Acupunture week 41

I am on week 41 of acupuncture. That is 10 months and 1 week of acupuncture. Today we discussed RE's results. I will come back later to add info.

Beginning today (CD17-CD23), I am to drink the following herbs:

1. Chinese # 0508231-20050823-1-10
2. Chinese # 0606011-20060601-3-10
3. Chinese # 0611021-20061102-1-10
4. Danshen Root (Radix Salviae Mil Tiorrhizae--Danshen)
5. Gambir Plant (Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis--Gouteng)
6. Glossy Privet Fruit (Fructus Ligustri Lucidi--Nuzhenzi)
7. Himalayan Teasel Root (Radix Dipsaci--Xuduan)
8. Oyster Shell (Concha Ostreae--Muli)
9. Prepared Rehmannia Root (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata--Shudihuang)
10. White Peony Root (Radix Paeoniae Alba--Baishao)

This is for my second week (CD24-CD30) I am to take the following herbs:

• Chinese # 0508231-20050823-1-10
• Chinese # 0610081-20061008-1-15
• Danshen Root (Radix Salviae Mil Tiorrhizae--Danshen)
• Dodder Seed (Semen Cuscutae--Tusizi)
• Gambir Plant (Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis-Gouteng)
• Himalayan Teasel Root (Radix Dipsaci--Xuduan)
• Prepared Fleeceflower Root (Radix Polygoni Multiflori preparata--Zhiheshouwu)
• Safflower (Flos Carthami--Honghua)
• Szechwan Chinaberry Fruit (Fructus Toosendan--Chuanlianzi)
• Trogopterus Dung (Faeces Trogopterori--Wulingzhi)

All right, this last one tastes as bad as it sounds, it smells like "Faeces" and it is a "-terori" to drink it. I have had such a hard time; it's not pretty. I have to cover my nose as I drink it and then continue holding it for about 5 minutes and even then I still have that disgusting flavor in my mouth!~ Ugh!
