In reply to Kenya G. Johnson. Clove essential oil is something I've been meaning to get into. Glad you've found it to be beneficial, Kenya. I'm noticing that flossing is hard on my gums nowadays so I may well give clove oil a try.

Didn’t you write about oil pulling once upon a time? If that was you, I guess you’ve got the hang of it now. I never tried it, but now I’m intrigued. I have a waterpik and I put one drop of clove essential oil in it and it’s made my gums healthy. I used to bleed from simple flossing. I’m doing quite a few of these, so I guess i’m off to a good start. That first glass of water defintely helps that (ahem) BM move along 😉

In reply to Christine. Hey Chris! I'm cracking up at your response to the arms-length you-know-what. Some days, especially when traveling, it is a lofty dream for me too, but I'm getting better. Hugs, Ali

Alison!! It’s so so SO wonderful to come here and read your informative and OH so helpful tips for a morning routine!

An arms length? Really? Um, wow. I had no idea! Lofty dream for me with my intestinal issues. I’ll keep working on that one.

Thank you friend, this was wonderfully helpful.

The warm water with lemon is the bomb! I’m in vacation right now so I haven’t been doing it but it is truly a game changer, health-wise. Glad to hear that you’ve incorporated water into your morning routine. And I know that stretching will help with your back issues. There are a few yoga poses that are quite beneficial as well for relaxing and healing the back.

In reply to Ceil. Hey Ceil! I did have a good weekend and am having an even better week back home in St. Kitts! The apple cider vinegar is great for many ailments and its healing properties are numerous. Isn't citrus water great?!

I try to drink a few glasses of water first thing in the morning, but I’ll have to try the warm water with lemon. I cannot stomach vinegar of any kind, so I’m going to pass on that one! I’m aiming to add stretching to my first thing in the morning routine – it will make a difference with my back issues.

Great suggestions, Allison – thank you!

HI Alison! I have been reading about apple cider vinegar, it seems to be a healthy addition to a diet.
And I do like to have just a little citrus in my water too. It seems like such a fun indulgence!
Hope you had a great weekend,
Ceil
