What kind of fertility tea do you drink?

I don't know if you've noticed, but I try to be a bit of a health nut. It's served me well over the past year or so and I definitely feel the difference. Granted, I do fall off of the wagon, but usually it's pretty easy to get back on and I just feel so much better when I'm eating healthy.

So whilst at my local organic food market, I purchased some Women's Liberty Tea from Traditional Medicinals. It's mostly licorice root, wild yam, don quai root, fo-ti ruber (WTF?), angelica root and then a small blend of sweet orange peel, ginger, cinnamon, and clove.

The labeling says that it promotes a healthy hormone balance (whoo hoo!) by combining herbs to suport the production and regulation of hormones and that it's formulated according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM henceforth) to nourish and warm the blood and regular menses.

Dong quai comes up a lot in TCM anovulatory articles, but it seems that it's something that really should be administered by a herbalist, but the teas are pretty light in how much you're actually consuming, so I thought I would add it to the routine. I can't say that I'm in love with the taste, but it's way better than the colon cleanse tea that I tried to choke down last year. ICK!

So what tea do you drink?
