Day 4, Dry January:
The cold, the monthly hormones, and a fair bit more stress than usual took their toll on the tum today. Peppermint oil, ginger ale and broth weren't helping, so decided to try another old standby: star anise.
Broke up and set a few stars to decoct for a while (approx. 20 min) with some fresh ginger. Tossed in a sachet of chamomile / anise infusion and let that all sit for maybe 5-10 minutes more. Sweetened with a touch of honey.
Tonic.
Calmed the tum sufficiently to Get Things Done (mainly shoveling. Also a good bit of setting topsy turvy to rights in the house.).
Be safe, stay warm.
