Lavender
Good Morning! Thank you for all of your well wishes last night. May fever is gone this morning. I googled “fever after a long run”. It turns out that a fever after a long run can be an indicator of dehydration or over training. I’m not sure that 10 miles is considered a “long run” but I definitely could have been dehydrated. I’ll also cut back my workouts this week in an effort to avoid overtraining.
I think I could use a little more of this:
Last week after my massage my therapist suggested that I take a lavender infused Epsom salt bath. This led me to do a little research on lavender. Its impressive what this plant is capable of doing. (all of the articles I read state that more research is to be conducted.)
Its been reported to help with:
- Acne
- Alopecia
- Depression
- GI disorders
- Inflammation
- Insomnia
- Migraine Treatment
- Low Back Pain
Who knew it could do so much?
The MTA should consider adding a little aromatherapy to the subway trains because according to Medline Plus it has been shown to improve agitated behaviors. 
What’s your favorite type of aromatherapy?
Interesting!! I don’t really do much aromatherapy, but when Nick and I move into a new house/condo we will be sure to get a bathtub where we can relax, and use some lavender candles while we relax in the hot tub!
Lavender is so amazing…you can drink it, too, in a tea. Chamomile & lav tea is nice when you’re feeling under the weather, tired, stressed, etc. Hope your little flu bug is passing too!
