Recipe for Postponing Menopause & Anti-Aging
A common preparation of Mulberry Mistletoe in China is to cook the herb with an egg, and then eat the egg in its broth. This is often made into a sweet dessert, cooked with dates and Job’s Tears.
For menstruating women, if this egg tea is prepared and consumed each day for the seven days following the end of that month’s menstrual cycle, and consumed monthly, it can prolong menstruating years, and be very anti-aging.
