Plum FlowerWanderer *Plus* Economy Size, 1000 ct

Love these tea pills. My acupuncturist had me taking dan xi xiao yao san and unless I'm mistaken jia wei xiao yao wan is a different name for dan xi xiao yao san.... in terms of the formula they are the same except this brand has a few more herbs in its blend. There is talcum in this formula but talcum is on the list of probable carcinogens because of the effect it has when inhaled (not consumed) in large quantities, any dust inhaled in large quantities is harmful to ones health. And to put it in perspective, really hot water and really cold water are also on the list of probable carcinogens. Anyway, I can really see why it's called "free and easy wanderer" I definitely think this is helping me stay mindful of my thoughts and manage the ol monkey brain. This might be TMI for some but taking these has reduced the number of days in my menstrual cycle from 30 to 28 (sometimes 27) which has resulted in less cramping (which was a big issue for me), and a better mood around that time of the month (and all of the time, honestly). I asked my midwife if having a shorter cycle because of these herbs could be unhealthy and she didnt seem to think that was likely. I only take 8 pills 2 times a day because I'm on a budget but if life became more stressful I think I would up my intake to the recommended 8 pills 3 times a day. Would also agree with others who have suggested reserving judgement until you've taken these for at least a month, especially if your trying these for their anti anxiety effect. For me these are definitely worth every penny.

I am in my 40s with a history of depression. By my choice, I no longer take prescription medications because I don't like their side effects. I have been taking this formula from a different brand for a while now with some relief. During the past few months, after a major loss in my life, I went into a depression that I was having a hard time coming out of. My acupuncturist recommended increasing the dose of this formula and adding a second formula which is called Gan Mai Da Zao Pian. To save money I ordered this larger size of the Plum Flower brand. Within less than a week I was feeling much better: more energy, sleeping better, less depressed. I actually think that the Plumflower brand is better than the other brand that I was taking. I do not believe the second formula is offered by this brand, but if anyone out there is suffering from depression I would recommend looking up that second formula and ordering a bottle. I take four pills of that twice a day along with the free and easy wanderer, of which I take six pills three times a day.

My acupuncturist refers to is as the “happy” pill. It does help me with my stress and anxiety. Helps to calm me down. Recommend this product.

I began taking Free and Easy Wanderer Plus at age 42. I am now 64 and still take it daily. It helped me survive menopause. Keeps me sane. Really it does!I was troubled by my quick temper and negative thoughts that began rather suddenly as I was approaching menopause in my 40's. I was beginning to not recognize myself and felt out of control. My naturaopathic physician recommended it. With F&EW+ I feel like myself and have a normal range of emotions and reactions. Doses have been between 8-20 teapills 2x/day, depending on what is going on in life.

I wanted to balance my hormones and strengthen my liver. I feel calm, centered.... even my balance is better.

I have used this TCM formula from other companies, at the advice of my Chinese doctor. I haven't had the need to use this for a while, but lately I've been getting stressed out, easily angered and holding on to feelings of grudging. I also began getting gout flare ups, when I would get stressed and angry.All of this falls in line with a classis tcm diagnosis, for which this formula will help with. I ordered these pills and I must say I'm really pleased with the quality of it. I began to see the effects within the first week. I actually took a little more than recommended for the first week, then tapered down to the recommended dosage.For those that complain about so many of the little pills to take, it's not that bad once you get used to it. I'm writing this review, because I'm in the process of ordering more. Great product, great company!

I just love these ! A few years ago my acupuncturist sold me these , now I've found them on Amazon. I feel back to my old self! no matter what your age , ladies, they balance you out . I give them to my 14 year old daughter , they make her so tolerable !!I don't feel overwhelmed easily , lethargic , sleep great! I can not say enough good things about Chinese herbs , make me , me again . It does take about a week to feel the full benefits , and keep on taking your regular vitamins , herbal supplements . Hope this helps any one that reads it . It really doesn't hurt to try !

After teying these and feeling completely "off", my acupuncturist advised me, after I purchased this, that because this company is based in California, there are ingredients they must remove from the original xiao yao wan formula. As a result there is a cooling effect on your body, when the original xiao yao wan has a warming effect. You can also experience indigestion on this incorrect formula. Very disappointed as I already spent the money hoping for a deal on the bulk.
