Interesting article. My mother-in-law is currently using Essiac Tea as she does not want to operate on her cancer since she is already in her nineties. She was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago but seems to be doing well.
-
If you could get her some moringa that might help some?? Lots of health benefits.

Rosemary Gladstar states that Essiac is not a cure, but is a good support.

Great story!! It’s always worth trying something esp when it can’t hurt! I’ve heard of this tea, they also sell it at Clarksca natural grocery store near me... pretty expensive compared to other teas. Thx for sharing!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
-
Good article to reduce pain. Thank you.
-
It's all about giving our bodies the tools it needs to heal. Glad the Essiac is helping your mother-in-law @[email protected]

Thank you for sharing. I had heard of Essiac Tea but did not know any of its history.

You can always make your own essiac tea formula too:
To make tea blend -
1 1/2 lb. cut burdock root
1 lb. sheep sorrel
1/4 lb. powdered slippery elm bark
1 oz. powdered Turkish rhubarb root
Combine ingredients. Use 1 oz. of blend per quart of water. Bring water to a boil. Add herbs and boil for 15 minutes. Cover with a tight lid & steep at least 12 hours. Reheat but do not boil. Allow to settle, then strain out herbs. Store in fridge.
For general health: drink 1/2 oz. of tea in 2 oz. of water once daily (on an empty stomach at bedtime is ideal).
To fight disease: gradually increase to 1 oz of tea in 2 oz. water once daily.
@gennywu I have some notes I took, while studying Food as Medicine, concerning foods that kill cancer stem cells and foods that starve cancer cells. I'm attaching those notes, if you are interested. 🙂
