Lemon Balm: helps with insomnia, nerve pain
Chamomile: helps with insomnia, anxiety, upset stomach diarrhea
Cinnamon: helps with cold symptoms

Scar Prevention
Massage a new scar for five minutes twice a day. Applying pressure forces the body to make scar tissue that is flatter and lighter in color. Start massaging 2-3 weeks after the injury and continue for up to a year.
Gel Pack
I often need frozen gel packs when I have a headache, and I didn't realize you could make your own. Freeze one part rubbing alcohol with three parts water in a Ziploc. I like the soft gel packs better than the ones that freeze solid.

Perfect Food Pairings
1. Tomatoes and Avocados
(How convenient that I love and often prepare a tomato, avocado, mozzarella, and olive oil salad!) Tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene and the fat in the avocado helps the body absorb seven times more lycopene. Research suggests that lycopene is associated with reduced risk of macular degenerative disease, serum lipid oxidation and cancers of the lung, bladder, cervix and skin.
2. Spinach and Oranges
Spinach is a great source of iron, but our body doesn't absorb it well when we eat it alone. Add an orange to your spinach salad and the vitamin C converts the iron into a form that is more available to the body.

Mouth Wash
I don't really like mouthwash, but I know I should be using it. The different types also confuse me. But I read recently that if you want all around protection you should use a fluoride (ACT, Colgate) rinse at night and an antibacterial (Listerine antiseptic, Cepacol) rinse in the morning.
