Peony tincture - reviews
Galina:
Due to the fact that work is associated with stress, my health has significantly deteriorated. A friend advised me to take a peony tincture and gave me the indications for use, as well as reviews from those who used such a remedy. I decided to try it, and after two weeks I noticed that I was falling asleep faster and more calmly, my condition improved significantly. In addition, the stool returned to normal, the legs began to swell less, and the weight decreased by 1 kg.
Lena:
I began to take peony tincture, because my nerves were already "giving up": I could burst into tears from the very morning, as they say, out of the blue ... I did it on my own and decided to drink until the finished tincture was enough. It turned out a month and a half. Surprisingly, I not only became calmer, but also my digestion returned to normal, I lost one and a half kilograms.
Katerina:
With two weather children and an eternally busy husband, I felt like a squirrel in a wheel. I read on the forum that peony tincture helps to calm down, and immediately bought it, since the price in the pharmacy is ridiculous. After a couple of weeks, I realized that I became calmer, my sleep improved, my arms and legs swell less. And a month later I discovered that the scales also showed -3 kg!
Veronica:
I only take peony tincture for three weeks. My doctor advised, said that I would calm my nerves a little, and this drug would gently debug digestion. To be honest, I did not believe in her words that maybe I would lose a little weight, but today the scales are -1.7 kg, so now I know: the tincture works!
Karina:
My mother was still taking the peony tincture, and I decided to try it too when I noticed that my eyes were constantly “in a wet place”. The drug really soothes well, while practically has no side effects (or I simply did not notice them). What is also very pleasing is the cheap price of such a tincture. By the way, after a course of taking (a month, every day twice 20 drops), two kilograms of weight were "missing". Most likely, they "went away" with edema.
