How to deal with stress with Macrobiotic food, Aromatherapy, and Bach Flower Remedy

We had very stressful time in November. 2015 starting pee-thanksgiving.
These are few things happened:

1.     Car broke down on the way back from North Fork on the highway with our six dogs (golden retrievers) and two cats (one cat has issue of car sickness) – the car took two weeks to get fixed. One week later, as of today, it broke down again.

2.

After car broken down Healthy Happy Pooch came back with a small rental car!


  The hood at our restaurant, Seed Kitchen, broke and was replaced by a professional person and we paid $800 – it broke a few days later and found out that the motor was the wrong motor. Contacted them many times the guy who put the wrong motor, but he never called back. In the mean time we found new people set new motor, but they said they can only come on Thanksgiving day so we had to work and after they set the new motor it was still making a loud noise so Eric went to the roof to check and found out that it replaced in wrong direction. We are so astonished by all these business people who charge us a lot of money to fix, but their work is careless and not responsible.

3.     Our plumbing backed up the day after Thanksgiving day – we thought it was a minor clog, but found out it was major work and the plumber was going to charge so much money so Eric dug up the old pipe for 5 hours and changed to new pipe. Eric mentioned to the plumber it better to clean out before put new pipe, but the plumber said it should be ok since we change to new pipe, but next day it backed up again and Eric went down the house and dug an additional 4 hours and found out there were roots from the tree that were causing the blockage.

Eric was very exhausted physically digging under the house for so long and his body was in so much pain. We were disappointed that we could not do anything fun and also frustrated with all these business people, but we did our best and made a great thanksgiving dinner for us.

Also made healing Auzki beans (helps the kidneys which will improve courage) dish with Sweet Brown Rice, Kabocha and Almond for Eric.



Prepared an ache and pain hot bath with Orange essential oil which helps to reduce pain and uplift and support immune for Eric and gave therapeutic massage with organic Lavender, Annica, St. John's and Calendula oil,  which is excellent muscle to heal strains, general aches and after strenuous movement. 


 
We also took Bach Flower Rescue Remedy 4 drops for general stress, Gentian 2 drops for disappointment. Willow 2 drops for frustration, Impatient 2 drops to be more patient for four times a day in my lavender kukicha Tea.

What else did we do?…meditation, yoga and watched good movies!

We can deal any stress without junk-food, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, drugs and sugar and feel good that this too shall pass!!!
