I am the parsely tea diva!
Ok, I was the original one who posted this remedy, and since I didn't mark my original post as a memory, I'm going to post this once as the definitive posting on parsely tea. Then I will mark it as a memory and just send y'all the url when someone new requests info.
So, parsely tea is good for inducing your period. From what I have read, it is not an abortificant, so if you're actually pregnant, this will not make you lose your pregnancy. (Not that this is a good idea to do if you're pregnant, just that if you do so before you find out you're actually pregnant, it shouldn't hurt the baby. If you are doing this and find out you're pregnant, it probably doesn't need to be said, but - stop!) Give yourself at least three weeks from your last period before you try this, because there needs to be a uterine lining to shed.
Go to the grocery store and buy dried parsely flakes, the kind they sell in the spice aisle. You'll probably also want a tea strainer, though it's not necessary.
Take about a tablespoon of dried parsely flakes, and put them in a tea bag or strainer or just the bottom of a mug. Pour hot but *not boiling* water over the parsely. Something about boiling water destroys the chemical you need for this (I don't have a better answer, that's just what I remember reading). So, now you have a big mug of hot water and parsely flakes. Let this steep 10-15 minutes before drinking. It doesn't taste too bad, but you can add honey or lemon or milk or sugar to make it taste better. In my experience, it tastes kind of like slightly peppery hay. It doesn't bother me at all, but some people really dislike it.
Drink four cups of this a day. It should work quickly, especially if it's almost time for your period to start anyways. I'd suggest not drinking sodas and coffee during this time too, but none of my books specifically mention this. Also, don't drink too much water during this time, because you don't want to flush your system too much. I remember the first time I tried it, knowing it was going to work because I could smell the change in my urine. (I know that's a little icky for some of you more squeamish ladies, but I can tell a lot about my system from the smell of my urine.)
Lastly, don't do this for more than three days. In my experience, I've never needed more than a day and a half, and if it's still not working after three days, there could be another issue that you should probably see a doctor to check for - you could be pregnant, or there could be something going on with your reproductive organs like cysts or something else.
There you go. That's all I know about parsely tea.
