HEALTH REPORT

June 2025

I just had my annual check-up with my Kaiser doctor after about six months of regular gym exercise. It surprised me that my weight loss was ten pounds.  That part of the gym program is working.

The doctor said I have a strong heart, normal blood pressure and I don´t take medications for this. He inspected my body and we talked about the gym. He suggested I wear a hernia belt when I work out. I´ve been aware that my brother, who worked out regularly in a gym, years before me, developed a hernia, and had to quit the gym, but he was pressing more than twice his weight. I am careful to start slow and build at my own pace. Our bodies speak to us.

I´m learning about gym accesories, and how to use equipment.  I am learning to squat and genuflect again.

I immediately purchased the gym hernia belt and can feel its support.

We can deal with the pain, the sore muscles, occasional cramps, and recognize the need for rest and the importance of staying hydrated.

Gym exercise can be difficult to start but the end result should be better health, and a clearer mind that can lead to a happier life.

 

HERBAL HELP

HERBAL TEA for chronic pains

People all around me, especially as they age, complain

of aches and pains, doctors get overwhelmed &

most often call it arthritis.

I spent time researching the herbal ingredients in

prescription medicines that work on

extreme nerve pain, and I created my own tea

that I drink daily, before sleep.

I´m no medical expert or herbalogist.

I´m sharing what works for me & maybe others.

 Be well.

Get a Tea-ball and these herbs to make this tea

using equal portions:

ORGANIC herbs:
Corydalis, Passion Flower,

Marshmallow Root, California Poppy

& St. John´s Wort

 

Add honey if you like.

There was one side effect from the tea.

My dreams became very vivid and intense every night,

but no nightmares. Sleep is deeper, more restful.

When I traveled across country last year, I had

no cramps, and no aches and pains, no arthritis,

 during the 2 weeks on my trip.

St. John´s Wort  is a herb

that works on the sciatic nerve.

There are many herbs that you can research and try,

that will help whatever conditions you may have,

and improve your health.

Common Colds, Flu Symptoms

If I have a cold, the only medicine I take

is a herbal tea I make with a Tea-ball:

 Echinacea herbs layered with Goldenseal powder,

and covered with more echinacea.

I boil water to make  large cup of tea.

It tastes bitter so I add honey.

I make & drink the tea again if symptoms persist.

I repeat for 3 days and by the 4th day my cold is gone.

If you have a cold, Rest and hydrate.
