Kitchen medicine

Honey, lemon, cinnamon and cloves -- kitchen medicine for colds and coughs. Image: Su Leslie 2018 Hoping for some relief from my cold. Image; Su Leslie 2018

My “mindful spending” experiment has been thrown a curve-ball (or perhaps a life-line) in the form of a cold.

I’m feeling too sick to go anywhere and am self-medicating with lots of honey and lemon drinks.

  1. I missed the “mindful spending” bit, but I’m sorry to read you’re under the weather. I hope the natural medicines help. I’ve read lots of good things about Manuka honey. We can buy it here, but it’s a bit expensive. I haven’t tried it yet.

  2. Adorn thyself with favourite jimjams, wrap up in thy loveliest blankey with things to drowse by/with/over and take thee to thy bed! Thou shalt declare thyself “on holiday!” from thy usual endeavours! ๐Ÿ˜˜

    • Itโ€™s become incredibly e pensive here too because of the worldwide demand. Idiot โ€œentrepreneursโ€ are wrecking productive land to create mono cultures of Manuka to make honey without any understanding of its place in ecosystems. Sigh.

      • It’s the same old, same old – money ruling the world. It’s as if people can’t be happy with making a small profit, they have to keep on milking the ‘cash cow’ until it is all gone. I’m becoming more and more infuriated with the rich b****ards ruling spoiling the world.
