1. I noticed that often in Gladstar's book when she's dealing with blue or back cohosh, she makes Tinctures (page 66), BUT they take 6 weeks to make! I'm not sure if that would help the taste at all but I just thought I would mention it. Another preparation (much easier) for cohosh tea is discussed on page 201.
2. Things Gladstar lists as helping to improve taste of certain teas: cinnamon, orange peel, Stevia, licorice root, roasted dandelion root, and lemon balm. As a side note, I've noticed in some of my boxed teas, the ones with a sweet taste have Stevia as an ingredient.
3. Gladstar actually specifically mentions cohosh's unpleasant taste on page 200, she recommends diluting it with peppermint tea!
Also, I really resonated with Gladstar's talk of appreciating our moon cycles and reproductive organs. A few months ago I bought a few books which discuss menstruation in different cultures and historically - I really wanted to find examples of moon cycles being celebrated and empowering. I believe there is a better way to appreciate our reproductive cycles without the shame, annoyance and embarrassment that is generally associated with them in modern Western society. But, I'm still struggling with it personally.
On page 108, Gladstar talks about wombs as having a greater purpose than just childbirth - as our "centers" which give us power. I really liked that and had never thought about that part of my body as having much relevance to my life until I want to have kids. It felt eye-opening to think of this part of myself as new and powerful regardless of pregnancy status. It's a part of myself and womanhood I want to explore more...
p.s. Kiri - What are you exploring with cohosh? Just wondering :) good luck and I hope this helps!
The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passedWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
