Marilyn - find an oriental grocery store and get some Ballerina tea.* It's in a green box.* It will keep you cleaned out.* Now, read this carefully.* Do not drink more than one cup a day.* It's best to drink it in the evening, just before you go to bed.* When you get up the next morning, be prepared for some urgent trips to the bathroom.* The first couple of days you my have cramps, but they'll go away after you've completely evacuated your bowels.* And after the first couple of days, you won't have cramps anymore...at least I didn't.* This stuff keeps you cleaned out.* You can drink it hot or cold, and you can sweeten it or not.* If you want, the first time you can brew up a cup and drink only half of it, then have the other half the next time.* I made the mistake of drinking a couple of cups one ofter the other.* Believe me, you don't want to do that.* I drink a cup every evening.
