for this cycle, but sometimes cold works. It just depends on the cycle. Each time it's different. I used to be able to abort an attack in a very hot shower. The next cycle the heat did nothing and made me feel sick. The benefit you're probably getting from the tea is the caffeine. It works very well for me, (with coffee) if I catch the attack early enough. But for some caffeine is a trigger, so go figure!!!
Have you tried biofeedback or relaxation. It works well for me for a really bad attack, and it takes a lot of concentration, but it really works. Kinda like the relaxation technique I learned for childbirth.
