Well Christmas has passed.
However, that doesn't mean that the festivities have stopped - in fact, I suspect that most people regard the days between 24 December and 3 January as 'designated days of festivity.'
These days are filled with the excitement of sharing with family and friends and more often than not include a round of parties complete with libation, victuals and jocularity.
In case you over-indulged in one, or all of the following; food, caffeine, alcohol, sugar, or chocolate - be prepared for a come down or slight withdrawals - including; headache, indigestion, lassitude, lower back pain, general malaise or depression .
So - if you're feeling a little jaded, as we are, here are a few tips to get you ready for the New Year.
- Stay at home for a couple of days and be still.
- Turn off the cell phone.
- Stay away from the computer.
- Read
- Listen to fine music.

Natural Remedies
Use hydrotherapy for headaches, especially if you are coming off caffeine, or alcohol. Depression or malaise will also be lessened using water therapy.
- Fill up a tub with cold water.
- Stand in the water up to your knees if possible and mark time.
- This draws the circulation away from the head and toward the lower extremities easing head pain both mentally and physically.
- Resting in a dark quiet place - practicing rhythmic and diaphragmatic breathing will bring you back to a pain free state.
- Sore muscles, backs, necks and other strained parts of the body love to be soothed in a hot bath followed by a cool tepid shower and then into bed.
- Work toward the 'No Breakfast Plan' - two meals per day will allow your body to metabolize waste matter more efficiently. Read more about the no breakfast plan at: http://www.thehealtheducator.com.au
