Weekly Tea #3 - INSTANT NAUSEA CURE

Lemon Ginger

I don't know about you, but I occassionally get really bad menstrual cramps. Cramps so bad I shake and get nauseous. Of course there's teas for the cramps themselves but this time I want to cover what instantly fixed my nausea - Twining's Lemon & Ginger tea.

Have you ever had that feeling (people with uteruses can relate if they get terrible cramps) where your stomach is cramping so bad that it feels like things are about to come out both ends at the same time? Yea, that was me.

Thankfully, I wasn't home alone during these cramps so I asked my dad to make the tea for me as I was in no shape to get up from the toilet and do it myself at the moment. I had taken Tylenol right before this cramp attack, so I knew it was only a matter of time before sweet, sweet relief. In the meantime, I had to ride it out as best I could...

Because this was the most nauseous I had felt during cramps in awhile, the first remedy that came to mind was ginger and I had just seen a brand new box of this tea in the kitchen.

Once my dad brought it to me, I forced a sip down. And another, in between the cramps. It got to a point where I couldn't safely hold the teacup to my mouth with one hand because I was shaking from the pain so badly. So I just held the cup and saucer to my nose with both hands and took big inhales of the smell.

And that was it.

The nausea was gone and the cramps subsided just enough (divine timing, I am not attributing this to the tea) to allow me to quickly travel to my bed from my miserable place on the toilet. The pain was still so bad I wanted to cry. I called my boyfriend and his comforting words and dad jokes took my mind off the pain just long enough to tide me over until the Tylenol finally kicked in (around 40-45 min later on an empty stomach).

If you want my menstrual cramp tea recipe, let me know and I'll do a whole post on that soon.

I highly recommend this tea for nausea (not just menstrual nausea, but I think it'd help morning sickness and vertigo as well - let me know in the comments below!).

Gluttony

An unsettling feeling sets in,

a tumult of nausea and

illness blankets my thoughts.

I have filled myself with

chocolate decadence,

glutted myself with

cups of tea.

I get up,

to get more?

Sweet velvet

with a crunch of salt

gilds my mind.

Or perhaps another

cup, to sooth the budding

anxiety. The thought of

liquid makes my stomach turn,

and food makes my tongue burn.

I get up, and I am no better.

I turn to my kitchen,

this is not right.

Then

It dawns

I HAVE TO PEE!!!

I’ve gotta request something sooo self indulgent…. Halsin x tav where tav has tummy hurty and halsin makes it better. how is up to you! xx

(My inner Druid is going to come out on this one)

Halsin Versus Tummyache

>Halsin realizes they aren’t feeling well before his heart is even awake. He hears them groaning in their sleep and sees the light sheen of sweat on their brow.

>He’s up and down to the river for fresh water, picking at wildflowers that remind him of Tav on the way. Reaching the outside of your shared cabin he stops to pick some of the white flowers with big yellow centers that you grow in large quantities. Chamomile flowers.

>Once inside he can hear Tav’s grumbles of stomach trouble. His chest strained at the misery in their voice. They’re calling for him.

>He sets the water to boil on the hearth and he checks in on them. Giving them forehead kisses and opening their window to provide them fresh air.

>Back in the kitchen he sets to a remedy for his dear heart, most of the chamomile flowers are made into a tea— to which he adds grated fresh ginger, and some of the fresh mint that grows in the window box you’d planted together.

>He brings them the wildflowers (mixed with the unused chamomile flowers) in a bouquet on a tray with the tea. Kissing their sweaty brow until they wake he presents them the tray.

>”Drink up my heart, you’ll feel better soon” He says, the kindness and warmth radiating from his honey color eyes.

>He sits with them as they drink their tea, running soothing circles on their back as the upset stomach starts to pass. They drift back off to sleep, a quality sleep this time, soon after the mug is drained. They sleep well in the arms of a rather large elf, who loves them so.
