I am editing my original review (below) from two years ago, because I've been since diagnosed with endometriosis. It took years and multiple doctors to finally confirm thisâ€"I wanted to add this in case it helps someone else struggling with similar issues of short luteal phase, mid-cycle bleeding, fibroids, serious mid cycle pain, etc, that diagnosis might be something to look into if you haven't explored it yet. Diagnosis aside, I stand by my 5-star review of this tea. I continue to drink this (almost always as a Cold brew tea, just let it steep overnight) everyday, and it has GREATLY helped with my symptoms, especially mood swings and mid-cycle bleeding. I still take the Vitex but have dropped the DIM. Endometriosis, and indeed, anything hormonal, seems to me to be very different for every person..and what works or doesn't work is different, too. Unfortunately, I tried a lot of different things that didn't work or that only partly helped before finding this. If you struggle with some of these issues, I would give this tea a try. It tastes great and is a relaxing herbal tea at any rate, so you have very little to lose! It has helped me a great deal. Best of luck!

I love this product. Buying loose leaf in bulk is so much more economical and better tasting than buying the pre-bagged version of RRL, and this is a great organic option. You get a lot - the bag filled my gallon glass storage jar to the brim. The taste is great, and I re-brew the leaves 2-3 times with no real loss in flavor. I started using RRL to address a short luteal phase -- spotting from day 22 and a full period from day 24 was typical for me. Daily use of RRL tea (hot or Cold, depending on my mood that day) has helped from the very first cycle. Although I had been taking Vitex and DIM daily as well, RRL is what specifically addressed that too-short luteal phase. Highly recommended
