ESSIAC
TEA
Essiac tea has been used for many decades as a cure for a wide range
of illnesses and diseases. The FDA hasn't proven Essiac to have a
beneficial effect as an herbal blend. However, the FDA has confirmed
the eight individual essiac herbs do indeed have beneficial
properties. Whether essiac tea is a cure or not according to the FDA
isn't the important point. The important consideration is whether
essiac tea helps a person fight an illness on a case by case basis.
It may not help everybody, but it might help you or me on an
individual basis.
The illnesses, diseases and conditions for which essiac tea has been
used by people throughout the world are more than I can list. Some
of the more common ailments are AIDS and HIV, diarrhea,
constipation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, internal and
external cancers, benign and malignant tumor growth, chronic pain,
diabetes, arthritis, kidney and bladder problems, ulcers, liver
conditions, colon complications, sinus issues, gout, pneumonia and
common chest colds. People use essiac for different reasons. Some
are looking for a cure for conditions such as cancer. Others are
looking to strengthen their immune system as a preventative measure.
Essiac can be used in a variety of ways.
The product we sell is the eight herb essiac blend. Eight years of
research by Rene Caisse (Essiac spelled backwards) found this eight
herb essiac formula to be superior in effectiveness to the four herb
essiac formula. We know our essiac is the most effective formula on
the market.
The eight herb essiac blend we sell is fresh, 100% natural, no
additives or preservatives, and not refined. The herb has not been
altered in any way. We believe to acquire the best results possible
from essiac tea it has to be in its truest natural form. That's what
you get from us.

The Method of Taking Essiac is of Personal Preference.
Taking essiac. Let me start by saying, "Bitter is Better". It's a
motto we live by. Yes, this essiac is somewhat bitter because of the
four additional herbs we've added, such as watercress and blessed
thistle. Unfortunately, the bitterness prevents some people from
taking essiac. So, we have suggestions for making the essiac
experience as pleasant as possible. You shouldn't have to miss out
on the benefits of our essiac because of dislike for the taste.
Why is this essiac bitter?
Dr Charles Brusch spent many years in cooperation with Rene Caisse,
R.N., searching for the most effective essiac formula. The formula
we advertise at this site is the last formula Dr Brusch and Rene
Caisse worked together to perfect. Dr Brusch and Rene Caisse
incorporated four additional herbs into the original essiac formula.
These four additional herbs include blessed thistle, sea kelp, red
clover, and watercress. With the incorporation of the four
additional herbs came the bitterness associated with blessed thistle
and watercress. Dr Brusch and Rene Caisse found the benefits of the
watercress and blessed thistle far outweighed the bitterness of this
formula.
The bitterness of essiac is only partly due to the watercress and
blessed thistle. The freshness of the herb contributes to the
bitterness. Fresher herbs have more bitterness. Fresher herbs are
more effective. This is where our motto, "Bitter is Better",
originated.
One final aspect of this essiac formula which makes it more
effective and thus have more bitterness is the fact we grind all the
herbs together. Some companies avoid grinding certain portions of
the herbs. Instead, they include the twig or stick form in the
recipe. So, the twig or stick is boiled. The effectiveness of the
stick/twig formula falls short of the totally ground essiac herb
formula. Much of the nutrients and healing properties aren't
released from the stick/twig form. Plus, to acquire the most effect
from essiac, the herbs must be consumed with the liquid. It's hard
to drink a stick.
General Information About Essiac Tea.
What are the benefits of using essiac?
Essiac tea's primary actions are to cleanse the body of
impurities, restore energy levels, remove heavy metals and rebuild
the immune system. These actions help restore the body to a level
where it is able to use its own resources to defeat an illness. In
other words, essiac rebuilds the immune system and improves the
illness-defeating ability of the body so that the body can rid
itself of the illness.
Is essiac able to cure cancer or other serious illnesses?
We cannot legally claim essiac is a cancer cure or a cure for any
other disease. However, due to the beneficial properties of essiac
tea listed above, many people who take essiac report a stronger
immune system and increased health and well-being. With all of these
positive improvements essiac tea causes in the body, the body
becomes much better equipped to rid itself of disease. (Essiac is
not a drug and is therefore not able to be FDA approved as a proven
treatment).
Am I able to take essiac while receiving chemotherapy and/or
radiation therapy?
