Going on 14 weeks of Acupuncture

I've been on acupuncture and chinese herbal tea treatments for 13 1/2 weeks. It's amazing what a difference I have noticed in myself. Not only in my cycles, but in the way I feel. I am much more at ease, relaxed, and not as stressed as I used to be. There is not tension in my shoulders nor the back of my head. I love going to the treatments, especially because I know that it is doing somethin good for me.

I think that I ovulated either yesterday or today. My BBT has not showed anything yet, but my temperature sky rocketed today. At my session today I fell asleep. It is so weird because I had just woken up two hours earlier. LAc told me that I could drink my tea in my cup of water instead of dividing it into two cups. I am so glad, because sometimes in the mornings I am so busy, that I don't even have time to eat, yet I drink the tea anyway. From now on, as strong and nasty as it may be, I will be drinking it only once.

Here are the herbs for this week:
  1. Chinese Angelica (Radix Angelicae Sinensis--Danggui)
  2. Chinese Herb # 0509011-20050901
  3. Chinese Herb # 0510081-20051008
  4. Dodder Seed (Semen Cuscutae--Tusizi)
  5. Fleeceflower Root (Radix Polygoni Multiflori--Heshouwu)
  6. Himalayan Teasel Root (Radix Dipsaci--Xuduan)
  7. Indian Bread (Poria--Fuling)
  8. Nutgrass Galingale Rhizome (Rhizoma Cyperi--Xiangfu)
  9. Prepared Rehmannia Root (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata--Shudihuang)
  10. Tangshen (Radix Codonopsis--Dangshen)
