Acupuncture Visit #2

Well, I had my second acupuncture visit today. She gave me more herbs for tea:
  • Chinese Angelica (Radix Angelicae Sinesis--Danggui)
  • Chinese #0503011
  • Chinese # 0507011
  • Chinese # 0510081
  • Glossy Privet Fruit (Fructus Ligustri Lucidi--Nuzhenzi)
  • Indian Bread (Poria--Fuling)
  • Motherwort Herb (Herba Leonuri--Yimucao)
  • Prepared Rehmannia Root (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata--Shudihuang)
  • Twotoothed Achyranthes Root (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae--Niuxi)
  • White Peony Rood (Radix Paeniae Alba--Baishao)

I am to take these for the next 6 days then I take the following for 7 more days until I return to her on July 12th:

  • Chinese Angelica (Radix Angelicae Sinesis--Danggui)
  • Chinese #0503011
  • Dodder Seed (Semen Cuscutae--Tusizi)
  • Fleeceflower Root (Radix Polygoni Multiflori--Heshouwu)
  • Himalayan Teasel Root (Radix Dipsaci--Xuduan)
  • Indian Bread (Poria--Fuling)
  • Largehead Atractylodes Rhizome (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae--Baizhu)
  • Motherwort Herb (Herba Leonuir--Yimucao)
  • Prepared Rehmannia Root (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata--Shudihuang)
  • Tangshen (Radix Codonopsis--Dangshen)

So she told me if at all possible, to try and drink the tea without sugar! It is pretty nasty, but I guess I'll have to do it.

I think I have been doing pretty good on this diet of hers, although, I'm running out of things to eat. I need my flour tortillas, and my milk and carbs! I can eat them, but only 20% is almost nothing! I don't know how long this fruit and veggie diet is going to last me. It's getting really boring having to eat fruit all day! Well, all I can do is try.

In addition, I am to exercise every DAY! Fertility Yoga every other day and walking/elliptical on other days.