Yes. Essiac has a tendency to improve a person's quality of life
while receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation. However, chemotherapy
and radiation therapy can destroy the chemicals and compounds of
essiac tea diminishing the effects of essiac tea. To accommodate for
this decrease in effective of the essiac, we recommend consuming the
aggressive PLUS dose of 6 oz. of tea three times per day, rather
than the regular aggressive dose of 3 oz. of tea three times per
day. From our experience and experimentation, we've found that
people on chemotherapy and radiation therapy tend to have best
results taking 6 oz. three times per day. However, some have
remained on 3 oz. three times per day and also had good results.
Personally, if we had a loved one taking chemotherapy and/or
radiation therapy, we would recommend 6 oz. three times per day to
be on the safe side.
Am I able to take essiac with other types of treatments?
Yes, essiac is able to be taken with all types of treatments,
alternative and traditional. Essiac will work in a complementary
fashion with other types of treatments compounding the positive
health effects. You are advised to consult with your practitioner.
If you are concerned, ease into your essiac tea usage gradually,
taking 1/2 or 1/3 of the full dose at first.
When will I notice the benefits of taking essiac?
This varies from individual to individual. Some people notice an
increased sense of health, well-being and energy just days after
starting essiac tea. It takes others weeks or even months to notice
a tangible benefit. But, for most people, an improvement in general
health and well-being is experienced after one to two weeks if
taking essiac tea regularly. Follow our essiac dosage
recommendations for at least 5 months if you have cancerous tumors.
What diseases/medical conditions are treated with essiac?
Cancerous tumors, diabetes, leukemia, liver problems, high blood
pressure, kidney ailments, high cholesterol, chronic pain, chronic
fatigue, and hepatitis C are some of the more common
diseases/medicals conditions treated with essiac.
Are there any side effects from using essiac?
The only side effects we've experienced are nausea and diarrhea.
These side effects occur during the first few days of taking the
aggressive dose of essiac. The nausea and diarrhea are usually quite
mild. These side effects are a result of the essiac detoxifying the
body, which is a good thing. If you have trouble tolerating these
side effects then ease into the aggressive dosage by taking 1/2 to
1/3 of the recommended dose. Always consult with your medical
practitioner if you have any health concerns.
ESSIAC HERBS AND ESSIAC FORMULA
Which herbs are found in eight herb essiac?
The eight herb formula we distribute is comprised of blessed
thistle, burdock root, kelp, red clover, sheep sorrel, slippery elm
bark, Turkey rhubarb root, and watercress. These individual herbs
each have beneficial properties for healing the human body. Once
they are combined together in a specific ratio the individual
properties of each herb are enhanced by the other herbs in a
synergistic manner.
Why should I choose the eight herb essiac formula over the four
herb formula?
There are a several reasons for choosing the eight herb formula
instead of the four herb formula. One reason is watercress. An
important property of watercress is its cleansing ability.
Watercress removes a residual component of sheep sorrel break down
called oxalic acid. Oxalic acid will form stones (Kidney stones,
etc) within the body. Without watercress, stone formation can happen
in individuals who are susceptible. The four herb formula doesn't
have watercress but does have sheep sorrel. Secondly, red clover and
blessed thistle both have proven anti-cancer properties. These herbs
give the eight herb formula a cancer fighting advantage over the
four herb formula. Thirdly, kelp is full of vitamins, minerals and
other nutrients. Kelp is a strong immune system booster. Kelp is
found only in the eight herb formula. Fourthly, four herb essiac was
designed to have one of the herbs injected. If you are taking essiac
as a tea and not injecting one of the herbs, it won't be as
effective. Finally, while four herb essiac is targeted for liver
detoxification, eight herb essiac results in liver and colon
detoxification for a more complete detoxification. To read more

How is the taste of the eight herb essiac formula?
Eight herb essiac has a "earthy" and somewhat bitter taste. The
bitterness is due to the watercress. Most people become accustomed
to the taste after a two week period. For those who never get
accustomed to the taste, we recommend an orange juice chaser. Drink
a small portion of orange juice immediately after consuming the
essiac tea. The orange juice will help to counteract the taste of
the essiac tea. Essiac tea is not meant to be sipped or savored. It
should be taken in the same manner as a cough syrup or other
medicinal liquid.
Should essiac tea be taken cold, hot or at room temperature?
We recommend taking the essiac tea cold. Test results showed that
tea taken cold was the most effective. The tea should be taken
immediately after pouring your serving from the container in the
refrigerator.
Should essiac tea
be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
We recommend taking essiac tea on an empty stomach. Take essiac tea
one hour before eating a meal or two hours after eating a meal.
Liquids won't interfere with essiac being absorbed into the blood
stream through the digestive system, so orange juice, water, etc may
be consumed shortly after taking essiac, but please avoid solid
foods.
