Breath
Close your eyes
Feel the ground beneath you
Breath
Let tension go
Feel your muscles loosen
Breath
Clear your mind
Troubles disappear
Repeat

My orthopedic doctor used to get on me because I always cross my legs or my ankles when I sit. It really is not good for the hips!

My friend suggested taking Boswelia and it has helped a lot with joint pain. From my little bit of research it is also a supplement that doesn’t interfere with anything or have side effects.

Thank you. Have looked it up and the listed side effects are what Hubby already has so maybe not for us.

You never know, and we always check out possibilities. Garlic helps our BP and fresh ginger is good for reflux, so Hubby can take those.

I tried garlic once but even the kind that supposedly doesn’t taste like garlic was like the ginger’s enemy! I tasted it for days!

We use odourless garlic oil capsules and don’t have a problem. The tablets are lethal though!!
