When Life Knocks You Sideways - 5 step bounce back plan

Last Monday, I had a little bump in the car. Nothing serious — but enough to make my heart do the conga and my hands shake. And the man that put his hands up and accepted he was fully liable (as well as on the recording to my insurance company, THREE TIMES) changed his mind and decided to blame me because there were no witnesses to the accident - nice guy.

And in true “body keeps the score” style, two days later I was in full cold mode. Wellness practitioners don’t escape this stuff — we just have a really good kit to reach for when it happens.

Here’s what I’ve been doing to get back to feeling like myself again:

1️⃣ Homeopathy First

After the accident, I reached straight for Aconite & Arnica — a classic for sudden fright or shock and any bruising. A dose or two over the first couple of days helped me settle. Later, I switched to remedies for the cold symptoms — because yes, your body will sometimes wave a big “time to rest” flag after stress.

2️⃣ Diffuse & Breathe

Right now my diffuser is running on Melrose + Jade Lemon — fresh, clean, uplifting. It’s like opening all the windows in your head and shoving a rainbow in there.

💡 For a starter kit option try Purification + Lemon / R.C + Orange.

3️⃣ Boost the Basics

Cold or no cold, my immune support includes Super C Tablets, Longevity Capsules & NingXia Red. They’re easy to take, packed with good stuff from natural sources, and I swear they help me get through a sniffle season faster.

4️⃣ Comfort Your Body

My hands get dry fast when I’m under the weather (and from all the extra handwashing). I snagged the Lavender Hand Cream released this month  — smells beautiful, soothes skin, and doubles as a moment of calm in my day. But you can hack any hand cream, see my recent email for that.

5️⃣ Top Throat Tip

Mix 3 tbsp Manuka honey with 1 drop Lemon+ plus oil & 1 drop Thieves+ plus oil. Stir well, keep in a sealed jar, and take 1 tsp when your throat feels scratchy. 🍋🌿
