I had swelling in my legs after a long illness and honestly it frightened me. What I respected about this book is that it was clear about when to go and see a doctor, and just as clear about what you can safely do for yourself at home. Week three was when I turned the corner. I'm back on my feet and back at work.
I'm a sceptical man by nature. I checked a few of the herbs against things I already knew and they hold up nothing in here is invented. The daily core, the six things you do every day, is the real value for me. I still do the dry brushing and the walking. My legs aren't perfect but they're better, and better is enough.
My grandmother used to make bush tea and I never paid her any mind. Turns out she was right about most of it. I knew the cerasee, I knew the sorrel but I never knew what to do with them, or when, or how much. Now I do. That's what this book actually gave me.
I'm not a tea person, I'll say that up front. I did it anyway because my doctor told me to keep my legs moving and I wanted something concrete to follow instead of vague advice. Reading the whole book first like it tells you to was the right call. By day thirty the puffiness in my hands was mostly gone. My daughter noticed before I did.
I've tried so many cleanses and teas over the years and most of them just made me run to the bathroom all day. This one is gentler than that. The moringa in week two was my favourite part. I finished the whole month and I feel lighter in my body, not just in my stomach, if that makes sense.
I sit at a desk twelve hours a day. By evening my ankles would swell and my shoes felt tight. The weekly shopping list was the part that made it easy for me my wife gets everything in one trip to the Indian grocery, no hunting around. Small thing, but it's why I actually finished it.
At my age you get tired of being told to just lose weight. This book never says that once. It says drink this, rub that, walk a little. I did all thirty days without missing one. My knees hurt less and I sleep better than I have in years. The measurement page is what kept me honest I could see it going down even on the weeks I felt nothing.
Honest? I read the first week and thought, this is too easy, it can't work. I was wrong.
The foot soak before bed is the thing that got me. My ankles went down enough that my boots fit again, and that was all I wanted out of it.
I work nights at a hospital so I'm tired all the time and my legs ache. What I liked is that this doesn't ask much of you. Thirty days, short steps, nothing you have to order from somewhere strange. The ginger and lemon tea on Day 4 is the one I kept. I still make it most mornings before I sleep.
My hands were the worst of it. Puffy every morning, and I couldn't get my rings past my knuckle. It took me a while to get the oil massage direction right I was doing it the wrong way for a week but once I did, my fingers came down enough that I wear my wedding ring again. I cried a little, honestly.
My legs felt like two bags of sand. I'm on my feet all day on concrete so I figured it was just my life. I didn't believe a cup of tea was going to change that. It wasn't fast nothing happened for about ten days but the heaviness eased off and I stopped dreading the stairs at night. My wife does the month with me now.
I bought this because my ankles were so swollen by the end of the day I couldn't get my work shoes back on. The three seeds water on Day 1 sounded far too simple to do anything. By the second week I noticed I wasn't taking my rings off at night anymore. The foot steam is my favourite part now I do it every Sunday evening, same as church.
