Today I wanted to share a little more on kombucha.Here is a little info on the actual beneficial bacteria and yeasts that are in it.Acetic acid, which is mildly antibacterialĮthyl alcohol is drinking alcohol, but normally kombucha contains less than 0.5% alcohol, which classifies kombucha as a non-alcoholic beverage. Hi ,I hope this finds you well.We just celebrated Tinkebell's 10th birthday.I can't believe my baby is already 10.I am just so proud of my kids and how they are becoming their own people. I am not a doctor and am not accountable if something I wrote doesn't work for you. These are just my opinion and worked for me. Anytime your body goes in shock it pulls a lot out of you. Some final thoughts : over the next few days make sure to get lots of nourishing foods ,some extra protein and extra b-vitamins. It will shock your system and make you worse.ĭealing with shock and heart irregularities motherwort tincture is very fast and effective. Cold water over the wrist calms down adrenalin ,take a lukewarm bath if you can. Never take potassium pills without medical approval. Ideally bananas or orange juice would be better than pills. Salt is important and so is a potassium source. Get some sugar in your system, preferably a healthy source. I was asking my husband to call 911 but he said to try the bath first and let my supplements kick in.(he trusted me more than I did at the time) Oatstraw (calms and strengthens nervous system and nourishing)ĭuring heat exhaustion some important tips.: call a doctor if you can or go the hospital,don't take chances. Nettle ( nourishing and boosts adrenal health) Licorice root(boosts adrenals and gets some of those hormones back up)Įlderflower or catnip(both are good for reducing heat in the body) For me these were the herbs I used to cool myself and support my adrenals afterward. There are things we want to make sure we always have on hand. I say this story even though I feel kind of embarrassed I wasn't more careful because I got to thinking about what if someone couldn't get to the hospital or get IV's. The rest of the day I was wiped out and focus on drinking nourishing and cooling herbal teas and took licorice root to get my adrenals back to health. After a few minutes ,the shaking stopped and I could breathe normally. Normally I would have eaten a banana with peanut butter but we were out. My husband got me in the tub and I had him bring me a potassium pill too. It ended up taking two dropperfulls but within minutes I could feel it working. My heart rate was out of control so I put motherwort tincture under my tongue for that. I put a god pinch of the salt under my tongue and a teaspoon of honey in my mouth. He started some cool bath water and I had him bring me some honey and sea salt. I was shaking violently by now and hyperventilating. When we got home my husband got me in the house ,and took me to the sink and started running cold water over my wrists and getting me to drink. By the time a gas station was on the scene I was to weak to go in and our house was a block away so we decided it was better to just go home. I also felt extremely hungry all of a sudden and my head hurt. The whole drive home I felt like I was being smothered and and was very light headed. My husband was drinking a mountain dew but I hate the stuff and said I could wait till we got to a gas station and get some Gatorade or water. I remember that I was actually losing my sense of thirst by now. Not today, I had a one track mind, get home to the kids so we can take them to the zoo. Usually we go inside and wash up ,get a drink and cool down a little before we head home. We just went right to work and two hours later I felt kind of dizzy so I told my husband I better stop. It was already beastly hot and humid when we got to the garden and we had stopped on the way to shovel up a carload of mulch first too.
When I am in hurry mode sometimes I work non-stop instead of listening to my bo dy. Well this day we had plans to go the zoo after we got home and I wanted to hurry so we could get back. My garden is a ways away from my house so usually when we drive over I pack a thermos of cooling herbal iced tea and some kind of healthy snacks. Today I wanted to write about the subject of heat exhaustion since it is something that those of us living in the north don't always take as seriously.
