NATURAL REMEDIES FOR TIRED PARENTS

So many times we get home from a tired-full work day and we start the second part of our daily activity, but at the same time we carry on the most important duty of our life: the parent duty.

Our little ones have sometimes inexplicable energy resources. It’s very pleasant to spend time with them and escape a bit from the stress of professional activities. But we can’t always fully enjoy these moments of quiet and relaxation because we are already tired and irascible or maybe because our body needs rest after functioning at full speed in the first period of the day. So we get left with the weekends, but even then we are quite tired after finishing our house chores.

Fortunately, there are some natural tea and volatile oils combinations than can help you relax and enjoy your time with the little ones. Nature comes to our help once again and we can cast away the daily stress just by combining some plants in optimal quantities and using them to make correctly made teas, or to flavor our bath water or the aromatherapy lamp.

Make a mix of 10 g of dry orange peels or orange tea, 10 grams of mint and 5 grams of a flavored fruit tea of your choice, to turn the drink into one you will enjoy. From the obtained mix put one spoonful for each cup of tea you want to make. We the water is boiling, turn off the fire and put the mix in, leave just one minute and then separate the tea from the mix, pouring it into a cup. You can drink the tea obtained this way hot, warn or iced, but it’s important to drink it over 15 minutes to obtain maximum effect.

Or, if you don’t mind drinking non-fruit teas, you can mix 10 grams of jasmine tea with a classic oriental green tea, about 20 grams of it. Do the same as in the previous recipe only that before you actually drink the tea, add in it a tea spoon of an energizing instant cereal drink. The effects are revigorating and will keep you going the whole day.

For your bath, you can mix 3 drop of strong orange volatile oil, 3 drop from a lemon aromatherapy oil and 2 drop of mint oil for one full bathtub. Don’t stay more than 15 minutes in the water and don’t bathe along with your child.

Another mix with a relaxation kick to it can be obtained from 3 drops of pine oil and 2 drops of rose oil. If you don’t wish to take a bath you can use the same quantities for your aromatherapy lamp wile taking a so called “Scottish” douche. That means alternating warm water with cold water every few seconds. The douche must always end with cold water and must not take more than 2-3 minutes.

After using any of these natural remedies for tired parents you will surely feel able to tell your kids some stories and enjoy a few moments with them, so go ahead and try them.
