Hi! Hope you guys can help on this one... (Actually, I know you can!)

I want to try the parsley tea, so that I can get my period over with (I'm supposed to start this weekend, and my SO comes back in town on Monday, and well... you get the idea) but I can't find the post/comments that said how to make it. I remember reading that it was best made with fresh parsley (I hope - otherwise I have parsley, and no reason to use it).

So if someone could PLEASE tell me how to make it so that it works, I'd appreciate it. I tried doing a search, but I can't find 2 sites that say the same thing.

Go to the store, buy parsley flakes. Heat a mug of water to very hot but NOT BOILING. Take 1-2 tablespoons of the parsley flakes and steep them in the water for about 10-15 minutes. Drink it down. Drink three mugs a day, spread out over the day (one at breakfast, lunch etc). I got mine after drinking three mugs but the woman who first mentioned this said it can take up to five. Once you start bleeding you can stop drinking the tea. Do flavor it with some honey or lemon. It's a little odd tasting.

Honestly, I have no idea why it works. There must be some sort of compound in the parsley oil that reacts with the body's hormone system. It gave me a very liberating feeling to be able to control my menstruation to some degree.
