Sweeten Me Up

The solution may be as simple as  eating a delicious treat.

When you feel cranky, you can soothe yourself by popping a simple peppermint candy.  The Chinese philosophy of healing categorizes irritability as a “warm” condition, and to cool down fast, traditional healers will often  prescribe peppermint, which is known as a natural  “refrigerant” herb.

In addition to lifting your mood, peppermint is effective in speeding up your body’s metabolism. In the end, you’ll not only have increased levels of energy and alertness, your senses will actually be sharpened.
