As a woman with the age of a fine wine, I have entered the dreaded perimenopause phase. My emotions became scattered and extreme along with very painful breasts, bloating and water retention. My NP diagnosed me with PMDD, which is an extreme form of PMS in women with hormone sensitivity. There isn't really a good western treatment for PMDD so I sought advice for my osteopathic doctor and coupled her homeopathic remedy with this tea. While my cycle was wonky for a couple months, I immediately noticed my emotions became stable again, my breast tenderness reduced, and my cycle is much easier to deal with. For me, it was a life changing tea, thats how extreme my cycle had become. Now I feel like my 'ol self again!

Silly me ... I must have been having an off day when I wrote my previous post saying I wasn't a fan of the flavor because of the Hibiscus. I've been having a cup almost every day, and my taste buds now appreciate the depth of the brew and the subtle hint of "pepper" which must be the ginger. If anyone is on the fence and hesitating because of my review, go ahead and buy it. I was wrong ... I admit it.

I've only had about 4 cups of this tea so I can't speak to its effectiveness in balancing hormones.This tea, along with the Vitalitea, seemed to look the freshest when I opened the container for the first time. It is as if I walked into my own non-existent garden and snipped the herbs myself. So fresh! I bought Women's Wellness specifically for the blood circulation and anti-inflammatory properties, and I imagine I should drink a cup daily for several days before I would notice any effects, particularly in inflammation. This is the fifth tea I've purchased from Kauai Farmacy and probably my least favorite ONLY because I am not a fan of Hibiscus in tea. My husband had a cup and likes it because it has a fuller body to it while I prefer the softness of the Tranquility or Wellness tea (not Women's Wellness). If I feel a difference in body inflammation after going through the tin, I'll reorder, otherwise, I'll stick to Vitalitea, Wellness, Love Potion and Tranquility. So many teas, so little time. If I could, I'd have a cup of each tea every day but I'd probably float away in bliss. I just received the Healing Balm which I will review after I've used it for a week or two. Stay tuned.

This tea is great and I find that my menstrual cycle mood and sometimes the anxiety that goes with it changes for the better if I manage it with this tea. Thanks for the great product!

This tea tastes and smells great. It's very calming and I feel incredible when drinking it. I just think that if you genuinely have strong menstrual irregularities or hormonal imbalances (e.g., PCOS), you might want to look into a stronger dosage of chaste berry. I went to my naturopath and got something more effective for me (specifically), but also kept drinking the tea. It's delicious :)
