Dang Gui (Chinese Angelica) - The Angel Lucifer and Original Sin
When God created the Angels and he was pleased in all but one of them. After
Eve tonified her blood by eating the forbidden
peaches from the sacred tree God's blood
became invigorated and he sentenced Eve to a lifetime of painful
and irregular menstruation. Eve developed eyes
tired from crying and began to scratch her flesh which caused pus
sores that became infected. But God took pity on her and regenerated
her flesh, expelled her pus, stopped her crying, and alleviated her pain.
Eve had many sleepless nights (cc: yin def with heat)
remembering all that (cc: dampness; diarrhea or abdominal
pain).
