Hail to Yule, the longest night
of all the turning year!
Awake the resurrecting light
that banishes despair.
For now the tide will start to turn,
and night will yield to day!
And the waning year will shed its skin
and cast the dark away 🖤💛

- in the US you can buy under the brands Trioral or Normalyte. Pedialyte is the old ORS formula, which is still as effective, it’s just higher osmolarity. You can make your own ORS for POTS with 2 ingredients.

![ORAL REHYDRATION SALTS. Production of the new O.R.S. World Health Organization, unicef.
Table:
Sodium chloride grams per liter is 2.6. Percentage is 12.683%. Osmolarity is 75 millimole per liter or mmol/l.
Glucose, anhydrous is 13.5 grams per liter. Percentage is 65.854%. Osmolarity is 75 mmol/l.
Potassium chloride is 1.5 grams per liter. Percentage is 7.317%. Osmolarity for the potassium is 70 mmol/l.
Trisodium citrate dihydrate is 2.9 grams per liter. Percentage is 14.146%.
Chloride from sodium chloride and potassium chloride has an osmolarity in of 65 mmol/l.
Citrate from Trisodium citrate has an osmolarity of 10 mmol/l.
The total osmolarity of the new ORS is 245. [End of table.]
This ORS composition has passed extensive clinical evaluations and stability tests. The pharmacokinetics & therapeutic values of the substances are as follows:
Glucose facilitates the absoction of sodium (& hence water) on a 1:1 molar basis in the in small intestine. Sodium and potassium are needed to replace the body losses of these essential ions during diarrhea (and vomiting).
Citrate corrects the acidosis that occurs as a result of diarrhoca and dchydration.
Ingredients:
39.34% of sodium chloride is sodium, so 2.6 grams equals 1022 milligrams sodium.
24% of trisodium citrate is sodium, so 2.9 grams equals 696 milligrams sodium.
Total sodium is 1718 milligrams.
52.445% of potassium chloride is potassium, so 15 grams equals 787 milligrams potassium.
Glucose/Dextrose (they are chemically identical) equals 13.5 grams.
Accessible DIY Recipe:
3/4 teaspoon of table salt (1743 milligrams sodium).
2 Tablespoons glucose/dextrose powder (14 grams) or 3 Tablespoons and 1 teaspoon sugar (40 grams).
1/4 teaspoon potassium chloride powder (730 milligrams) or Morton sodium free salt substitute, Nu Salt salt substitute, or other potassium chloride salt substitute.
Note that potassium is OPTIONAL for hydration purposes.
Mix in 1 liter of water. Drink or refrigerate in 24 hours.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nfvebbiwps4nvauudni3ymmb/bafkreidm3jwn6c6bhztiyatwzhggpnvmih2tghvyikucwff423gwfn3imy@jpeg)

You can also make your own by ordering glucose/dextrose powder and table salt. It’s harder on the taste buds, but it’s just as effective. Using 3/4 tsp iodized salt and 14g or ~2 Tbsp glucose powder in 1 liter of water.

#Thanksgiving is hard for me. Like most of us I have baggage and trauma. This popped into my head as a new tradition to try. Writing things you’re thankful for on leaves. Then returning them outside so they will become fertilizer for new growth. 🧡

Luna gets snuggly when it starts to get cold 🖤 I have been blessed with under blanket lap cat 😊
She has literally never chilled under a blanket before, but between a blanket and a heating pad I guess was the way to go this time!
