What are the Benefits of Essiac Tea?

The list of essiac tea benefits is long, but there are two main functions that make it very beneficial for health.

• Detoxification

Essiac tea helps release toxins that build up in fat and tissues into the blood stream where they can be filtered and excreted by the liver and kidneys. These are the chemicals and poisons causing cells to mutate and are in our air, food, and water, and everywhere around us. Eliminating these toxins is essential to fighting cancer growth and ensuring the organs and immune system are functioning at their absolute best.

• Restoration of the Immune System

Cleaning the body of toxins and impurities frees up the immune system to focus on killing cancer cells and protecting the body. With Essiac Tea, complete body purification occurs, with a significant boost in the body’s immune system to combat any pre-existing disease by producing more lymphocytes and T-cells, the body’s natural defenses. Your immune system is the #1 defense against ALL diseases and it’s proper functioning is absolutely vital! Pharmaceutical drugs have been successful at masking the symptoms of disease, but not ridding the body of the root of the problem. Unlike most alternative treatments, modern medicine focuses on treating the patients’ physical symptoms, rather than the underlying causes of the disease. In many cases, the underlying cause of cancer is a weak immune system. Your body is constantly fighting cancer cells but when it is compromised, the cancer can gain a foothold.

How does Essiac Tea Work?

Your immune system is constantly fighting disease. But when it becomes compromised, by unhealthy living and high toxin levels, the disease is able to gain a foothold. The tea cleanses the body of toxins, repairs the immune system, and strengthens vital organs, improving nearly all aspects of health. As a result, the body is able to fight disease on it’s own. As we will discuss in more detail soon, the benefits of essiac tea are numerous! Essiac herbs are also a rich, natural source of vitamins and minerals and all of them contain antioxidants which are known to protect against cell damage caused by free radicals. Excessive amounts of these free radicals can lead to cell injury and death, which may contribute to many diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and many other major disorders. Essiac tea is also used by many people for all-around health and prevention.

 

Does Essiac Really Cure Cancer?

Essiac tea is not a miracle cure. Although it has many anti-cancer properties and immune benefits, every situation is different. There are so many personal factors that can affect the outcome. It should not be used as a primary treatment for advanced cancers but should be used in combination with other natural and conventional treatments and makes an excellent addition to any cancer diet. This remedy is best used against early diagnosed cancers that do not have rapid growth and are not spreading aggressively. Although this tea has been used to treat advanced cancers, it is not commonly administered like it was in Rene’s clinic. Rene Caisse used locally grown herbs to prepare her formula and administered it to her patients within 48 hours of preparation. Most commercially prepared mixes just cannot offer that same level of freshness and potency.

 

Is it OK to use Essiac During Chemo/Radiation?

Many people have reported success using essiac in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments. Despite it’s long anecdotal history of being used with chemo/radiation, you should consult with your doctor or naturopath before using essiac tea. They may have a good reason why you shouldn’t. As always, start slow and pay attention to your body. Also, be aware that some side effects are caused by the detoxifying effect of essiac and are actually a good thing.

 

How do I Prepare Essiac Tea?

Here is the true essiac tea recipe that was published in 1988 by Dr. Gary Glum and later publicly confirmed under oath by Mary McPherson, Rene’s friend and assistant at her Bracebridge clinic for cancer patients. At that time, Mary was the only one besides Rene who knew the essiac recipe and had actually prepared it. You can find the word-for-word transcription of her affidavit here along with more information on the essiac tea recipe. I find its easier and more accurate to measure the ingredients by weight so I’ve also included a recipe measured in grams.

There is no evidence it is beneficial to health. In a number of studies Essiac either showed no action against cancer cells, or actually increased the rate of cancer growth.
