Drifting ever more towards the crunchy side of things, I decided to buy one of the herbal tea formulas sold by my alternative fertility therapy place. Since I'm trying to get my cycle to come, I chose the appropriately named formula, Cleanse.
Suggested use: Use before or between cycles, or after a failed cycle.
What it's got:
Chamomile: Calms nervousness. Good digestive aid. Anti-inflammatory.
Milk Thistle Seeds: Liver and gall bladder support. Aids in the elimination of toxins.
Dandelion Root: Gentle diuretic. Liver, gall bladder and blood purifier.
Peppermint: Aids digestion. Anti-spasmodic. Expectorant and decongestant.
Organic Red Clover: Blood and liver purifier. Improves circulation.
Chrysanthemum: Clears and calms liver.
Lemon peel: flavoring.
I've had this tea before after acupuncture sessions, and I like it. To me, the chamomile flavor is pretty strong, but the peppermint gives it a nice bite.
I figure I'm theeees close to growing dreads, donning a hemp-fiber dress, Birkenstocks and naming myself "Moonglow."
