Night Terror

Night terror is a condition caused by ingesting a large amount of nightrose tea. Nightrose tea is notorious for being a cheap birth control option for ghynzuan woman. The dosing of this traditional medicine is not always that straightforward though.

Nightrose can often be found growing in fields or even gardens. The beautiful flowers are used to decorate homes and can even retain their nightly glow for several days after they have been cut. Leaves are used to make tea. Overconsumption can however result in a condition called night terror.

Prevention of pregnancy

When consumed in small amounts nightrose tea prevents a woman from becoming pregnant. The correct amount is one cup of nightrose tea every four days. The cup of tea is made with only one fresh medium leaf from the nightrose plant. Dried leaves (used during the winter months) are less potent and so more must be used to make the tea. This is where things sometimes go wrong. How big is a medium leaf? And how much should one use when using dried leaves since they are less potent.
