: Mainly helps with stress and anxiety.
CBG: More focused on pain and inflammation.
CBN: Sleep aid and sedative.
All three of these have been found in some to help with nausea and inflammation.
Other Sickness Remedies
I think a lot of home remedies for sickness are pretty useful, even if it's just for the comfort they can provide. Plus, a lot of cures that don’t seem medically accurate do have traits of medicinal things. That bowl of hot soup can relieve inflammation and clear sinuses. Ginger ale can help with nausea – but you’ll want to make sure you pick one with actual ginger in it. If you’re nauseous, a carbonated drink with low or no sugar content can be very helpful.
You may have seen or heard of Theraflu. Is it useful? Sort of! Look at the ingredients and you’ll see a lot of the medicines I’ve listed above. It has to be made hot – at least while the powder dissolves – and some find it can aid in sore throats, coughs, fevers and body aches. It might have side effects though.
Emergen-C and Airborne are also hotly contested remedies. I’ll straight up say Airbone has gotten into legal troubles for their effectiveness claims. Emergen-C is debatably more useful, because it can help a lot of people to raise their Vitamin C and Zinc levels – but a blood test will tell you if that’s actually something you need. You don’t want too much Vitamin C in your system, especially if you take stimulants. And if you need more, it’ll likely be cheaper coming from a vitamin.
Vapor Rub has been used in a variety of ways. Some grew up having the goo rubbed under their nose as a decongestant – which technically works, but mainly thorough tricking the brain. A solution is a solution, though. And I remember it mainly being used on me before I went to sleep, so I stand by it being useful in that case if feeling stuffed up will keep you awake. It is mainly used to provide temporary relief for muscle and joint pain, similar to Tiger’s Balm.
Homemade Humidifiers
A humidifier can help a lot for congestion. If you don't have a specific humidifier, there are two DIY options that I've tried myself to moderate success. Boiling a large pot of water can help for a smaller space. If you have an electric kettle, I've kept mine cycling with the lid open to fill an enclosed room. The best I've found is also the weirdest. You fully dampen a towel and hang it over a chair, with one end dipped in a container of water. Then you leave a fan pointed at it. It sounds and looks crazy, but it works. 
Stock for What You Need
There are things at any pharmacy that you will likely never need. Over enough time you’ll collects bits of medicine for an issue you had once and never again. If you don’t wind up with a lingering cough every time you get a cold, you probably don’t need to stock up on cough medicine. If you aren’t in a constant battle with your toilet, you might not need to always have stool softeners or Pesto-Bismal on hand. The goal is to determine the type of pain you’re most likely to experience, and try and make sure you have something to take care of that oopsie when it happens.
If you require soup or chocolate when you're sick, see if you can keep some on hand. They're fairly shelf-stable. Sometimes I need a Little Treat when I'm upset. This is not a silly thing. This is what we do to stay alive.
Everything above are just things I’ve had to work out in my own personal experience. I’ve absolutely missed some things – both from being relatively able-bodied, and for my specific issues being niche enough that I don’t find them relevant for what’s supposed to be a fairly general overview. Hopefully with this you’ll be able to be a little more confident for the next time circumstances nerf you into a revere of pain.
So rest up as much as you can. Rest and water are pretty great across the board. Any of the Muppets movies aren't TECHNICALLY medicine, but they don't hurt either.
Do you have any additions to this guide? Add them below! I'd love to hear them!
Any requests you'd like to know for How to Human? Let me know! It's always good to learn, and no subject is too obvious!

