I am on a journey, as all of you are. I want to be healthy, happy and eventually pregnant.

I have decided to do a tea cleanse that is rich in minerals that stimulate the bowel, liver, kidneys and lymphatic glads to aid cleaning and hormone balancing. If any of you are interested the recipe is below:

1 part chopped dried burdock root
1 part chopped dried dandelion root
1 part chopped dried yellow dock root
1 part stinging nettle leaves
1 part plantain leaves
1 part red clover flowers
1/2 part chopped dried ginger root (or 1/4 part ground)
1/2 part chopped dried licorice root (or 1/2 part ground)
1/2 part fennel seeds

blend together ingredients. For each cup of tea combine 1 sp (5ml) of the lightly crushed herb with 1 cup of water. Cover saucepan tightly and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain tea and drink. Drink 1/2 to 1 cup 3 times a day. To store strain into a clean jar and cover refrigerated for up to 2 days.

I will also post a hormone balancing tea recipe for those of you who might be interested.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

Here with an update - the tea tastes good. If you like fennel you will like this tea. I have been drinking it for 2 days and notice that I am going to the bathroom (1 & 2) more often. I am going to drink it for a week - I'll give you another update then.
