It's a good day when I don't need allergy medicine, & those days do happen, more often than the bad allergy months, thank goodness. Spring & early summer are rough for me. Usually the allergies start in April then phase out some time in mid to late July, so I can ditch the Allegra & just do a teaspoon of honey in tea which really does help the sore throat.
There's a lot to be said about "therapy" and yes there are times & occasions where it helps. I agree that just getting active & getting some fresh air & sunshine & caring for animals & plants can be extremely therapeutic. The human body, mind & soul were not meant to sit sedentary in a cubicle under fluorescent lights without fresh air. How many people do just that, daily, for years, for decades? We are part of nature, so to isolate ourselves from it just isn't natural. Eating chemicals & fake boxed foods just isn't natural. Breathing stale air in buildings with windows that never open, being stressed out, always in a rush, always worried, always striving to meet some impossible deadline or beat last week's quota, because they keep raising the bar so you inevitably are not able to, does not create peace & happiness. Lifestyle, career, our family (human, feathered, furry or scaled), the foods we eat, our daily activities & where we do them, & our attitudes, all play a huge part in our overall health, physical, mental & spiritual. Just being active & getting some vitamin D sunshine & fresh air & hugging a plump chicken, brushing your horse, playing with your dog or cat & digging in your garden & getting up off of the duff can do wonders!
