Days 4 through 11 of my cycle I have to drink what I have dubbed ‘icky tea.’ Three times a day I boil water, pour it into a mug, and add three scoops of my tea. I do add lots of honey to make it… palatable. I’m on day 9 now, just 2 more to go!
Sometimes, lately, I have to stop and really think about what I’m doing. Sometimes, I’m not sure! I’m taking herbs and drinking teas and being stuck with needles and eating organic and not eating dairy and thinking a lot about doing yoga but not really doing much of it and excersizing and massaging my ovaries and breathing deeply and trying and trying and trying to not be stressed. Not be stressed? Really? Really.
This is my second month of an acupuncture cycle. This time, I took pills (Four Augmented Substances) for days 1, 2, and 3. Then I get to drink my icky tea. Days 12-16, I take more pills. After that… starting on day 17, a whole different kind of tea. More on that one when I get to it.
