Sainthood Herbs Review

So, we are finally into the season of fall! Today, my children went outside to rake their very first leaf pile and it was SO much fun. The air had a crisp chill to it and the leaves were yellow, orange and brown. I loved watching my little people rake up the leaves...this is probably my favorite time of the year! Fall is also a fun time of year because it means that the holidays are right around the corner; Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year...oh, it is so exciting to be getting into that time of year once again! One thing that comes with the holidays that no one seems to appreciate is all the stress and busyness. I know for a fact that trying to "get it all done" wears me out and it really seems to take a toll on me because we are homeschooling and fitting everything in gets challenging. Stress is not fun...no matter what time of year we are in and so I take all the stress relief I can find!

I was recently introduced to a company called Sainthood Herbs and they carry products that are natural, healthy, safe, non-GMO, sustainable, and eco-friendly! Because we are getting ready to hit the holiday season, it seemed like the perfect time to review one of Sainthood Herbs' supplements called Stress & Sleep. Before I get into that review though, here is a bit more about Sainthood Herbs...

Sainthood Herbs means trust you can count on. From the beginning, our goal has been to build a line of effective herbal supplements that far exceeds your expectations. 

• When we choose an ingredient, we look at both how and where the ingredient was made, and how it will impact your overall health.
• Our goal is to choose wild-crafted herbs as nature intended them to be.
• We look for ingredients that have clinical studies behind them, with proven results that will help you maintain proper nutrition.
• When we can find powerful, organic ingredients – (olive, for instance, which is used in one of our formulas) – we’ll incorporate them into our formulas.
• Our primary focus is to achieve the best results from everything we produce and increase our knowledge about each and every ingredient we use. For instance, did you know that if ginseng is under six years old, it is not ready for medicinal use?

We would never create anything we wouldn't take ourselves. We provide you with the purest, and most healthy ingredients to put into your body on a daily basis.

I was very interested in the Stress & Sleep because around here, sleep can ellude me most nights. I am VERY tired at the end of the day but I have a difficult time turning my brain off. It is so easy for my hubby but I truly struggle with relaxing and settling in for the night - sometimes it takes me over 2 hours to actually fall asleep. :(

So, for this review I was sent a full sized bottle of Sainthood Herbs Stress & Sleep, which retails for $28.95/90 capsule bottle. This product contains all natural ingredients that are combined to induce relaxation and help with the occasional sleep difficulties. Here is a snapshot of the supplement facts...

I LOVE Lemon Balm...it is such a soothing herb and I have really found that it does relax me quite a bit, which is nice...especially on those nights that I have such difficulty calming down.

The pills themselves are pretty standard in size...I don't find them hard to swallow as they are the same size as my other vitamins that I take on a regular basis. So, to take these all you need to is take three pills per day with a meal. That is it! Nothing really complicated here and sleep and relaxation could not be any easier.

So, I am loving Stress & Sleep! The capsules are super easy to swallow and I am definitely sleeping good these days! The ingredients are wonderful and are all great for helping me to relax and seem to do a pretty decent job of helping me get to sleep quicker. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking to get those needed "zzzzzzzzzzz's" this holiday season...trust me, we all can use all the help we can get! :)

Also, From now until September 30th, you can get 30% off all of Sainthood Herbs products by entering the code MEDIAPROMO. This code has been set up especially for my readers here at Mommy's Reviews. :) Enjoy!

Gentle and Effective Digestive Support with Dicon

Thanks to my dad's genetics, I deal with Irritable Bowels. Not to be too personal, I used to suffer from constipation all the time. I remember the pain associated with it and the relief when it finally was over. It is truly an awful health concern that alot of people suffer with today and I have always been on the look out for new remedies for constipation and upset tummies. My babies also suffer from bowel issues and if it is painful for me, what must it feel like to them? I feel so badly when my children are unwell...I also look for remedies for them too.

I wanted to take this post to tell you about a new product I have had the privilege of trying and it is wonderful! Dicon is an herbal supplement that uses Combination Herbal Therapy (CHT) to treat and relieve common stomach and digestive disorders. It is said that it is most effective when taken daily so that it will help to prevent recurring digestive upsets. I am a person who typically does not get stomach aches or ailments, but I do get constipation  which this is also good for treating. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Dicon and how it works...

Dicon is a digestive regulatory supplement that targets and provides relief for episodic stomach upsets, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating and other common gastrointestinal (GI) discomforts.

Dicon’s unique Combination Herbal Therapy (CHT) exact serves to recalibrate the body’s digestive system and has been shown to alleviate symptoms of all episodic stomach complaints. Dicon recalibrates the body’s functions and balances the digestive system. This will help to prevent future stomach upsets and discomforts. In a follow-up survey of subjects who had taken Dicon, continued relief and improvement was reported even after the use of dicon was stopped. While this is an encouraging benefit, daily doses of dicon are recommended for continued and sustained benefit. dicon helps to prevent the recurrence of digestive upsets leaving you more time to enjoy life.

Having never heard of Dicon before, I was anxious to try it but wasn't looking forward to the symptoms that would cause me to take it. Last Wednesday night though, I needed it badly.

So, for this review, I was sent a box of Dicon to try and test out. I wasn't sure how it would work for me because I was unsure of what problem I would have to address with it. Many of you already know that I am a huge fan of taking natural supplements and so it was really nice to know I had this on hand for when I needed it.

These capsules are pretty normal in size when it comes to a capsule. I was really surprised when I read the ingredient list... Artemisia (a plant from the Daisy family) herba-alba Asso aerial parts, Lemon Balm extract aerial parts, Spearmint extract aerial parts and Lemon Verbane extract aerial parts.

I love how this supplement contains lemon and spearmint...these are fantastic herbs with calming properties. Many times, I will drink tea with these ingredients and it helps soothe an upset stomach. Another key bit of information that I discovered when I researched Dicon online was that I can take it while breast feeding my son. I found that not only did it help me with bowel movements, but it also helped my son immensely with his bowel movements too. He has a horrible time with constipation and this actually gave him a big blown-out diaper...the first in a VERY long time. Poor guy...I was so relieved when he filled his diaper!!

So, during church on Wednesday night I began to experience some stomach cramping. It was intermittent but very bothersome and uncomfortable. The whole way home from church, I wondered what was going on and how I managed to get a stomach ache. It didn't feel like constipation, more like bloating and gas. But I had NO idea what had caused it or if that was what it really was. So, I decided to give Dicon a try. It is recommended that you take Dicon with food and so that is what I did. I'm telling you...within 1/2 hour of taking Dicon I felt totally normal again. No lie. It was amazing! No more cramping or discomfort. I fell asleep and slept wonderfully. The next day, I had (not to be gross or anything) wonderful bowel movements but it wasn't diarrhea. THAT was really nice. I am still not sure what triggered my stomach upset but boy was I thankful for the Dicon! It truly worked wonderfully for me and I am going to definitely keep this handy for future bouts of gas and tummy trouble.

Dicon retails for $30 for one box of 30 tablets...which would last you one month if taken daily. I don't think this price is bad at all if you suffer from IBS or other problematic digestive issues.

So, in my opinion...Dicon worked wonderfully for me! I haven't really experienced relief from gas that quickly before. I also love how natural this supplement is and the fact that I was able to take it while breastfeeding was very helpful to both me and my 10 month old. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It is FANTASTIC!!!
