This is my first time using this brand of tea tree oil and the fact it's from Australia gives me additional confidence in the product. I use it on my skin, diluted with fractionated coconut oil (never undiluted!), when I get a rash or other skin issue that I want dealt with away from steroid containing creams and that other over the counter drugstore creams and other potions don't help at all. I also use it (again diluted in fractionated coconut oil) as a deodorant when the crystal deodorant stick isn't handy. The tea tree oil is easy to mix with carrier oil then kept in a tiny pump action spray bottle (travel size for perfume for example) or in a 30ml glass bottle with an eye dropper for easy and controlled dispensing. You do need to do a patch test on a small area (cover it and check it 24 hours later) before applying it in large areas and may have to experiment with concentration levels (x number of drops of tea tree oil with 30mls of carrier oil for example) to see what does the job for you without causing any negative reaction along the way. There are many other applications for tea tree oil but I can only comment on how I use it so far although I am open to trying it in other ways in the future; it's a must have in your medicine cabinet whether you have kids or are an adults only household and the price for this is on par or better than other brands I've checked out online. Plus it's been around for 50 years so they know what they're doing I'd say. Highly recommended!

Individual results will of course vary from person to person and in my case I can't say whether or not these helped to alleviate or eliminate my (peri)menopausal symptoms because I also made adjustments to my diet and exercise habits around the same time I started taking these tablets. Also my symptoms tend to cycle thru where some are more predominant than others at different times so they have been on the waning part of that cycle during my evaluation period. You do have to take the tablets for at least 6 weeks to see results so that means buying two packages of 30 tablets; it would have made more sense to sell packs of 42 since that's the minimum you need. The tablets are small (smaller than a cooked lentil) and easy to swallow with no aftertaste. I took mine once a day with a meal because brain fog is a current issue and it's recommended that you take them at the same time each day.
While I didn't experience any earth shattering benefits from taking this I did not suffer any ill effects either. It may also matter where you are in your menopausal period (peri-, beginning, middle etc) how effective this is for you. If you don't want to go the pharmaceutical route for symptoms relief and have tried other OTC products without success these are worth trying but be sure to buy at least 42 tablets (two 30 packs currently) to give it a chance to have an effect in your body.

Perhaps it's a huge coincidence (I have my doubts it is) but shortly after starting to take these capsules, my weight went up steadily and never down (the opposite of prior patterns), overheating and both night and daytime sweats dialed up along with mood swings and other unfun symptoms. Could be that I'm in the minority with this experience but I was counting down to see how many more days I had to take these before I could be done with them and then see if any of the side effects reversed.
The capsules were easy to take with a large glass of water twice a day; they have the strengest smell to them, like brown sugar even though I couldn't find any ingredients that would explain it. It did help to distinguish them from other supplements out of their bottles that had similar colouring to them.
Maybe, hopefully others will have had a much better experience with this product but I cannot recommend it based on my own. For me it did the opposite of what it was supposed to do and it was an unpleasant time that could not pass and be done fast enough for me.

I received a sample of the product in exchange for an honest review and there were no instructions so a quick look on the product website was in order. Basically you need to cleanse and dry the area you're putting the patch before and after using them. That will help it adhere to the skin and stay there during the night to works its magic. Results will depend on the size and age of the zits so the sooner the better for using this in order to get rid of them faster, before they have a change to grow etc. They are nearly transparent so you might get away with wearing them in daytime hours. It's a good option to have for targeting isolated spots but I'll stick with using a liquid format with a cotton pad to cover a large patch of zits that are partying on my skin and aren't in any hurry to leave. -

Product doses come in foil-like pouches (20 per box), convenient for carrying in a pocket or purse if you're away from home. Consistency is like a thin syrup and goes down easy, coating along the way. Flavour is unusual but does not taste medicinal as other products do.
I suggest brushing your teeth if possible after a meal and prior to using EsoPh since you have a 'no food or drink for 30 minutes after using' requirement for product to work. Cost works out to be a dollar per doses in a box of twenty doses, which is a five day supply if you're following directions and taking it four times daily; if you're fasting, 20 doses will last far longer than that. Worth trying if you're not already taking a prescription for reflux. Effectiveness is bound to vary depending on the severity of your reflux

The sample I received was too small to evaluate the product's long term benefits however I found the sample's smell to be heavy and lingering, it feeling like cooking oil on the skin and not pleasant, could not wait to wash it away. checking the price of the product online shows me it's incredibly expensive and from my experience with it I see no justification to pay so much for it. to each their own. -

It has a pleasant smell and is easily applied to the skin but I can't fully evaluate the effectiveness of it long term with such a small sample of the product. I do hope that the full size product package has directions for use because the sample package I received stated to 'use only as directed' but didn't provide any directions on the packaging or paperwork that came with the sample. -

The taste is okay but nothing extraordinary. Price of the product is very high in stores so for those on a budget you'll only be buying this as a treat and not something to use on a daily basis. I'm glad I tried this product but won't buy any more of it and will stick to other spreads that are more affordable and more to my personal taste preference. -

I started buying this product a long time ago and it was delicious then, but in recent years the flavour has changed so it no longer tastes of coffee and chocolate. Now it just tastes like instant coffee. So if you want that you're better off sticking to plain instant coffee and if you want the mocha taste then add some hot chocolate mix to your coffee because it'll taste better and not cost you alot of money. -
