5 out of 5 stars

Over the summer I started drinking turmeric with ACV, BSM, and cayenne pepper for general health that all three indicated. I noticed that within a month my extreme PMS had completely subsided, so much so that my cycle arrived as a surprise, without me having the nervous breakdown that had usually accompanied my periods for the past decade or so. 4 months later I'm still symptom free and went to the doctor to get a blood test to make sure everything was alright. Turns out my hormones are balanced for the first time in my life! The only change I made to my diet was my daily turmeric tea, which as it turns out, has been used by women in India to balance hormones... The doctor said my levels normalized so much that I should have little to no symptoms of PCOS. I have tried everything - every natural remedy I could think of - but have not had the success of plain ol' turmeric.

Just a few questions... Did you take all together, how many times a day and what amounts? Thank you!

Hi Kathy -
Yes, I had a morning tea of hot water, 1 heaping tsp of turmeric, 1 tbsp on black strap molasses or honey, 2 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Honey makes it more palatable than BSM, but the BSM has iron, magnesium, and calcium - all which are good for PMS and PCOS. I drank it twice a day, or sipped it throughout the day. I stopped for a few months and noticed that the symptoms returned - depression, PMS, etc, - so I just started back once a day. Hope that's helpful! Really, it's the only thing that normalized my hormones!
