Healing Crohn's Disease Week 2 - Apple Cider Vinegar

 


Wow, week 2 was a little rougher than I had anticipated but it's funny how things work out sometimes. Adding the apple cider vinegar drink has been sooooo helpful with my PMS symptoms! Yay! If only it could have helped me with maintaining my coordination and strength for lifting...hmmm, wishful thinking?

I altered the recipe to suite my taste through the week and I've found the perfect combination of ingredients for me:

Apple Cider Vinegar Drink

  • 1 Tbsp ACV
  • 1 small lemon squeezed
  • 2 pieces cinnamon
  • Raw honey to taste
  • Fill the rest of your mug with hot water
The two main differences that I noticed this week with adding the above drink have been that I've had a lot less bloating and pain in my abdomen after dinner, through the night, and in the morning. As a bonus, it helped to dramatically reduce my water retention when I replaced my multiple cups of coffee in the morning with the apple cider vinegar drink. To be honest, I liked how this combination made me feel in the morning better than having coffee so I'm continuing this going forward.

For the following weeks, as mentioned in the video, I'm adding a 15 minute Shamanic Journey for healing to my day. If you'd like to explore Shamanism before I post my fave links next week along with my experiences of adding a daily practice, please check out this book series by Paul Francis.

Healing is an art. It takes time. It takes practice.
It takes love.
