Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Janice, here are the proportions for the essiac. I have known of people that take 1 or 2 oz daily as a maintenance dose, but personally if I take it over 2 weeks at a time I have to add an herbal laxative, as long term usage causes constipation in some people and I'm one of them. essiac tea: 20 parts cut burdock root 16 parts powdered sheep sorrel 4 parts powdered slippery elm bark 1 part powdered turkey rhubarb (rheum palmatum) 1 cup makes 2 gallons of tea Holistics wrote: > if i am to make my own mix of this does anyonehave a suggestion of > proportion for each herb, or are they equal? > also has anyone used it as a tonic to boost the immune system pre > winter? > janice > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Janice, I only use essiac on illnesses, not as a boost to the immune system, echineachea is a good one for that - Essiac was designed originally for cancer, but cures a multitude of things.
