I have a friend who used to get a bit "backed up" when she went on vacations. So, she asked her doctor if there was something "gentle" she could take that would help with her situation. He gave her a box of Chinese tea that tasted like cinnamon. He also told her, "Drink only half a cup! It takes a little while to work so do NOT drink any more than half a cup of this tea!"
So we all went on vacation to a friends cabin in southern Colorado and she brewed up a half cup of the tea. And she waited, and waited...nothing. So she brewed up a whole cup of the tea and drank it. Then we all decided to make the two hour drive to Taos. Along the drive I could tell she was in some distress. As soon as we got to Taos, she demanded we stop at the WalMart right on the edge of town. She was walking funny but she made it into the store and about halfway to the bathroom in the back of the store before the tea REALLY kicked in!
After that it was just a nightmare...she had to buy new jeans to wear out of the store! When she got back to the car everyone was wondering what on earth had kept her so long and why was she wearing new clothes? She was very quiet for the rest of the day...
So that is why you REALLY have to follow all label directions!! I had to burn those jeans, I can never go back into that WalMart in Taos and my family will never let me forget it. My mother still laughs until she crys when she talks about it! Mike knows better than to ever bring it up but he has a pretty funny name for the tea!
