Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 The latin name that I have is " Rumex Acetosella " . Steve ----------------------------- Hi, I've read you need to make absolutely certain you have the correct sheep sorrel (very important); there are some promoted as sheep sorrel but really aren't, or at least isn't the right one that was used in the original recipe. When I get back this evening, if no one else has sent in the correct Latin name, will find it and send it.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 I personally don't believe in taking anything forever unless there is a need for it. Why are you or were you taking it - i.e.disease, etc... if you are taking it just for health reasons I would go off it for a week or two and come back on for the same... I believe , personally, that anything can build up an immunity after a period of time... but that is just me... And if you are healthy why keep taking it... let your body work for itself for awhile....Sometimes the body needs "crutches"to heal...once healed let it do its job.. This is just me - others may have another viewpoint... "C.A.Spence" wrote: I have a question concerning Essiac. My husband and I, as well as two of my friends, have been taking it for over a year. Is there a problem with continuing to take this over a long period of time? I know some things lose their effectiveness if taken that long.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 SueHere you go! You can reduce all the quantities if you wish to make less. To make 1 cup of mix to brew with 2 gallons of distilled water: Burdock root (cut) = 1/2 cup Sheep Sorrel (powdered) = 3/8 cup Slippery Elm bark (powdered) = 2 Tablespoons + 2 teaspoons Turkey rhubarb (powdered) = 1 teaspoon Approximate number of bottles of tea made, depending on water loss 1 cup herb mix + 2 gallons of water = about 224 liquid ounces of teawill fill fourteen 16-ounce pint bottles, or seven 32-ounce quart bottles. 1/2 cup herb mix + 1 gallon of water = about 112 liquid ounces of teawill fill seven 16-ounce bottles, or three and a half 32-ounce quart bottles. 1/4 cup herb mix + 1/2 gallon of water = about 56 liquid ounces of teawill fill three and a half 16-ounce bottles, or almost two 32-ounce quart bottles. Supplies Needed Do not use anything made of aluminum. Stainless steel kettle with lid (or glass, UK unchipped enamel, CND granite pot)Stainless steel sieveLarge stainless steel or wood stirring utensilStainless steel funnel or 2-cup glass measuring cupGlass bottles can be amber, colored or clear glass Sizes of kettle and how many bottles depend on amount of tea prepared.3 gallon kettle and 14 bottles are ideal for 1 cup herb mix + 2 gallons of water. Bottles and lids can be sterilized by one of these methods: 1) Boil for 10 minutes with a little food grade peroxide or Clorox.2) Boil bottle caps, put bottles in 250 degree oven for 10 minutes.3) Soak for 5 minutes in 1 ounce 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide plus 11 oz. distilled water.4) Soak for 5 minutes in 1/2 teaspoon Clorox plus 1 gallon distilled water.5) 16 oz. size bottles can be sterilized in a microwave oven carefully. The water you use for making essic tea should be as pure as possible. Don't use tap water. Most people use distilled water. Nice but not vital, you can "re-energize and re-oxygenate" distilled water by shaking it well or setting it in the sun for a few hours. Preparation Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Measure out desired amount of dry ingredients. Pour proportionate amount of water into pot. Bring water to a rolling boil with the lid on. Stir dry ingredients into boiling water. Replace lid and continue boiling at reduced heat for 10 minutes. Turn off stove. Scrape down sides of pot and stir mixture thoroughly. Replace lid, let pot sit and cool undisturbed for 10-12 hours (overnight). Reheat to steaming hot, but do not let it boil. Turn off heat and allow herbs to settle for a few minutes. Pour hot liquid through sieve to catch sediment. Use funnel to fill sterilized bottles, put lids on. Allow bottles to cool, then tighten lids. Store in dark cool place, always refrigerate an opened bottle. Essiac contains no preservatives, discard if mold develops. "When in doubt, throw it out". Unopened bottles can be stored in a cool, dark place, or keep all the bottles in the refrigerater. Don't freeze essiac or warm it up in a microwave (use hot water to dilute and warm it). Keep the tea refrigerated at all times. Shake well each time before pouring. Take it on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours after eating or when you wake in the am. Wait 2 more hours before eating after taking the tea. Good times to take it are at bedtime, or upon awakening. More seriously ill persons can take it safely 3 to 4 times daily, spaced out, as described above, separated from meals, by two hours. It is not going to do you much good to take it with meals. It will not work all mixed up with your dinner. That would just be a waste of money.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Jumping in...I know that red clover and watercress are 2 of the original of the other four herbs in the original Essiac formula given to Caisse. If I were going to use the Essiac formula I would include ALL of the original herbs. Although the 8th is unknown. There is one more I can't remember. It might be one of these you mentioned...Red Clover is a well known herb for cancer treatment. Gaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Caisse herself deleted 4 herbs from the very 1st " Original " recipe... This is one website, although there are thousands...The top paragraph list all the original herbs given to Caisse except the 8th one which Caisse never referred to...Periwinkle, Watercress, and Red Clover were 3, and the 4th (8th) not mentioned. Read this and you will see that she tested all the herbs seperately and honed it down to the four that everyone refers to today as the Essiac Formula. You might also try a search on Essiac and find further info that refers to the other " Original " herbs in the recipe given to Caisse by a woman who got the original recipe from the Indian Medicine man.... http://essiac-info.org/recipe1.html In reply to: Where did you read that Gaye? In all I've read the original formula only had 4 and then more were added by, I can't remember now who... I have used the 4 and had great success with it...
