Self-Care

I have to confess that I’m failing this week’s challenge miserably, people. April is insane for academics, and all I do is prepare final exams, finish my article, and read my news feed obsessively for news about Ukraine.

I don’t even have anything planned for my birthday on Friday, except for yet another departmental meeting.

This sucks, I suck, I’m underachieving in the relaxation department. I need to force myself to relax and take it easy! I said, relax and take it easy, stupid Clarissa! And go do some self-love now!

    Hange-koboku-to is useful for more than what’s in the PubMed article, but this should give you a representative sample. The ingredient that correlates closest with the observed effects from Hange-koboku-to is magnolia bark, followed by ginger root.

    See if you can find an herbalist who can blend magnolia bark with ginger root for making an herbal tisane …

      That’s a very good idea! I love ginger root. And I love tisanes.
