brenda,
Epsoms salts...long, loungy baths while watching something on the computer. I use a step stool and a Mary Kay mirror to accomplish this.
Coconut oil...Pretty much everything at the moment. I made my own toothpaste, which I love. Put it in sauces. Fry with it. Use it around my eyes as a nighttime cream. (seriously reduced the crows feet, it has) Moisturize my hands.
Here is a nifty list of things to do with coconut oil.
Bone broth...I've always been a champion soup maker. It's a bit of a specialty. NOW? Off the chart flavor and nutrition. I cook up two batches from a couple of chicken carcasses and veg. Then, I take the filtered out bits, which have cooked for approximately 48 hours, such that the bones crumble when touched. I puree the mixture to make a soup thickener and put some in Cagney's food. By this stage, it is roughly free food.
eta: Todd and I had a brief conversation today about bone broth which featured the phrase 'chicken soup on steroids' as a curative. It's soooo warming and nourishing. I find a cup in the morning sets me up for the day.
In the last few days, I've made a potato and roasted garlic soup that is of the yum. Also, a cream of pumpkin soup that is equally delish...and really WAS free food as I was given the pumpkin.

Bone broth...
That's supposed to be fantastic for gut health. I haven't made it, but I'm thinking about it.

DO Steph. It's lovely for the tum. Plus, ridiculously easy in the crock pot.
Oh, and I put a couple of chicken feet...for the extra gelatin...in the pot. I've never, ever in my life purchased or even contemplated a chicken foot before. Now, I'm all about it.

I'm not following, how is bone broth different from soup?

Hmmm, now I'm all curious about bone broth.

It seems to be to broth but left on the stove for a long time. So, in my world, broth. I have turkey simmering now. And some ham bone stock that I am reducing. Christmas was good in the carcass category.

Not a fun thing, brenda. I hope it's covered and also offers relief.

Meep, brenda! Hope it is as easy as these things can be!
