The Wind’s Calm Draught
First Quarter Moon DescendingBloating arises from a stagnation of the watery humors, often accompanied by a turbulent wind in the lower vessel. This draught employs the warming rhizome of Zingiber officinale (ginger) to kindle the digestive fire and dispel chill, while the sharp zest of Citrus limon cuts through phlegmatic congestion. A whisper of fresh peppermint leaves (Mentha × piperita) soothes the agitated belly spirits, and raw honey (Apis mellifera) harmonizes the humors with its gentle sweetness, coaxing the trapped winds to release their grip.
✦ Pantry Ingredients

1 teaspoon
✦ Ritual Preparation Steps

STEP 1
Bring 2 cups of filtered water to a gentle boil in a clean clay or earthenware pot. Add the ginger slices and lemon, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Cover the vessel to prevent the vital steam from escaping.

STEP 2
Remove from the hearth and add the peppermint leaves. Steep for 8 minutes, allowing the volatile humors to infuse. Strain into a ceramic cup.

STEP 3
Stir in the honey while the brew is still warm, then sip slowly in a seated, quiet posture. Breathe deeply into the belly with each sip, envisioning the trapped winds dispersing. Take no other food for one hour after.
