Menstrual Cramp Tea
Make this when you are feeling crampy, it will magically
make you feel better. Daikon helps to relax the liver, and in Chinese medicine,
the liver is the organ that governs female reproduction. So when the liver
relaxes, our female discomforts, quiet down. This drink will also help reduce
swelling of the ankles.
Serves 1
½ cup Daikon (grated into a pulp) (Oriental/Japanese Radish)
½ c Spring Water
1-2 drops Shoyu (a Soy Sauce)
Combine the ingredients in a glass, mix well, and drink.
It is important to eat lighter, fresher dishes right before
your period. Skip bread and go easy on the salt. Eat more veggies, especially
lightly cooked green ones. It is not unusual to crave sugar or chocolate before
menstruating, so let yourself have some good quality sweets. You might even want
an organic beer or sake to help you relax. If you don’t drink alcohol, try a
glass of warm apple juice or even warm carrot juice. Sounds weird but tastes
great. ~ Alicia Silverstone. The Kind Diet/The Kind Life
