If you are feeling backed up and need to get things moving, an 8oz cup of this tea taken before going to bed, steeped for a maximum of 15 minutes, will give you the expected results the following morning. One tea bag is enough to do the trick, and works every time, so follow the instructions properly and resist the temptation to use more than one.

The taste may not be great but is not unpleasant and will grow on you with time. The tea loses a star because you may get some stomach cramps as it starts to work (some people reportedly don't), but then the tea will live up to its gentle name when you get your easy and painless bowel movement. As reported by other reviewers, steeping for less than 15 minutes may reduce the cramping. Some people have got it to work after seeping the tea bag for only 10 minutes so experiment and see what works best for you.

I see that for some reason, when taken during the day, it is not as efficient and often doesn not work as expected. This tea alone works very well, but if you drink plenty of water throughout the day (even when you don't have the tea) and add more fiber to your diet, besides working like a charm it will even help you become more regular on your own.

Take this tea if you are backed up and feel bloated, ou will feel reliefed and sleep much better after being cleansed by Smooth Move. It is a natural product but I recommend it for occasional use only as ingestion of senna over extended periods of time may be prejudicial.

I begin my day with one cup of smooth move tea-- everyday. If I forget I make sure that I take it before I go to bed at night. It taste good. My teenaged grandsons like it.

It depends on how blocked you are which will determine how it works. You may have to have two cups before it begins to work. However, make sure you do not have any place to go when you are trying it out for the first time. Believe me it will work. Some people it takes time others it works right away. I use it once a day and it keeps me regular. It dosn't run because I know how to use it. I have been doing this for some time--for four years. I steep it for one minute if I kept it in for more than 1-5 minutes I would not be able to go out because it would run. My friend steeps it for 1/2 a minute that way she is able to go out. Give it five days before you give up on it. So good luck to you all.

What do they add? Is it the marshmallow root? (There's no stevia.) This tea has a sickening sweetness all its own. If you accidentally bought it, like me, here's a tip: try adding lemon juice to your cup just so you can use up the box without throwing it away.

I have been drinking this tea for years and was surprised when I could not find it locally.The online price was actually cheaper than I was paying in the stores.

Traditional Medicinals Echinacea Plus is an herbal remedy in tea form designed to support the immune system. Echinacea is a Native American herb and is one of the most commonly used herbal medicines in the US and Europe. This tea delivers the immune boosting properties of organic Echinacea in a pleasant tasting blend of organic West Indian lemongrass leaf and organic spearmint. Echinacea Plus has a serene and subtle lemon-mint flavor that is exceptionally comforting for colds, and soothing to scratchy raw throats. Echinacea provides a slight tingle on the tongue due to the presence of alkylamides.

Traditional Medicinals recommends drinking 5-6 cups a days as soon as symptoms appear and then gradually reducing the dosage as symptoms improve.

Numerous clinical studies have examined the effects of Echinacea. Echinacea stimulates activity of cells that fight infection in our bodies and increases the number of these cells such as the white blood cells and lymphocytes. These immune cells attack bacteria, viruses and abnormal cells, including cancer. Echinacea has a positive effect on wound healing, lessens symptoms and speeds recovery from viruses.

Echinacea also has anti-inflammatory properites which aids recovery from psoriasis and eczema and may help arthritis. It also may increase resistance to candida, bronchitis and herpes and other infectious conditions. Echinacea should not be used continually for any longer than 5-8 weeks.

I already known that this product works great. The shipping was fast and I got what I ordered. Thanks.

I am currently on the hcg diet with a strict 500 calories a day. I have no bowl movement for 4 days, so i decide to try drinking this tea. I use 12 oz boiling water with one tea bag and drink it after 15 minutes before going to bed. After 9 hours, I have to go to the bathroom and feel relieved. This tea works. I will use it again and recommend to friends.

I never rate things on here but I had to make an exception for this tea. Usually any hot drink will alleviate some discomfort in a sore throat, but this throat coat tea goes above and beyond that. No matter if it's a sore throat from sinus drainage, a cold, or whatever else, this tea has always cleared up all the itchy, scratchy, and painful problems I've had for at least a couple of hours at a time. That's more than a lot of medicine is able to do.

I am giving this product five stars because it does what it's supposed to do. I used it during the Master Cleanse (let it steep for 15 minutes) and I had movements the next morning. It didn't keep me up at night or give me cramps.

The taste, however, is awful. Another reviewer mentioned that it's too sweet... not even close. To me it tastes like bitter cloves. Next time I will try the peppermint flavor.

I was recommended these for a sore throat and they worked out really well. But I don't think I would drink them for reasons other than a sore throat.
