DIY Back Pain Relief Cream

I did a blog post today about yoga poses for back pain, so I figured

I would keep that going with a DIY natural back pain relief cream.

I have not tried this one so I don't know how well it works. I know this

one sounds really odd but if you have pain, natural relief is

always worth trying!

What you'll need:

1T honey

1T mustard

1T salt

1T baking soda

Create:

Warm up the mustard, mix all ingredients together until they blend into

a smooth texture. The baking soda might bubble at first when it comes

into contact with the mustard but keep stirring and it will go back to normal.

Stir for about 5 minutes. The cream you made should be placed in the fridge

and lasts for 3 days.

Before applying, slightly warm the cream and then apply directly on

the sore area. Place some plastic wrap over the area. Cover with a towel

and leave for at least 3 hours. It is best to apply before bed. In the morning,

remove the towel and plastic wrap and wash the area with soap and

warm water. Repeat the treatment for 2-3 days in a row for best results.

I might give this a try! If you do please let me know what you think.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos.

Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
