CHINESE TEA Xiao Yao Wan/Free N Easy Wande, 200 CT

Surprisingly this makes me feel relaxed and less tense. I needed something for my PMS and irregular period. I think it is working. I have only taken it for about two weeks so I can't say too much yet but I already started to feel effects within a week. It says to take 8 pills three times a day but I am taking 4-5 pills three times a day instead just to test how my body will react (and since I am light-weight). Eventually I might up the dose. When I had my period few days ago my menstrual cramp pains decreased. For the first time in many years I didn't have to take pain reliever for my cramps. Coincidence? Not sure. I hate large capsules so these tiny teapills (like little brown pellets) are easy for me to swallow. I heard about Xiao Yao Wan/San for few years now, I should have tried it long ago. Depending on the brand and if it is in powder form, there are many names for this formula... so watch out for that. Here are the main ingredients if anyone is wondering: Chai hu Bai shao Dang gui Bai zhu Fu ling Sheng jiang Gan cao Bo he There is a "Free & Easy Wanderer PLUS" which add two more ingredients to the original formula but I believe that's more for people with "heat" problems like hot flashes or organs that need cooling down (e.g. expels heat from liver).

My boyfriend and I are very high strung people! He does construction and drinks coffee and smokes all day and is OCD about everything. He barks and screams all night because we have 4 kids at home that don't listen. One day i came home and he was calm and relaxed and i told him bad news and his response was ok we will deal with that later and kept doing what he was doing. I didn't say anything and 10 minutes later he says oh by the way i tried some of your ancient Chinese secrete pills in cabinet and i screamed WOW THEY DO WORK! He now takes them in the morning before work and his co-workers even said he changed. I order these all the time..... it saved our relationship. I take them when im PMSing.

I don't believe in herbs and vitamins and kelp and smelly oils etc so it took me three months to get around to trying these pills after a friend bought them for me. OH MY HAT, they work so well. If you're feeling a little (okay, a lot) edgy with PMS or irritating children or a crazy boss, try these things. They work better than xanex, no kidding. So far, four of my friends have tried them and they have all ordered more. The pills are also tiny little things so they're very easy to take and there are no icky, sicky issues like you get when you take some vitamins. The price is really reasonable so you've got nothing to lose by at least trying them. You won't regret it, total life saver.

I was taking this due to a suggestion from a family friend who is an acupuncturist. Told it would help with my intense mood at that time of the month. It did more than that! I have always had some depression. It took away my sadness. To be fair I had a very physically active life at the time I took it. In June of 2017 I was diagnosed with an illness that required opioids & very little activity. I have since had surgery. I am on the mend. As soon as I stop the meds I will resume taking this & only this. I told my therapist once I don’t get depressed. It was true when I added this supplement to my diet. If you suffer from melancholy this really will help.

It takes a little while to do something. There are 8 little beads you're supposed to take at once. I think this product can provide some level of stress relief, but if you are in a high stress position (such as working), then you probably need something of prescription strength or get out of the situation permanently. I've tried many OTC things like this, and this one actually seems to do something. Update day 2 - This does help. However, it does cause a certain level of sedation. If you have an active job, then this could be a problem. The effects are very subtle, but you can see a difference in outward behavior in tolerating difficult people. Similar to a benzo, it deceases inner sensitivity and increases outer tolerance when having to deal with difficult people. I'd give it a 5, but the mild sedation can make time seem to pass more slowly.

I heard about these pills...Free and easy wonderer Tea Pills from a nurse at my husbands Drs. office. She was mentiong that she had been have some problems with TMJ again and her sister gave her some pills to try. She tried them for one week and she was hooked. I listened to her talk and asked a few questions. She told me where to find them and I ordered that night. Within a week most all of my TMJ pain and stiffness was gone. After about 3 weeks now things are working well. I can tell that I start to have problems if I skip a dose. The bottle calls for 14 or 16 pills a day. I take 2 in the AM and 2 at bedtime. Same as my nurse friend. We both have good results. If you have TMJ problems, I really think you will be pleased with this product.

There's nothing really bad about these pills, but I found nothing really great about them either. I didn't care for having to take 24 pills per day. Yes, the pills are small, but why is that? Would've preferred if it was 2 or even 3 pills per serving instead of 8. I took the product regularly for about 4 days. At least I tried to. I admit I forgot a couple of times to take the second dose. Anyhow, I can't say I noticed anything, good or bad after I took them. I guess because they didn't have any noticeable effect on me, I became more inconsistent with taking them and then just put them aside and stopped taking them altogether. I should note that I am a person who has several ongoing anxiety disorders (I'm under a doctor's care) and maybe my anxiety is just too strong for the pills to handle. I don't know. They may be best for someone who experiences light anxiety. I'm not going to say they are useless, because it seems it's helped some people, but it just wasn't the right kind of pill for me. I also wonder if maybe I wasn't taking the pills long enough to see an effect. Maybe if I had taken these regularly for several weeks I would've noticed something. Anyway, my review is 3 stars, right in the middle.

Bottle says “Encapsulated in WHEAT”. Beware if you have gluten issues
