Woman's Moon Cycle

This one is for us ladies….men, you should only buy it for the woman in your life.

I stumbled across this tea in my local Fairway. I have been wanting to try Yogi Teas as I read a few reviews on here & they were fairly good. So I saw this flavor & laughed. But then I actually read the label & decided to buy it.

Glad I did.

First off, it has a calming aroma about it during brewing. And there is a hint of a licorice flavor to it…which I liked.

So of course all the ladies & maybe even you guys want to know…did it help?
For me….YES! It definitely did. I felt relaxed & my cramps eased up. Maybe it was just my mind messing with me knowing this tea is labeled to help ease the cramps or maybe it’s the ingredients that actually work. But after one cup, I felt better.

I’m going to drink it again at the start of the next cycle. Maybe it will continue to work. I hope so.

If not, then I’m still going to drink it from time to time as I did enjoy the flavor.

I debated NOT reviewing this tea because, y’know, there’s a little TMI inherent in it. But I make a lot of use of this particular herbal blend, so it’s only fair. And I AM drinking it. The taste is very generically herbal- nothing much sweet in here, nothing much to take note of in general. I have noticed that this seems to help with my moodiness, cramps, and even a bit with the weird hormonal night sweats I have periodically gotten for years (gah). Give it a shot- it really does work best if you drink 2 cups a day for a couple of days.

How do I say, it makes me not strangle anyone, If I have a couple of cups of this on my worst day it makes me a much nicer, happier person. It is kind of a spicy tea (not spicy hot) lots of spices. It is the best to have with Aunt Flo

I see a lot of people complaining about how the tea tastes, so I thought I’d add my two cents. Personally, I think it tastes delicious, kind of like the spices you put in pumpkin pie or gingerbread cookies.

I haven’t been using it long enough yet to make a meaningful commentary on its effectiveness, but I’m hopeful. This is the least painful first day of my period I’ve had in years, and I’ve only taken two ibuprofen pills, instead of the six I’d normally have taken by now. I feel good :).

there’s really two ways to rate this tea:

1. how it tastes.
2. how it works.

personally, i think this tea should be rated for how it works. it’s not a tea you buy for the taste, it’s a tea you get to help with cramps and other lady problems when you’re on your period. and if i’m to rate on its medicinal value, i rate this tea really high! it’s fast acting, effective, and good at getting rid of and keeping rid of cramps. it doesn’t even need to be that strong. really, what else could you ask for??

well, i guess we could ask for it to be a little bit better tasting, but i’m not complaining! the taste isn’t really bad, it’s almost like a soup broth with a celery taste. but definitely worth swallowing considering the benefits that come with it.

i’ll probably be buying this on the regular from now on. i like the idea of not having to take painkillers for my more mild cramps with this around! definitely worth a try!

So, it tastes terrible – there’s no two ways about it. If it tasted more of licorice, I might enjoy it more. But, it HAS been kind of helpful. I just wish I didn’t have to bolt down a cup to get the benefits because I can’t stand the taste. I’m keeping my box as a last resort, but honestly? I’d rather treat my symptoms with a Snickers, Excedrin and a cup of tea I actually like.

I don’t care much for the taste of this tea, but it does seem to soothe feminine pains for me, so I keep it on hand. I drink it only at the necessary time, though, and always brewed very strong. It’s a kind of… icky herbal, I don’t know.

My roommate has had this since before she moved in with me. And… I can’t say whether or not it makes much of a difference. She doesn’t like it, and I can’t say I can stand the smell of it for too long…
