emma,

for someone new, you got to the great sources. Good for you!!!

I read all your different posts, wish I were alot more knowledgeable for your specific questions. The good points going for you is you find mb easy and you love your job. The more joy you have in life, the easier you make it for your body to be healthy. For the pressure you feel, are you familiar with sweet vegetable drink? It's purpose is manifold, one of them to "yinnize" - pressure is quite yang, and you want something soft, yin, to balance that. Take 1/4 cup of each of the following vegetables, cut very small: Onions, Winter Squash (doesn't matter which, the sweeter the better), Carrots and Cabbage. Simmer with 4 cups of water for a half hour and drain. NO SALT. Drink about 1/2 cup warmed up mid-morning (around 10) and mid-afternoon (around 4) - keep rest of SVD (sweet vegetable drink) refrigerated and it should keep 2 - 3 days. Hope this helps a little. (btw, don't expect a super sweet drink - if you have very sensitive taste buds, you may discern the sweetness. But if you are new to all this, just trust this will help, don't worry if it just tastes like warm water right now) (or you could add more vegetables or less water til your taste buds start changing)