Unlock the Power of Herbal Remedies: Nature’s Answer to Better Health and Wellness
In a world filled with synthetic medications and quick fixes, it’s easy to forget the healing power of nature. Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years to improve health, relieve stress, and promote overall well-being. From boosting immunity to calming anxiety, herbs can offer safe, effective, and natural solutions for a variety of health concerns. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the most popular herbal remedies, their active substances, and how they can help you live a healthier, more vibrant life.
What Are Herbal Remedies?
Herbal remedies are treatments derived from plants and plant-based substances that have medicinal properties. These remedies have been used by traditional healers and modern herbalists alike for their therapeutic effects. Whether consumed as teas, capsules, tinctures, or in their raw form, herbal remedies offer natural support for your body and mind.
Key Active Substances in Popular Herbal Remedies
Echinacea – The Immunity Booster
Echinacea is one of the most well-known herbs for boosting the immune system. It contains active compounds such as echinacosides, flavonoids, and polysaccharides, which are believed to enhance the body’s natural defense mechanisms. Echinacea is widely used to prevent and treat colds, flu, and respiratory infections, as it helps stimulate white blood cell production and acts as an anti-inflammatory.
Dosage/Recommendation: For general immunity support, 300-500 mg of echinacea extract 1-3 times per day is recommended. During cold or flu season, higher doses of up to 1,000 mg daily can be taken for short periods, especially at the onset of illness.
Ashwagandha – The Stress Reducer
Ashwagandha, often referred to as "Indian ginseng," is a powerful adaptogenic herb that helps the body cope with stress. The active compounds in ashwagandha, including withanolides, help balance cortisol levels and reduce stress-induced inflammation. This herb also promotes mental clarity, improves energy levels, and supports adrenal health.
Dosage/Recommendation: A typical dosage of ashwagandha extract is between 300-500 mg per day. For stress management, it's best to take it in the morning or evening, as it can also help improve sleep quality.
Turmeric – The Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse
Turmeric is a well-known herb that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. The active compound in turmeric, curcumin, helps reduce inflammation in the body and is highly beneficial for joint health, digestive function, and even skin health. It has been shown to support the liver, reduce oxidative stress, and improve overall well-being.
Dosage/Recommendation: A typical dose of turmeric extract is 500-1,000 mg per day, usually standardized to contain at least 95% curcumin. For enhanced absorption, it’s often recommended to take turmeric with black pepper extract (piperine), which increases bioavailability.
Ginger – The Digestive Aid
Ginger has long been used to support digestion and soothe digestive discomfort. The active compounds in ginger, such as gingerol and shogaol, help reduce nausea, stimulate digestive enzymes, and support healthy gut function. Ginger is also an anti-inflammatory herb and has been shown to alleviate muscle pain and reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis.
Dosage/Recommendation: For digestive support, 1-2 grams of fresh ginger or ginger extract is recommended daily. To relieve nausea or digestive discomfort, 500 mg of ginger extract 1-2 times per day can help.
Lavender – The Relaxation Herb
Lavender is one of the most popular herbs for relaxation and stress relief. The active compounds in lavender, such as linalool and linalyl acetate, are known for their calming effects on the nervous system. Lavender can help reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and promote a sense of well-being. It is often used in aromatherapy, but can also be consumed as a tea or in supplement form.
Dosage/Recommendation: For anxiety or sleep issues, 80-160 mg of lavender oil extract per day is effective. Lavender tea (1-2 teaspoons of dried lavender flowers per cup of hot water) can also be enjoyed before bedtime to promote relaxation.
Peppermint – The Digestive and Pain Relief Herb
Peppermint is widely used for its digestive and soothing properties. The active ingredient in peppermint, menthol, has a calming effect on the gastrointestinal tract and can relieve indigestion, bloating, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Peppermint is also known for its ability to ease headaches, muscle pain, and tension.
Dosage/Recommendation: Peppermint tea (1-2 teaspoons of dried leaves per cup of hot water) can be consumed 2-3 times per day for digestive support. For headache relief, peppermint oil can be applied topically to the temples or inhaled for fast relief.
Why Should You Buy Herbal Remedies?
Herbal remedies are a natural and effective alternative to synthetic medications, which often come with unwanted side effects. These remedies offer gentle support for various health conditions, allowing you to maintain balance and wellness without harsh chemicals. Furthermore, many herbs have additional benefits, such as improving sleep, reducing stress, and supporting long-term health.
With herbal remedies, you can take control of your health naturally. Whether you’re seeking better immunity, improved digestion, or a calmer mind, there’s an herb out there to help.
Conclusion
Herbal remedies offer an incredible range of benefits for your body and mind. From boosting immunity with echinacea to reducing stress with ashwagandha and improving digestion with ginger, these herbs are packed with active compounds that support your health in natural and effective ways.