Are the herbs organically grown?
Yes, all the herbs in the eight herb essiac formula are organically
grown. They are certified organic.
Have these herbs been irradiated? Are there any pesticides or
chemicals used on these herbs?
Our herb have not been irradiated. Also, our herbs are
pesticide-free and chemical-free.
The Process of Brewing Essiac at Home Ensures a Quality Product.
Brewing essiac isn't complicated and it shouldn't be a mystery. Many
times what you see is not what you get with a pre-brewed essiac
product. You don't know if preservatives have been added, if the
product is still fresh, or if the brewing process was performed
properly. Brewing essiac with fresh essiac herbs delivered straight
to your door is the best way to ensure high quality, optimum
freshness, and a properly processed essiac tea. For essiac to work
properly it must be fresh (14 days or less old), contain no
additives, and brewed to strict standards. We give you every last
detail of how to properly brew your essiac tea at home making the
process easy and straight forward. We take the mystery out of
brewing essiac.
The process of brewing essiac is actually quite simple. It's
made even easier if the essiac herbs purchased are in pre-weighed 1
oz. (28.25 gram) or 4 oz. (113 gram) packets. Just add
spring/distilled water and boil. No measuring of essiac herbs
required when brewing essiac in this manner. Below is a chart
indicating the proper measures of essiac herb and spring/distilled
water required for the aggressive dosage regimen, maintenance dosage
regimen, and pet dosage regimen. For an explanation of each of the
dosage regimens and how the process of brewing essiac correlate,
click on the appropriate link that follows. Aggressive dosage
regimen and brewing essiac. Maintenance dosage regimen and brewing
essiac. Pet dosage regimen and essiac brewing.
Weighing of the essiac herbs will need to be done if the 1 oz.
(28.25 gram) or 4 oz. (113 gram) packets of essiac herbs are not
used in brewing essiac. A simple inexpensive kitchen scale will
suffice for the weight measures required for herb amount other than
the 1 oz. or 4 oz. packets.

The (*) above indicates the amount of additional spring/distilled
water necessary to account for the evaporation process while brewing
essiac. In the top row of the table above, 4 ounces (113 grams) of
essiac herb is added to 136 ounces/4.02 L (128 oz plus 8 oz) of
spring/distilled water. When the process of brewing essiac is
complete there will be 128 ounces (1 gallon/3.8 Liters) remaining.
Instructions for Brewing Essiac; 10 to 14 Day Supply.
1. Bring chosen amount of spring or distilled water to boil.
2. Add appropriate amount of essiac herbs to the boiling spring or
distilled water.
3. After the herbs have been added to the spring or distilled water,
reduce to a simmer. Let tea simmer for ten minutes, stirring
occasionally. Keep a slightly ajar cover on the pan to reduce
evaporation.
4. Turn off the heat. Completely cover the pan. Sit the tea off to
the side for twelve hours at room temperature.
5. After twelve hours or more, stir the tea vigorously to disperse
the remnants of the herbs throughout the mixture. DO NOT strain the
herb particles from the tea. (The herbs are in powder form so they
are able to be taken as you drink the tea, plus the herbs particles
increase the effectiveness of the tea).
6. Funnel the tea into a clean standard plastic water container. It
can be a glass container. Either type of container will work but it
must have a lid. (It DOES NOT need to be an amber bottle since the
tea will be in the refrigerator where light doesn't exist).
7. Place the container in the refrigerator. Do not store the essiac
tea in the refrigerator for more than 14 days. The tea loses it
effectiveness over time and the potential for spoiling increases
after 14 days. So on day 13, the process of brewing essiac should
begin again.
Shake the tea container well before serving. The herb particles must
be dispersed throughout the tea mixture. Essiac tea may be mixed
with fruit or vegetable juice if the bitter taste makes it
necessary. It's best to consume the essiac tea straight. Most people
drink it cold but the temperature doesn't really matter.
Essiac should be taken on an empty stomach. Avoid eating 2 hours
before and one hour after administering essiac.
Essiac Herb Storage
Essiac herbs must be stored in the dark until the time of
brewing essiac. If in an airtight container, such as a polybag or
bottle with a lid, the herbs will stay fresh for up to a year.
Additionally, the essiac herbs must not be placed in the
refrigerator. Brewing essiac will be a snap once you've done it once
or twice. Practice makes perfect. Plus, the chart above isn't etched
in stone. Brewing essiac allows for adjustments in the recipe. Add a
little extra herb for a stronger mixture or dilute it out with
additional spring water. It all depends on the results desired and
the condition you're treating.
