Soothe Your Tummy With Reed's Ginger Candy
There are certain things I try to keep in my purse just in case - tissues, Advil, tampons, peppermint gum, an emergency $20 bill, and Reed's Ginger Candy. Not only are Reed's Ginger Candy great for calming an upset tummy, they also soothe a sore throat, and really satisfy my craving for something chewy. The recipe actually comes from Indonesia and it contains real ginger root, so this chewy treat has a bit of a bite to it.Weekend Well-Being: After A Spicy Dinner
I work all week, I take care of the kids so when the Friday night rolls around, I secure a babysitter (it's a competitive field out there). Then, I call some friends and we head to out to eat. Usually we choose some spicy, ethnic joint.

Bring a Plant to Work Day
If you find yourself sneezing excessively at work, it is not that you're allergic to your job. More than likely you're experiencing chemical sensitivities to some common office items like adhesives, carpeting, upholstery, copy machine chemicals, and cleaning agents. Ordinary things found in offices often emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), like formaldehyde, found in pressed wood, and benzene, found in glues, paints, furniture wax.

- The herbal remedy black cohosh is no better than placebo for treating hot flashes and night sweats, according to a 2006 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
- Most complementary and alternative medicines are ineffective for relieving menopausal symptoms, according to a 2006 review in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
- Short-term use of HRT remains an option for recently menopausal women who have a low risk for stroke, according to a 2007 statement from the North American Menopause Society (NAMS). However, NAMS recommends that women who are at risk for heart disease or breast cancer should consider other approaches for managing hot flashes.
- For women who want to discontinue HRT, gradually tapering off the medication or stopping it abruptly appears to make little difference in the recurrence of symptoms, suggests a 2006 study. A gradual approach may delay the reappearance of symptoms, but does not prevent them from returning.

Green Thumb: Household Plants Clean Your Air
I love gardening, but when it comes to keeping house plants my thumb isn't very green.
After learning that common houseplants can help remove toxins from the air, I am going to try my hand at growing houseplants again. While this might not seem like rocket science, NASA performed some research on plants and their ability to absorb toxins, like formaldehyde, found in pressed wood, and benzene, found in glues, paints, furniture wax, and detergents.
