Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 If you didn't want to make your own tea, I have heard that the tincture of essiac is a very good choice. I bought this for Cody and it's called Truman's Essiak. It only takes a few drops daily and it's very potent. Just thought you'd like to know of an alternative to it, Bonnie & CodyVote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Please be careful with tinctures. They are not what Renee Caisse recommended. Neither did she recommend capsules or a tea with 8 ingredients. True Essiac Tea has four ingredients (Burdock root, Slippery elm,Turkey rhubarb, Sheep Sorrell) and is brewed as a tea. The preparation of Essiac is as important as the formula itself. Essiac is a decoction, not an infusion. An infusion is what people make when they put a tea bag in a cup of hot water. Generally speaking, an infusion tends to extract vitamins and volatile oils. A decoction is used to extract minerals, bitter components, etc. from hard materials such as roots, bark or seeds by boiling for a few minutes and then allowing the herbs to steep for several hours. Marketers often sell Essiac imitations in tincture form (herbs in alcohol) or in gelatin capsules; neither form is Essiac because Essiac is a tea and, more specifically, a decoction that must be made in a certain way in order to be effective. I understand all the marketing about tinctures being convenient, but you will never know IF the tincture is made correctly or is potent enough. To me that is taking a huge chance.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hi all, I don't know about the tincture, but one of the best sources, imo, for loose essiac tea is at www.herbsbymerlin.com. Funny,since that was part of my questions. Essiac tea is NOT recommended for CLL (leukemia) which I have. Does anyone know of any contradictions with oleander products in regards to CLL? And BTW, SoCal uses oleander bushes as medians in freeway dividers, lol. They grow EVERYWHERE around here. Huge one of the neighbor's handing over my bank fence. Thanks for any info. Jennifer I didn't google the tincture, but that will no doubt bring it up somewhere along the line. oleander soup , Maritza Vlasaty <mvlasaty wrote: > > Thanks, > Where did you purchase it from? > > > > " evian793 " <evian793 > oleander soup > Sunday, June 15, 2008 7:08:51 AM > Re: att: Loretta/essiac tea > > > If you didn't want to make your own tea, I have heard that the > tincture of essiac is a very good choice.
