Lemme know how it works for you.
I look at it this way...anything that makes water more enjoyable...I'm there!
And if it makes me pee more...it's a bonus!!

Parsley is suppose to help too! I think Lee had mentioned Papaya & Watermelon. I've been using Arnica for the swelling. I am not sure its helping.. Gosh, I wish I had a nursing background.. that would be helpful in evaluating my own recovery.
Good luck on your swelling and water retention..the Time of the Month can be a B..

Good to know it's yummy. I think water consumption it difficult for a lot of us. I know I'm in the same boat and resort to using a lot of things like crystal light but I hate all the artificial sweeteners. This sounds like a great option and much healthier. Thanks for trying it out. I'm getting the stuff today!!

Good for you!!
My 7 yo daughter even asked for a glass last night!
She never drinks water.
I went to sleep hoping she wouldn't pee the bed.

Laura- right there with you!!
I can't take Crystal Light any more.
I think I have had too much of it in the last 2 1/2 years.
Find myself looking for options because I know I need to drink.
Plus the fact that I swell at the drop of a hat...does not make me enamored of water.

I am drinking it right now and I love it! I shredded the cucumber and added some lemon zest and a squeezed lemon! I was afraid the ginger might be overwhelming, but the mint is perect with the lemon and ginger! I hope it works! I will let you know!
