I wish I could give this 6 stars! I've liked Yogi products for awhile, but when it comes to something soothing chronic pain I can't tell you how much of a relief one has-- as well as sheer love for what helps you feel better!

I've had some injuries and some chronic problems that are always lurking, waiting to flare up to uncomfortable proportions. Mostly I just try to "go on with life"  but I've done exercises, ice/heat therapy, massage, OTC painkillers and at one brief point when I slipped a disc-- one round of muscle relaxers. But honestly I don't wanna be on pills. They make me feel funny and I don't like that quality in anything but my occasional beer or wine. I certainly don't like having to feel weird just to get on with my day.

Enter this tea. I knew I liked Yogi teas, but I had tried this before - a couple bags at a time brewed cup by cup - with little effect. Here is the important part: Joint Comfort REALLY hit the mark when I combined it with the random purchase of a cute little tea set at my local grocer. I had wanted a new tea mug, saw a cute one and realized it was part of a set. I didn't need a tea set but I really liked the mug so I just went for it. So, starting that evening I began to make my tea in a slightly new way, compared with my past "cup by cup" brewing and consumption.

1. I heat the water in an electric kettle. It is FAST and precise, which can be important especially for more delicate teas (particularly ones with actual tea which can easily go bitter with too hot a water or long a steep).

2. I add two or three packets of tea and pour the water into my cute little tea pot and take that and a mug to whatever room I am settling down to do my business.

3. I let the tea steep in the pot for awhile. Honestly, with any of the Yogi blends that don't have TEA in them, I just let it steep until I am done with the last sip. The herbal blends I have tried (and I've tried A LOT of them) rarely go bitter. Rather the long steep lends powerful flavor and I figure more of the product gets into my tea. :-)

4. Once steeped, I enjoy about three mugs of tea.

5. Repeat throughout the day as needed, usually 1-3 pots a day, changing or mixing up tea varieties as needed and enjoy!

After going through the above process for a few days, with THIS Yogi tea specifically, I didn't have any notable pain in any of my normal places. It's funny though-- I didn't notice this until two days after I had briefly moved on to drinking some other tea. I had been having some seasonal respiratory issues and moved on to a combo of solely Throat Coat and Breathe Deep. Of course they worked great for my sinuses and such but... suddenly I felt all achy and realized that with the week I had been drinking 3-6 cups of Joint Comfort a day, my joints really HAD improved! Funny how sometimes you get used to chronic pain, huh?

So, it was hindsight that made me realize how effective this tea really was for me, and that the method of really making an effort to consume it regularly (and somewhat abundantly) was worth it. I have since gone back to drinking Joint Comfort and the pain relief support has returned.

I can't be sure Joint Comfort will help you, but if the tea sits well with you TRY consuming 2-4 bags worth of it a day and see how you feel after a week or so. Best of luck and hope you feel relief with this tea! :-)

Side note: Thought I would add-- this tea is mildly flavored compared to some other Yogi teas. Maybe lightly minty herbal? I've found it blends well with an extra bag of mintier tea (like Breathe Deep) or licorice tea (like Throat Coat) for more flavor and medicinal effects. ALSO-- if you like this stuff, and it helps you, just get the 6 pack of boxes on Subscribe and Save. The price savings is fantastic that way, and I have a number of Yogi teas on S&S this way since they are such a comfort and the price can't be beat. :D
