Seems like there was a lot of support for this, so here 'tis, a thread on alternative medicine. I know that there is a lot of talk about this stuff in bits and pieces on other threads, but it seems like such a popular topic these days that it really deserved its own. Anything about herbs, naturopathy, accupuncture, nutrition, etc., bring it on!

I'll start: has anyone ever used slippery elm root for digestive problems? I bought some, but I'm scared to try it, and don't know anyone who has! It's supposed to help heal irritated digestive systems...

i feel a lot better today--no headache, not hungry. the maple syrup is still making me queasy--so sweet!! and i don't generally have much of a sweet tooth even when i'm eating crap. i'm drinking some mint tea right now to switch it up a bit and feel a little better about the thought of the syrup. i'm just adding less to the concoction.

i think the headache was part caffeine withdrawal (and i KNOW that i get headaches when i go too long without coffeeeee...yuck), and partially cos i didn't get much exercise yesterday. i'm getting over a cold and felt kind of fevery so i slept most of yesterday, but today i feel a lot better.
