This was my first order and while it is subtle, I am starting to see my son willingly use his words more. Calmer and less tantrums. His reports from school is much better too.

Thank you Isra, keep us updated on your journey!
After a month of trying the products, I decided to leave a review from the bottom of my heart, which I hope many other women who have reached the same level of desperation as I did will see.
I am a woman, currently 29 years old, and I have been dealing with very large ovarian cysts and endometriosis since I was 14. At 23, I had my first surgery to remove the cysts, which left my ovaries only half their original size. After my second surgery, I was also left with only one fallopian tube. Each time, the cysts came back. I am trying to avoid surgery as much as I possibly can.
Now, at 29, the hormonal changes in my body had completely exhausted me: headaches, leg pain, back pain, weakness, swelling, weight gain, stress, depression, menstrual bleeding that would last for 2–3 months at a time, and so on.
When I purchased this kit, I thought, “Another product, more money thrown away…” But no! To my surprise, the bleeding stopped from the second day of taking the products.
During the first four days, I experienced unbearable headaches, dizziness, and extreme weakness, which I couldn't explain. However, I continued because, as far as I know, when you take moringa, the first signs that everything is moving in the right direction are that, at first, it may seem as though everything is getting worse. But as you continue the treatment, these negative effects disappear and the desired results appear.
And that is exactly what happened. After the first week, I felt like a completely different person. I started waking up easily in the morning, without swollen hands and feet. Then the bloating disappeared, I no longer had any pain at all, and my cysts stopped causing me problems.
If I used to have to remove the hair from my legs every single day, now I only do it once every five days because, yes, my hair has started growing extremely, extremely slowly. This means that the products are genuinely affecting my hormones in an effective way.
I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED!
I will continue the treatment for six months, and then I will come back with another review.
I am deeply grateful to the people responsible for this online store, the consultants, and the founder.
For me, it works. You have even saved my marriage!
Store owner replied:

I have been consistent in giving these supplements to my child and I have been seeing improvement
I love the seamoss it’s an amazing supplement.. I lost weight I couldn’t lose no matter what i done & the seamoss helped me lose weight & keeps me healthy so many benefits.. you only need a table spoon a day I would definitely recommend & magic tree are amazing to deal with. I would give 10 stars if I could there worth it
I am having all the ingredients that I bought as a tea every night since I have received the order. Very nice flavour and could feel all the herbs are natural. Feel less bloated after.
The shipment arrived on time and in very neat condition. I have been using it around a month, especially for my daughter’s stemming. Her stemming didn’t decrease yet ( too soon probably)but she used to be very picky and she eats things that used to make her gag!
I was scared my picky eater wouldn’t take the herbs specifically the spirulina, but the taste is very mild and she takes it very well dissolved in water.
Feel so much better, clarity of mind and less sugar cravings than ever. Shilajit,lions mane, brahmi, ashwaganda powder and a teaspoon of local honey I my coffee every morning.
You gotta try this folks, tastes unreal and totally focused for the day.
I can't speak highly enough of your products.
I also use the black seed oil,oil of oregano, spirulina and milk thistle seeds. Still to try a few things. Looking forward to it.
Only two months since but I feel some relief already from bloating and tiredness. Still early days but hoping to get my desired results. It’s worth giving this a try 💕🪴🍃
My 3 yr old daughter is saying more words and understanding some few instructions. It’s only been a month, I’m hopeful more improvement will take place. Thank you honestly
Taking the Lion's Mane is part of my daily routine, including my 7 year old. My work is mainly computer based and there has been improvements in my focus
Store owner replied:
Lions mane for the win when it comes to focus! How wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing
I bought the Autism / ADHD bundle for my 8yr old son.
I have been adding the powders to his smoothies for 4 weeks now.
Family, friends and school staff have commented on improvements in his behaviour. For example, he was noticeably calm on an evening out, despite a change to his usual routine. Usually, he would be extremely energetic and pace up and down. Also, he is less dysregulated at school and is showing more interest in activities such as bike riding.
Though his speech is still developing, he is consistently using single words to communicate his needs - with and without his visual aids.
He is still stimming and sleep can be an issue.
Nevertheless, I will purchase another bundle.
Store owner replied:
Wow! What a picture! These look incredible - thank you so much for sharing and an honourable mention to you for the hard work you are putting in, it is wonderful to see. Please keep us updated on his progress!
I stopped buying noccos and celcius drinks 🙌🏾. My new energy boost is this shilajit, you have to consistently take it for benefits, I used have this before but from a different company and this one tastes much better, pure and proper. Thank you
I must say I'm definitely enjoying my Magic Tree Black Seed Oil,
I am subscribed therefore receiving a regular supply of products that just keeps my energy level up and overall wellbeing. Thanks to Magic Trees support , I feel absolutely fantastic within myself.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Carlton Fitzpatrick.
Absolutely amazing product ,it has really helped me with my hormonal symptoms since taking it.I really love it I have been taking it for about 7 months now xx
I love my sea moss gel. After washing it, I soak it overnight with half a lemon. Next day I blitz it up with to some of the lemon juice and pour into a glass storage. I take a tablespoon everyday with my collagen shake. I’ve noticed my skin looks the best it’s ever been and my hair is in better condition.
My son is 7 and his speech has improved since I started giving him these herbs. Amazing outcome. Would be helpful to have a visible prep instruction for the Lion's Mane product