Why Bee Products Are the Ultimate Natural Remedy
Bee products have long been revered for their incredible healing properties. From honey to propolis, bees provide us with a variety of natural substances that have been used for centuries to treat ailments, improve health, and enhance overall well-being. But what makes these bee-derived products so effective? The answer lies in their unique combination of nutrients, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds. Let’s take a deeper look at why bee products are considered the ultimate natural remedy.
1. Honey: A Sweet Solution for Soothing and Healing
Honey is one of the most well-known bee products, and for good reason. Rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants, honey has a wide range of health benefits. It has been used for centuries to soothe sore throats, ease coughs, and promote digestion. Honey’s natural antibacterial and antifungal properties make it effective in wound healing and treating burns. Research also suggests that raw honey can support immune function by promoting the production of certain immune cells.
In addition to these benefits, honey is a natural energy booster, making it an excellent choice for athletes or those needing a quick pick-me-up. It’s also packed with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress, supporting overall health and longevity.
2. Propolis: Nature's Antibiotic
Propolis is a resin-like substance that bees collect from tree buds and sap flows. It has been used throughout history as a natural remedy for a variety of health conditions due to its potent antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Propolis is known for its ability to support the immune system, protect against infections, and reduce inflammation.
Studies have shown that propolis can help treat everything from colds and flu to oral infections, digestive issues, and even acne. It is often used in tinctures, capsules, and topical ointments, and its natural healing properties make it a staple in herbal medicine.
3. Bee Pollen: A Nutrient-Dense Superfood
Bee pollen is another extraordinary bee product packed with nutrients. Considered a superfood, bee pollen contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, and antioxidants. It is particularly rich in B vitamins, making it an excellent supplement for boosting energy levels and supporting metabolic function.
Research indicates that bee pollen may help improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and support liver health. It is also known for its ability to alleviate symptoms of seasonal allergies, acting as a natural antihistamine. Bee pollen’s high antioxidant content helps protect the body from free radicals and oxidative damage, contributing to overall health and vitality.
4. Royal Jelly: The Secret to Longevity
Royal jelly is a highly nutritious substance that bees feed to their queen bee. This milky secretion is packed with proteins, lipids, and vitamins that are thought to contribute to the queen bee’s remarkable lifespan, as she lives much longer than worker bees. For humans, royal jelly is known for its rejuvenating properties and its ability to boost energy, improve skin health, and support the immune system.
Studies have suggested that royal jelly can enhance cognitive function, balance hormone levels, and even support cardiovascular health. Its potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds make it a popular supplement for people seeking to reduce the signs of aging and promote overall wellness.

It is often used in apitherapy, a form of alternative medicine that utilizes bee products for healing.
Bee venom has been shown to help alleviate pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and multiple sclerosis. Some studies even suggest that bee venom therapy can improve the body’s immune response and reduce symptoms of autoimmune diseases.

