Kelly –
I have very bad Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and was looking for teas to alleviate the symptoms. After researching teas that can help with the bloating and spasms, I tried a sample of Mother-To-Be for the combination of chamomile, peppermint, and ginger. After drinking two cups of tea per day for two days, my IBS calmed down significantly. I will definitely be ordering more Mother-To-Be!
