i fully understand the not being able to buy a book now. here's the guidelines of diet #3. (Comes from idea that all body problems are fixed through 1 of three diets: #1 for too yin conditions, #2 for too yang, and #3 for too much of both). The liver calls out for help through all sorts of body parts: eyes, skin on chin and upper chest, and ovary/uteran areas. Also if you have cold feet, this could be related. Ok, back to diet #3: for about 3 months straight try to stay as close to this as you can:
No: meat, dairy, shellfish, wheat, buckwheat (both very yang, binding grains), oats (mucous causing, this only for 1 month stay away). Focus on medium grains like brown rice of course, millet, barley, amaranth. sometimes mixing with legumes as you want. Eat more 50 to 60% grains, and your veggies should be medium (by medium i mean not too yin or yang) like the round types: cabbage, onions, winter squashes. occasionally the upward greens and downward roots....I'm a HUGE fan of adzuki beans with pumpkin and sweet brown rice. very common recipe, but i can give it to you if you'd like!!! Your cooking should be medium: pan roasting, braising, boiling, with minimal oil (i use spray oil or water), minimal fats, avoid nuts and seeds/nut butters.
Basically keep to the middle of things as much as possible. Not too salty or sweet, not too spicy, no icy drinks. Soup each day, maybe twice. They key is avoiding wheat for the full 3 months and oats for the first (binding foods like wheat along with baked products which you should fully avoid go straight to our uteruses!!!, furthering stagnation).

I have been doing ginger compresses and then using the leftover water for ginger body scrubs (i hope you're doing these too!) and of course my femoral massages, but until my daikon leaves dry, i've been doing sea salt baths like 3 times a week right before bed...remember to lay down immediately after for at least an hour!

As far as extracts are concerned, i'm personally not on any, but i've been considering Vitex which is also called Chasteberry. Completely natural and very available in Vitamin Shoppe and even www.mothernature.com. It helps to naturally regulate hormones without taxing or confusing our regular rhythms.

The diet sounds extreme,maybe hard to do with a family, but it feels fantastic!!! A new fav dessert of mine is pan roasted pears and/ or apples with sweet brown rice, rice milk and a little barley malt and cinnamon. This satisfies my sugar craves, as yes, you should fully and completely avoid all "sugar" barring occasional brown rice syrup and barley malt. Try pan roasting fruit with a little salt like you used to do potatoes from days of old...amazing!

I hope this is helpful...oh! and consider checking your beauty products for parabens (methylparaben, propylparabens). they mimic estrogen in our systems and are in a lot of natural products too (deoderants, lotion, shampoos, conditioners, etc). I have switched to Jason (alson on mothernature.com) which is inexpensive, though dr. bronners is also good. Both vitex and paraben free living takes about 3 months to show results, but it's worth it to know! Phew, what a long entry, let me know if there's anything else i can do! :-)