Licorice: An Ancient Remedy with Modern Benefits
Licorice, or Glycyrrhiza glabra, is one of the most revered medicinal herbs in the world, known for its sweet flavor and a host of therapeutic benefits. For centuries, licorice has been used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and ancient Greek medicine. This incredible plant offers more than just its distinctive flavor, often associated with candies and confections. Today, licorice is recognized for its powerful health benefits, making it a valuable component in modern herbal medicine. This article explores the many benefits of licorice, its uses, potential side effects, and the best ways to incorporate it into your lifestyle.
Tumblr media
Licorice is a leguminous plant native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The root of the plant contains a compound called glycyrrhizin, which is responsible for its characteristic sweetness—said to be up to 50 times sweeter than sugar. The herb has been used in various forms, such as teas, extracts, powders, and capsules, to address a range of health issues.
Licorice has a long history of use in treating respiratory problems, digestive issues, and inflammatory conditions. While many are familiar with its flavor in candies, it's important to note that medicinal-grade licorice often differs from the licorice found in commercial sweets.
Health Benefits of Licorice
1. Supports Respiratory Health
Licorice has been used for centuries to help clear the respiratory tract. It has expectorant properties that can help loosen mucus and make it easier to expel from the body. For this reason, licorice root is often used in remedies for coughs, colds, and bronchitis. The anti-inflammatory effects of licorice also help to soothe the respiratory passages, providing relief from sore throats and other respiratory irritations.
How to Use: Drinking licorice tea or taking licorice supplements may help soothe symptoms of respiratory conditions. Herbal syrups that contain licorice are also a popular remedy for coughs.
2. Digestive Aid
Licorice has a longstanding reputation as a digestive aid. Its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties can help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, acid reflux, and heartburn. Licorice is particularly effective in treating ulcers caused by excess stomach acid. The glycyrrhizin in licorice root has been shown to reduce the growth of harmful bacteria that can contribute to gastric ulcers.
How to Use: Licorice supplements in the form of capsules or teas can be taken after meals to promote better digestion and relieve indigestion.
3. Anti-inflammatory and Immune Support
Licorice contains flavonoids, glycyrrhizin, and other compounds with strong anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds help reduce inflammation in the body, making licorice useful in treating conditions like arthritis and autoimmune disorders. Moreover, licorice supports the immune system by enhancing the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens.
Studies have also shown that glycyrrhizin has antiviral properties, making licorice a potential aid in managing viral infections such as the common cold, flu, and even herpes simplex virus.
How to Use: Licorice extracts and teas can be incorporated into your diet to boost immunity and manage inflammatory conditions.
4. Promotes Skin Health
Licorice has become a popular ingredient in skincare due to its anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties. Licorice extracts can help lighten hyperpigmentation, reduce redness, and treat skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Its natural compounds soothe irritation and help the skin recover from inflammation.
How to Use: Look for skincare products that contain licorice extract or create your own natural skin mask by mixing licorice powder with water or honey.
5. Hormonal Balance and Menstrual Health
Licorice is known for its phytoestrogenic properties, which means it contains plant-based compounds that mimic estrogen. This makes it a potential remedy for managing symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats. Additionally, licorice can help regulate the menstrual cycle and alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) due to its anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing properties.
How to Use: Herbalists often recommend taking licorice tea or supplements to help balance hormones and manage menstrual discomfort. However, prolonged use should be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Types of Licorice Supplements
Licorice is available in various forms, each offering different benefits depending on the condition you're addressing. The most common forms of licorice supplements include:
Licorice Tea: One of the simplest ways to consume licorice. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and is particularly beneficial for soothing the digestive system and respiratory tract.
Licorice Root Extract: Available in liquid form, this is a concentrated form of licorice and is often added to teas or taken in drop form. This extract can be highly potent and is commonly used for immune support and hormonal balance.
Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL): DGL is a form of licorice that has had the glycyrrhizin removed, making it safer for long-term use, especially for individuals concerned about high blood pressure or fluid retention. DGL is primarily used to treat digestive disorders like acid reflux and stomach ulcers.
Licorice Capsules: These are ideal for those looking for a convenient, pre-dosed form of licorice. Capsules are available in both regular and DGL forms.
BOTTOM LINE

Licorice has proven to be a valuable medicinal herb that offers a wide range of health benefits, from soothing respiratory issues to promoting digestive health and balancing hormones. When used responsibly, it can be a powerful addition to your natural health regimen.

