A soothing cup to steady the stomach and quiet the waves within.
Warming ginger and bright orange peel awaken digestive fire and help guide rebellious stomach Qi downward. Spearmint cools and refreshes, while chamomile and lemon balm soften tension and calm the senses. Together they create a gentle, balanced infusion traditionally enjoyed to ease nausea, support digestion, and restore comfort.

To Prepare: (In the Evening) Place a half an inch of herb in the bottom of a quart size canning jar (a handful or two). Experiment with the amount of herb and strength of the taste to find what works for you. But please make sure there is at least approximately 1⁄2 an inch in the jar. Fill the jar to 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 of an inch from the top with boiling water. Stir the herbs down into the water so that they are all wet and mixed in and not floating. Cover the jar with a lid or small plate to retain the essential oils and let sit overnight. In the morning, strain using a small mesh strainer into another canning jar and your “tea” (technically an infusion, a concentrated tea) is now ready. Since this is a highly nutritious drink it is also strongly flavored. Some women love it and cannot get enough of it!! Some tolerate it and others have a difficult time. These suggestions are offered to help you maximize the amount you do drink. Feel free to experiment, so that you are sure to drink it frequently. Some women like to make a gallon or more at a time and store it in the fridge. This way they can make it 1-2 times in a week. This is easier for some women and they end up drinking the recommended amount.
