Yucky...

I've been seeing a Chinese Herbalist to clean out my system and basically try to get healthy and in shape. This week we went the route of natural herbs to cook into a broth/tea for me to drink. I was really excited to do this. I figured it would be a great cleansing option.

Well, it was a really neat trip to the 'pharmacy' to get my herbs mixed up. It had that cool Chinese herby smell to it and the ladies behind the counter had several orders on the go and I really enjoyed watching them put the orders together. I was lucky enough to watch when they were putting mine together too.

There was a total of 11 herbs that went into this concoction. Some things looked like black poo and lots of things that looked like slices of wood. Some white chunks and some white slices in there too with a dash of seeds of some sort and a variety of other goodies.

This is a picture of the final product after I cooked it.

And for the record, IT'S DISGUSTING! I have to slam it down one tall glass at a time to avoid tasting it.

I'm a trooper and I'm gonna stick with it. Wish me luck.

Oh PS. What you see in the pot is only 1/2 of the daily bag. It was too strong yesterday so I'm halving my dose. Hee hee. It's still sick.