Understanding the Growing Demand for Nausea Medicines
Tumblr media
Nausea is a sensation that can have many underlying causes. Some common causes that lead to nausea include viral infections, pregnancy, motion sickness, chemotherapy, and gastrointestinal issues. Viral infections like the flu or a stomach bug can cause nausea as a symptom. Morning sickness or nausea during pregnancy is also very common in expectant mothers. Traveling by car, air, or sea can induce motion sickness in some individuals. Harsh cancer treatments like chemotherapy often cause strong nausea and vomiting as side effects. Digestive problems like acid reflux, food poisoning, or an ulcer may also produce feelings of nausea. Identifying the root cause is important for determining the best treatment approach. Available OTC Nausea Medicines There are several over-the-counter (OTC) nausea medications available for relief of temporary nausea from common causes. Antihistamine medications like Dramamine are effective for motion sickness. Common active ingredients include dimenhydrinate and meclizine. Ginger supplements in capsules or ginger ale are natural options that can help settle an upset stomach. Antacids containing calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, or magnesium hydroxide can relieve nausea from acid reflux or an upset digestive system. Wristbands applying acupressure are also used by some for motion sickness or morning sickness relief. These OTC options provide symptom relief for occasional or mild nausea when a prescription is not needed. Prescription Nausea Medicines for Severe Nausea For more intense or persistent nausea, prescription medications may be required. Antiemetic drugs that work on receptors in the brain and stomach lining to reduce triggers of vomiting and nausea are commonly prescribed. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists like ondansetron (Zofran) are highly effective for chemotherapy-induced nausea and post-surgery. Steroids like dexamethasone are another option. Medications that stimulate dopamine receptors in the brain's chemoreceptor trigger zone, such as metoclopramide (Reglan), are also frequently prescribed to reduce nausea. Injections of aprepitant (Emend), a substance P/neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist, can be used to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea for 3 days. Prescription options offer stronger relief for severe cases unresolved by OTC treatments. Emerging Therapies and Solutions Research into new nausea therapies remains ongoing due to the widespread prevalence of nausea as a symptom. Inspired by acupuncture, some options now use microchip‐simulated percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to relieve nausea. Temporary implantable nausea bands delivering pulses to the stomach nerve are another acupuncture‐inspired device under investigation. Non‐invasive vagus nerve stimulators show promise for reducing chemotherapy‐induced nausea through pulsed signals transmitted to the brain from a cuff placed around the vagus nerve in the neck. Virtual reality is also being studied as a potential distraction‐based therapy to lessen nausea during medical procedures or chemotherapy. Emerging treatments aim to provide new relief options beyond existing antiemetic medications.

