Restoring the hand

One day, my right hand turned old. It was wrinkled like an old person's hand. 

I was in my very early fifties.  

It had been a year since I hadn't menstruated. 

Suddenly, I started menstruating. ... and my hand was restored. 

By the grace of Allah, about the time when my hand got wrinkled, we were also having star anise tea for health reasons. Probably had it for a few days, and then left. Later on, I learnt that it has oestrogen-like effects, and helps in menstruation.
