Tea Detox (and a little pampering)

I'm drinking this for the next month and seeing what happens. Considering I have the most sensitive stomach of anyone I know who doesn't have an official digestive disease, and considering my crazy list of sensitivities, and considering the fact that all the traditional medicine solutions (ending with the "it's all in your head" diagnosis from that un-fabulous gastroenterologist I went to) haven't worked for me,I figured why not give it a shot... I started this morning. I'm not sure exactly what I'm expecting, but just generally a happier stomach and less feeling sick would be great.
I'll report back after enough time has passed to assess.
I decided this week that I'm going to be nice to my body for the next little while and see what happens. That means more exercise and more sleep, and better eating. Now, I'm not going to deprive myself. If I want a spoon or two of sorbet, okay. But no full-fledged, massive cheating attacks. I've been pretty good so far. We'll see how long it lasts.
Now excuse me, I'm off to get a massage.

Good luck with the tea. Let us know at least how it tastes.

Hope you enjoyed your massage (I really should increase my rates!)

The tea tastes pretty plain actually, which is quite a relief considering I was worried it would be not nice tasting at all...
The massage was lovely, but apparently my knots are deeper than what they do at this place. When I spoke with the woman at the front desk after, she suggested seeing if they do massage at a sports injury clinic or a YMCA. So basically, a much more vigorous one. So that's my new project...