What Are the Benefits of Krill Oil?
Tumblr media
Krill oil contains omega-3 essential fatty acids that help control cholesterol levels, support brain health and boost heart health. Krill oil contains astaxanthin, an antioxidant which reduces inflammation and has anti-aging benefits. Studies suggest it could potentially treat arthritis pain, premenstrual syndrome depression and other conditions; however, more research needs to be conducted in this field. Lowers Cholesterol Krill oil contains omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA which have been shown to effectively lower both cholesterol and triglycerides. A study demonstrated this by showing how taking 4 grams daily reduced triglycerides by 12.7% while increasing HDL cholesterol. Krill oil contains astaxanthin, an extremely effective antioxidant which protects the body against free radical damage and provides essential EPA and DHA for skin health, contributing to glowing complexions. Krill oil is generally safe to take, though as with any nutritional supplement it's wise to consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider prior to taking. Furthermore, those allergic to seafood, blood thinners or medication for anti-diabetes or antibiotic use should avoid it as this supplement. Lowers Inflammation Krill oil's omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA, possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties which can help lower cholesterol, improve cardiovascular health, decrease joint pain and autoimmune disorders risk and more. Natural killer cells play an essential role in combatting cancerous and precancerous cells. Choline plays an integral part of supporting immunity. EPA and DHA present in krill oil have been shown to promote heart health by helping reduce triglycerides, blood pressure and resting heart rate. Furthermore, astaxanthin plays an antioxidant role protecting cells against damage and oxidation - making krill oil even better for heart health than fish oils (18). Supports Eye Health Krill oil's omega-3 fatty acids are bound to phospholipids, making them more bio-available than fish oils containing triglycerides and thus providing for easier absorption and providing a greater dose of omega-3s within smaller capsules. Krill oil's phosphatidylcholine content can help strengthen and preserve your eye's oil film barrier, keeping them moist and comfortable. According to studies, using krill oil regularly may reduce symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome or even help to prevent them from appearing altogether. Astaxanthin found in krill oil is well known to combat oxidative stress and free radical damage to eyes, brain and body. Furthermore, astaxanthin supports immunity - something which becomes especially essential during cold and flu season when maintaining strong immunity is key to remaining healthy. Supports Joint Health Research indicates krill oil can help relieve arthritis symptoms such as pain, stiffness and numbness, while simultaneously decreasing levels of C reactive protein associated with increased inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers frequently experience excruciating joint pain. Studies show that when taking krill oil for 30 days, their symptoms improve significantly and require less anti-inflammatory drugs to manage them. Another study conducted and published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" discovered that krill oil and fish oil work together to combat inflammation at multiple levels and optimize arthritis control. Researchers discovered that those taking both types of oils experienced greater relief for knee osteoarthritis pain relief than those only taking fish oil supplements alone. Supports Mental Health Krill oil contains antioxidants to defend against free radical damage to DNA. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help prevent cancer and lower insulin resistance - contributing to diabetes and metabolic syndrome - but may also prove helpful against anxiety, osteoarthritis and PMS symptoms; although more rigorous clinical trials with larger groups would likely prove more conclusive results. An 11-month, double-blind placebo controlled krill oil supplementation trial was conducted with two cohorts. Participants in Cohort 1 started off taking 400 mg EPA and DHA while those in Cohort 2 took up to 800 mg each day EPA/DHA; blood fatty acid concentrations were measured at baseline as well as three, six and 12 months post infusion; the CES-D and Rosenberg Self Esteem scores were also compared between both groups.

Staying hydrated helps to thin mucus, soothe a sore throat, and prevent dehydration, which is especially important when you have a fever.

Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and clear broths throughout the day. Stay away from alcoholic and caffeinated drinks as they can cause dehydration.
2. Chicken Soup
Chicken soup has been a go-to remedy for generations. It may help reduce inflammation, provide hydration, and offer warmth and comfort.
How to use:
Homemade chicken soup with vegetables can be nourishing. Warm broth is beneficial for relieving congestion and sore throats.
3. Honey and Lemon
Honey has antimicrobial properties, and both honey and lemon can help soothe a sore throat and provide relief from coughing.
How to use:
Mix a tablespoon of honey with warm water and add a squeeze of lemon. Drink this concoction several times a day.

Emergency cold sore remedy
Dealing with a cold sore can be uncomfortable, but there are some emergency remedies you can try to help minimize symptoms,
1. Topical Antiviral Creams
Over-the-counter antiviral creams containing ingredients like acyclovir or docosanol can be applied directly to the cold sore.
These creams may help reduce the severity and duration of the outbreak if applied at the first sign of symptoms.
2. Ice Pack or Cold Compress
Applying a cold compress or ice pack to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and provide temporary relief from pain.
To prevent the ice pack from coming into contact with your skin, make sure to wrap it in a thin cloth.

Lysine is an amino acid that may help inhibit the replication of the virus responsible for cold sores. Applying a lip balm containing lysine to the affected area can contribute to the healing process.
4. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers
Non-prescription pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help manage pain and reduce inflammation associated with cold sores. Follow the recommended dosage guidelines.
5. Aloe Vera Gel
The natural anti-inflammatory and soothing properties of aloe vera may provide relief.
Applying a small amount of pure aloe vera gel to the cold sore can help soothe the affected area.
