Estonian climate should be perfect, we have four season. But, as we use to say, we have in real life 9 months of the “bad skiing weather”… so. runny nose and cough are usual and normal..
We use a lot of herbs, you can find tips from my blog. But food is also very important to restore health.
Just so you know, most of these methods are not scientifically proven so try them out at your own risk đ Iâm still alive and kind of healthy⊠maybe it was my faith that helped me? đ
When I was a teenager my constant diagnose to everything used to be ââa major respiratory diseaseâ, therefore I have quite a few tips for you whenever 
you feel like youâre starting to get sick:
Classic recommendations are usually to sleep a lot, drink lots of water and wash your hands as often as possible. But there are few more things to try.
Your goal is to boost your blood flow and digestion in order to ââsweat the sickness outââ. The safest choice is probably a sauna.
You might think that if it isnât some deadly disease itâs not worth your time to take actionâŠ- wrong! My family believes in garlic and its ââsuperpowersââ. Nb! We are talking about real strong garlic, not some mild Chinese… đ
Some people put it in their nose or pillow BUT⊠being sick gives you a wonderful excuse to enjoy some garlic bread with lots of dip sauce. Also, feel free to try a combination of cheese, garlic and mayo on a slice of black bread.

Thank you for reading and following my blog. I wish you Happy New Year !!!
November has its own beauty. It neither golden autumn nor white and clean winter. November is foggy, grey, rainy and brown…
November 2nd is All Souls’ Day and November is All Souls Months. We believe that there is a period when the souls of the dead are moving around and visiting their former homes, Now is the time to light the candle and put it on the window. Show the way to the souls and commemorate deceased loved ones.
Reading and movie suggestion:
best of all will convey the mood of November in Estonia book by Andrus KivirĂ€hk ” Rehepapp”, a bestseller of the last twenty years. Rehepapp captures the essential of the Estonian soul. The book is quite blatant parody, but like all good parody it has a grain of truth in it. Look at movie trailer.
PĂŒhajĂ€rv (“Holy lake”) is a lake in Estonia, near the town of OtepÀÀ.
There are many lakes with the name PĂŒhajĂ€rv (‘Holy Lake’) in Estonia. The one located in the OtepÀÀ Upland is the most famous of them. The picturesque coastline and five islands of Lake PĂŒhajĂ€rv make it the biggest and most beautiful lake in the OtepÀÀ region.

MĂ”isakĂŒla is a town in southern Estonia, part of Mulgi Parish of Viljandi County, just next to the border of Latvia. It is considered to be the smallest town in Estonia. The town has 32 streets, with the total length of 15,5 km.
Mulgi- Mulgimaa is area in South-Estonia, with own culture, traditions, food and dialect.
MĂ”isakĂŒla was born because of railway. Trains do not travel here today… This is just one last and least wagon…
This area and culture is perfect example about the globalisation already in 19th of century. During the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865 was lack of cotton and price was very high.
So, was demand for alternatives. South Estonia, Mulgimaa has perfect conditions for cultivation of linen. Bondage was in Estonia abolished 1816, but still farmers were very poor and land was owned by landlords. But because of America and demand for linen, farmers gets enough money to buy from landlords land and farms. And this area become rich and successful. This made others little bit jealous and they started to call people and this area Mulgimaa đ
In Latvia means word- Mulk- â sillyâ and in Estonia it means âholeâ- in meaning that the all richness went in to the one holeâŠ:)
My maternal family is from MĂ”isakĂŒla area and there lives my aunt and cousin.
Near to the MĂ”iskĂŒla is VanamĂ”isa. My grandmother and grandfather died long time ago but their house is still here.
Estonia is the Paradise of Introverts đ Estonians saying : A good neighbour is one where you can just barely see the smoke of their chimney from your window.’
In South- Estonia you can feel, how is to be the last soul in the Earth đ You can drive through the Estonian countryside and not see another living soul for miles.

Muhu is an island in the Baltic Sea. With an area of 198 km2 (76 sq mi) it is the third largest island belonging to Estonia, after Saaremaa and Hiiumaa.
The sleepy fishermen’s villages, windmills, thatched cottages and wildlife provide a perfect retreat for those looking to get lost in the nature.
My family is from South Estonia, but 15 years ago my parents moved to Saaremaa. To get to Saaremaa, one must first get to Muhu island.
Muhu is beautiful and peaceful.
Muhu is interesting in wintertime, as well : you can drive on the ice
if itâs cold enough. During particularly cold winters (like the ones we used to have) you can drive between some of Estoniaâs islands. The roads are marked with signs and speed limits.
