With so much running around and celebrations you’re doing for Diwali, there is a high chance you’ll suffer a burnout soon. Whether taking care of the post-Diwali clean up, or trying to get back to work mode from a relaxed festive mode, your energy levels can seriously take a dip.
If you’re feeling the blues and want a quick fix, try these home remedies that are fast and effective.
1. Potato Water
- Warm a glass of water and soak a few slices of potato in it.
- Make sure you wash the potato really well and keep the skin on.
- Once the water is cool, place it in the fridge overnight and drink the water when you wake up in the morning.
Steeping the potato in water will make it rich in potassium, which can help fight fatigue and help your body release energy.
2. Ginseng Tea
- Take 1 tbsp. of dried ginseng or slice an inch of ginseng root. Place it in a tea pot and cover with hot water.
- Let it sit covered for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
- You can add a spoon of honey or a dash of lemon to get some taste. Sip it in the morning each day.
Ginseng helps your body adapt better to stress and also improves the response of your hormone levels to stress and fatigue.
3. Ginger Cinnamon Water
- Crush a big piece of ginger and add it to 2 glasses of water. Heat it till you get the aroma.
- Now add a stick of cinnamon and let the water boil.
- Cover the lid and let it steep for about half an hour. Drink when cool.
Ginger helps to boost energy circulation in the body and also improves your metabolic rate.
4. Citrus Juice
- Squeeze the juice of half a lemon, or a full lemon if you would prefer a really strong taste, in a glass of water.
- Depending on the weather, you can use warm or chilled water.
- Drink the entire glass in one go. Repeat about 2 3 times a day.
The flavonoids and vitamin C present in lemon will reduce stress and fatigue. It also contains a phytochemical known as coumarin which releases the stress-boosting fragrance to fight fatigue.
5. Water
Yes, while this may not be a typical home remedy, drinking water through the day can be one of the easiest means of fighting fatigue naturally. Often, fatigue is also a sign that your body is dehydrated, and sipping water can immediately make you feel rejuvenated.
