Good on you @indmissbl. Here's more info from joyfulbelly:
AKA Tri Dosha Tea,
About Cumin, Coriander, Fennel Tea
Cumin, Coriander and Fennel Tea is one of Ayurveda's most famous formulas for detoxification and burning up excess water weight. The revitalizing yet mild blend gets right to the point, helping to warm up your circulation and clean your lymphatic system. Its flushing action simultaneously cleanses the urinary tract and reduces water retention.
Nicknamed CCF tea, this blend stokes metabolism and the digestive fire, restoring vitality where winter sluggishness abounds. It's mild bitterness revs up the spring detoxification process and purifies the blood. CCF tea restores tone and tightness to swollen spring tissues. It is a soothing formula that reduces agitation and inflammation. It restores a calm clarity and spaciousness to a tense mind.
For best results, place 1 tsp of CCF in a tea ball in your favorite mug. Pour boiling water over the tea and let sit for 3-4 minutes. Drink with every meal for at least two weeks.
Wow, thank you for the information. I added it to my notes. I am excited to take the steps outlined in the book. Question... what do you know about dry brushing? The author says to do it before morning shower but I take a nightly bath. Do you know if that would be a problem?
With the skin being the largest organ of the body, dry brushing seems appropriate in the morning, for circulation and moving the lymph system. Maybe just a quick rinse to remove what the brushing has loosened is a good plan.
Cool. Hey, just jump right in and learn ayurveda as you do it. It's really a diy type lifestyle at least 6 millenia old. Probably older, that's when they started writing it down. It's all about people having issues and trying different things to get remedy. The ones that worked are passed down through multitudes of generations and extremely well documented. Have fun with this and make it a game for your health and you'll score big.
I think it quite amazing and it has sure helped me over the past almost 30 years.
She calls it prime tea. It's 4-5 cups of water with 1/2 teaspoon each coriander seed, cumin seed and fennel seed. Drink it hot all day long.
