Default Woman's Precious

Ok, I have some Woman's Precious, and I'm ready to start taking it. It's just that the directions are a bit vague. It says to take 8-10 pills 3 times a day. Yes, that sounds like a lot to me too, but they are "tea pills". Does anyone know...am I supposed to just take them orally like any other pill, or am I supposed to disolve them and drink them? I'm not quite sure what "tea pill" means, other than they appear much smaller than normal pills.

Crista,
From what understand, tea pills are just tea dried and compacted. I am not sure why they make them so small. I had a friend who took some once, and she was told to take them orally with a glass of warm water. I would go for it. It will probably go down much smoother if you swallow then if you turn them back into tea.
Good luck,
Robin

Is this like a Traditional Chinese Medicine pill? I've never heard of it, but I do take various pills when prescribed by my Chinese doc. They are small round pills and I usually take 8 pills 3 times a day. I just swallow the pills with a glass of water. The main reason I'm taking the ones I have now is that the tea made up with dried herbs was way too bitter, so these are a replacement.

Thanks, Ladies! It looks like I may not even have to take it after all. I think I'm actually ovulating. How accurate are those ovulation test kits anyway?
