February was a busy, busy month. I've done a pretty good job but I have to admit...it's a little difficult to keep this up! I slept later than I wanted to a lot of the month, had a slight lapse in my alcohol intake...had a quarter of a glass of wine and 2/3 of a beer one night and the next day was hungover. Yes, hungover. I will probably revert back to having none or just a few sips when I'm out with people. I have been having a lot of fun though, which has to count for something!
I purposefully took a two week break from the Chinese herbs during which had a consultation with my Chinese doctor (Dr. Chris) to lay out the plan for the next three months. The general plan is to continue as I am with the following changes:
- Dr. Chris will change the herbs to focus on breast-heart-liver-lymph clearing to reduce/remove heaviness in breasts before my period (which apparently is an indication of toxin removal)
- Ways I can help focus on liver toxin clearing: eat more sour foods - lemon, lime, vinegar (some put garlic in red vinegar and take a tablespoon of it a day);
- Refrain from alcohol, this could slow down progress; emotional stress can affect progress as well
