Vegan Nasal Drip Routine

1 cup hot Traditional Medicinals Immune Zoom Lemon Ginger Tea (steeped for 15 min and tea bag removed then I added brown sugar cinnamon skinny syrup)

1 tablet Andrographis (from my brother, he uses Mediherb)

10 ml Boiron chestal adult cold and cough syrup 

Xclear nasal spray with xylitol (1 pump each nose before bed then rinse nozzle)


Note: Before I had this routine, I was sick for about a month in 2024, from February to March, from a cold sore to nasal drip, congestion (I bought guaifenesin tablets to avoid dextromethorphan), fluid in my ears, etc. Irritated throat from nasal drip symptoms came back in April but healed from this routine in 2 days instead of a month since I already had the routine ready. Instead of gargling salty water, I ate spicy cup ramen with nutritional yeast and almond milk.

Current prices: Tea $4.67

Cough syrup $14.58

Nasal spray $9.49

Spicy cup ramen $0.44

Guaifenesin (if needed) $9.49

Total: $38.67 + tax, not including Andrographis as my brother buys it

S28.74 + tax if you don't need the guaifenesin or count the ramen; 16 tea bags, 20 doses of cough syrup, and approx 240 sprays so they should last for quite a few uses

1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
8-16 oz Beyond meat

Add the Beyond meat and cook, stirring regularly. 

Pour in the tomato sauce, banana ketchup, tomato paste, water, bouillon, and sugar. Stir well, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Vegan Sugar Free Vanilla Shake for Green Powder

1 cup soy milk (I used Silk Original. Use unsweetened for completely sugar-free and more monk fruit)
1 scoop Green Vibrance powder
1 cup ice (I used 10 small square cubes)
3 tsp monk fruit powder (I used In the Raw)
2 tsp sugar-free vanilla syrup (I used Torani, but you can sub Lakanto)

Blend soy milk, green powder, and ice until smooth, and the powder is no longer sticking to the sides. 
Blend in monk fruit and syrup

I was diagnosed with super-low Vitamin D levels about 2.5 years ago and have had stomach issues such as painful bloating, IBS symptoms, acid reflux, and pain in my lower back, hands, and knees. Green Vibrance powder relieved many of these symptoms after about 5 days of taking it. Tomorrow will mark 1 month of taking it. I missed maybe 3-4 days, but even so, it has helped me be comfortable enough to study and do house chores without pain. I lift up to 50 lbs at my job once a week, and I am still in pain after, but I can recover within a day, whereas before, it sometimes took me several days to recover. I have trouble swallowing vitamin tablets or pills but have done protein powder shakes in the past, so a green powder instead is a better solution for me that I know I can commit to and also adds to my liquid intake. I'm thankful to have seen the powder in the freezer in The Vegan Gym's fridge tour. I have been looking for a vitamin powder that contains Vitamin D for a while, and I figured a vegan would be using one that has it, and I was happy that I was right :) I can burp now instead of having trapped gas and being painfully bloated, so I'm really thankful for that. The claim that it helps with digestion has been really true for me, and I believe for nutrition as well as I'm pretty sure that is what is helping my back to not be in pain though circulation is probably helping too to get blood flow to the areas that I was having pain in before.
