Putting my herbs to the Test

Well for the very first time in a long time i have come down with a wind-cold attack. Frankly speaking i have a cold. As i am in training for the Noosa triathlon and have been expending exuberant amounts of energy into work and training, finally something had to succumb, and that was my health. Struck down with a cold and going against my own advice. I know exactly when i caught this wind-cold attack and it was from not wearing enough layers of clothing on bike on my way back to work from training.

So this afternoon i had to leave the office. Bag packed with some King Tim Cough Syrup and a batch of powdered herbs. As i have a close friend down from Brisbane for the weekend, i thought to myself i really don't have anytime to be under the weather. I have work in the morning and commitments in the afternoon.

As a Chinese herbalist i decided to let my herbs speak for themselves or pardon the pun let the feet do the walking. My challenge to myself is too see by tomorrow morning, mid morning that my cold will be almost gone (completely) and i will be a functioning human being!

Tonight for dinner I've had my soup that i prescribe for my clients, desert was a dose of King Tim, my trusted herbal prescription and a multivitamin. A hot shower to follow and into my pyjamas, couch, DVD and blanket.
