Sassafras Tea

[Guest guest]

Anyone out there know much about Sassafras root tea? I read the

FDA took it off the market in 1960, since they held that it could cause

cancer in rats. In a Health Food Store close to us they started

selling the root again, so of course it must be legal now. In the

Missouri Ozarks they have used it as a tonic for decades. I notice a

lot more energy if I drink a strong glass of the tea in the evening.

Frankly, since I have been taking a strong glass every day I feel so

much better as far as my overall health is concerned that I would hate

to go without it. I read somewhere that it contains a natural chemical

close to testosterone in its construction. Being a bit over 60 years

old I also notice quite a bit more vigor in the bed-room. Blessings,

Belial the Uncouth.

These tests conducted by FDA and others usually are not accurate because they

feed enormous amounts of the product they test to animals and this is not they

way we use an herb.

On the contrary, you make a tea with a minimum portion of the herb.

It is my understanding that it is the safrole in high doses

that could have unpleasant developments. Possible liver cancer;

animals given high doses developed difficulty walking, nervousness,

and body temperature problems. You can read different reports by

googling sassafras tea, but the general idea is that if you drink it,

do so on rare occasions.

It is my understanding that it has great medicinal power and is an old remedy. 

It grows in nature here and if one digs the roots u can make a palatable tea and

sweetened has a nice taste. You boil the root to make the tea.   Never heard

much negative about it.
