August is a busy month. We are in the full swing of summer and all that it entails – visiting with friends & family, various sports, BBQs, vacations and weekend getaways.

This year I am feeling more of an urgency to ‘get the most out of summer’. I think that the cooler cold (yes cold – I was actually wearing long johns & a toque last week!) weather we have been having has made me acutely aware that summer is coming to an end. As a result, I am struggling to have my time in the city look more like the ‘lazy days of August’ and less like a frantic blur of work, mountains of laundry, packing/unpacking, chores and errands. I am trying to slow down, take a deep breath and actually enjoy my days at a leisurely pace.

To that end the goal of last night’s dinner was to not have to take a trip to the grocery store….here is what I had on hand: green tomatoes from the suckers that formed on my neglected tomato plants; clippings from my neglected garden herbs (notice a theme?); ham; white wine; garlic; some misc. garden greens – spinach, lambs quarter, dandelion, mustard greens, kale, etc.; some bits of hard cheese – parmesan, romano, etc.; and potatoes.

The result was a super simple delicious green tomato sauce that I tossed with the greens & potatoes. I will be making this sauce again and again. 

August is a month of trips and travel. For most of us that is a great thing, but for those of us that experience motion sickness trips and travel are something to be endured. Homeopathy will help you and your loved ones arrive at your destination with a smile on your face...If only I had known about homeopathy years ago I could have saved a childhood friend from what turned out to be a ghastly weekend sailing with my family! Sorry Susan.

There are lots and lots of homeopathic medicines that can be used to treat motion sickness - there will be one that is particularly suited to your brand of travel induced nausea, headache, anxiety, etc.. I have indicated some of the most common ones below,  if don't find one that works for you from the list below don't despair - just contact me and we will find the one that works for you. In no time you will be able to breeze out of a car/boat/plane like a seasoned international jet setter - looking and feeling fabulous!
