Teri,
After several painful experiences here and at other sites, Bruce decided it was time for a change, do something more creative, and asked me to step in and post for him.
To help me answer your question, I contacted our good friend, Rosanna Martella, who is a sculptor, shiatsu therapist, macrobiotic teacher, counselor and cook (Please see Rosanna's Macrobiotic/Sufi Kitchen
http://www.rosanna.com/ and her new discussion site: macrosy7
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/macrosy7/ ), and she says that you could use the whole package (notice that the directions say for one or two hip baths)
http://www.simply-natural.biz/Hiba.php.
Rosanna says that the proof of it working is when you start discharging mucus.
Kristina Turner in her book, The Self-Healing Cookbook: A Macrobiotic Primer for Healing Body, Mind and Moods With Whole Natural Foods
http://www.simply-natural.biz/Self-Healing-Cookbook.php to use a big handful of leaves (30-40) to a 1 - 2 gallon container of boiling water, simmer 15 minutes--until the water turns brown...and you can read the rest in your copy!
Bruce tells me that you can e-mail him if you wish, as he would be happy to hear from you, and wishes you the best health, happiness, and peace.
Be well!
Cool Dude
