The election will be over in a few weeks. Everyone seems to be on edge, and many things get put "on hold" until we know who is going to be our next President. Election season can be a whirlwind of emotions and stress. Prioritizing self-care is critical to maintain your emotional well-being during the next few weeks.

When I was diagnosed with Hashimotos, my holistic osteopath gave me quite a few "alternative" suggestions on how to help my condition by lowering my stress and joint pain. One of her suggestions was to take a baking soda bath twice a week, with a 1/2 to 1 cup of baking soda, for 20-30 minutes. I had not heard of anything like this before, so why not try it? It was an easy ask, compared to monthly IV treatments and handfuls of supplements.
