Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | i love my package from the online store & a few tips i've found using the products

hi everyone,

i just got in my box of goodies from heather's online store and thoroughly impressed! the peppermint caps are fantastic and about half the price of what i find in my local health food stores. it's also great they contain the other beneficial supplements of ginger and fennel...one less thing i have to worry about taking.

the teas are also fantastic at an even better bargain, especially since they are organic, which is important to me. i've been making the peppermint tea by the gallon. i like to drink it cold, so i keep it in the fridge, but for those who like it warm can easily nuke it. brewing is easy when you put the tea in a coffee filter, fold and staple it like it was a giant tea bag and put it in the coffee pot. i'm pretty sure you can put the tea directly into the coffee pot and strain it before you put it into a container. i'm pretty sure this is a good way to make it, as i've done this with tea for a while. the water doesn't actually boil so it won't break down the good stuff in the herbs. if i'm wrong, please correct me. but the tea is great.

the product i'm most satisfied with is the microwaveable hot packs. i keep 2 in the freezer and 1 on my kitchen shelf (though i'm usually using one). i know most people like hot on their tummy, but i like cold. i'm sure it's because texas is already hot as hell. any way, much better than ice packs that inevitably leak or get messy

what i did is cut the sheet into 2 x 4 squares (like 3 little rectangles per sheet), roll them up in a ball and place them in the freezer. when they freeze they retain a curved shape which fits your abdomen...custom fit comfort. when i had a migraine a few days ago it worked well on my head. i tried out the warm option of the packs when i started female cramps yesterday (the time i do like the heat) and boy it was nice! much better than a heating pad, doesn't use electricity, and most importantly, won't burn down my house

these things will definitely come in handy on my commutes to class or in the bad houston traffic.

thanks so much heather for offering these items online. i'm so happy you have made them available and, in my case, incredibly cheaper than my local health food stores. i'm looking forward to any new additions. to those of you who are thinking about placing an order DO IT!!! you'll feel so much better
