Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 When searching info on hiatal hernias, I came across info on Essiac Tea. I want to make this tea only the ingredients are listed in "parts". I'm only familiar with teaspoons, tablespoons and cups. Does anyone make this tea and do you have a better way of measuring the ingredients? Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Normally, when an herbal formula calls for "parts" what it means is that it can be any size measurement you choose to use, that's how much you'd use for the whole formula. Um--explained better this way--say you decide that a part equals one cup. Then if the formula calls for 2 parts turkey rhubarb and one part red clover, you'd use 2 cups turkey rhubarb and one cup red clover. If you decide the part is a handful, then you'd take 2 handfuls of rhubarb and 1 handful of clover. If you decide that a part is a half cup, then it would be 1 cup of rhubarb and a half cup clover. See--some people want to make a big batch, so they might use a full cup as the "part" measurement and others just might want to make a very small batch and use a tablespoon as the measurement. A part can be any size, just so you use that same measurement for everything in the formula. Hope that was clear enough.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hello, yo may already know this, but you can get it at the original website www.essiac-canada.com. I drink it on a daily basis, but I get mine at a local herb store. Tina--- On Sat, 7/26/08, alexandria08 <alexandria08 wrote: alexandria08 <alexandria08 Essiac Tea?
