The Sanguine Kettle
Waning Moon in LibraThis warming decoction seeks to gently calm the fiery humors that unsettle the sweet balance of the blood. Cinnamon, a gift from the Orient, draws the vital spirits inward and tempers the rushing of the lower stomach. Ginger, the root of the warrior, kindles the digestive hearth and encourages the proper separation of nourishment from waste. A whisper of black pepper sharpens the essence, ensuring the body's golden threshold remains steady. Sipped at the quiet hour, this tea is a humble pact with the humors to restore the vessel's equilibrium.
