Perfect gift for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
These little candies pack a powerful punch. They have helped my Mom tremendously through her battle with head and neck cancer. She undergoes daily radiation and weekly chemo and her saliva glands are so dry they have helped with that and nausea. I love the quality ingredients and no artificial sweetener. Trusted brand and a customer service team that has a huge heart helping those in need. Lifetime customer!!

Thank you for your support and encouragement — it inspires us every day. — Tracy & Dean, Essential Candy 🌿🍬

They really work!!!
Fantastic products that really work!!! The effectiveness was NOT from the power of suggestion. It had been very difficult for me to both lower my cortisol level from anxiety and to fall asleep as well. I have tried so many suggestions that failed. The family joke was only knocking me out with tape on my mouth was the solution.I was given a sample of the calming candy at a holiday craft show. I was so shocked it worked that that I returned the next day and purchased another ticket just so I was able to visit the booth to buy more. I couldn’t believe hard candies could make a difference for me! I was an experienced educated skeptic until the calming candy slowed my breathe when my body was racing.Then the sleep candy had helped me fall asleep and fall into deeper sleep state. Now I always keep several of the calming candies in my handbag and the sleep candy in my nightstand. The delicious satisfying taste and slow dissolving formulation were bonuses!!!
