Works but use caution!
Reading some of these reviews had me cringing a bit because there's a few things that people are apparently not aware of and I thought it best to at least have them informed. I gave this product a 5 star review because it does work and it works well, if you do certain things such as the following:
1) Do not drink the tea right away. You need to let it sit for at least 5-10 minutes.
2) 2-3 bags instead of 1 bag makes a big difference.
3) So does the amount of water you drink before and after (this also helps with cramping).
4) Don't add anything to it- it doesn't taste that bad, nor does it taste that good. Just drink it and be done.
Now, more important than following it correctly- I want to issue a warning because I found this troubling when reading the reviews- THIS SHOULD NOT BE A REGULAR IN YOUR DIET. Great you've lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks, you know what you're also doing? You're destroying your intestines.This tea is a high concentrate of cassia (senna- laxative) It can literally create sludge in your bowels that not only causes blockage, it can cause kidney and liver damage when overused. This product is not meant to be taken daily. My own doctor told me that this product should never be done more than once a week, preferably no more than twice in a month. It can also lead to dependence. Using this product daily is a form of purging and could easily be placed under the umbrella of bulimia.
