The common advise to those who suffer a depressive order due to the lack of sunshine, is to go where there is sunshine.  Well, wouldn’t we all love to live in Hawaii or some other tropical Island?  I once tried one of those special light bulbs that was supposed to help, but I don’t know if I didn’t spend enough time under it or what.  Needless to say I didn’t find it very helpful.  I am not sure if that product is even still around or not.  Personally, I wish I was a bear and could hibernate all winter long.  If winter days give you the blues, you may want to read the post and comment at this blog:  http://www.thevoicemagazine.com/blog/uncategorized/seasonal-affective-disorder-dealing-with-sad/

When I was a little girl, I remember my parents giving me honey when I had a cold.  For some reason I had forgotten about that, until I came across this article:  http://paktribune.com/news/index.shtml?207467.  Now as a grown up I like my honey with some tea and some say you should add some fresh lemon juice as well.

 I’d be very interested to know if any one else uses honey as a remedy (especially if it’s a specific type).  My daughter swears that it needs to be local honey.  I will write a post later about the different types of honey.  If any one is interested in any specific information about honey, just leave a comment and let me know and I will see if I can find the information for you.  I guess most of you know honey can be processed and refined just like oils, etc.  This is part of the reason why some honey has a different color than others (some darker).

Any way, drop a comment and let me know what you would like to learn about.
