Essiac Tea And Cancer – An Overview:

When we talk about cancer, the immediate herb that can be useful in this regard is ‘essiac.’ Essiac and Flor Essence are herbal tea mixtures that have been used as cancer treatments (1).The name might sound unfamiliar to most of us, but it is a renowned formula for the treatment of cancer. Essiac tea has been regarded as a proven method of curing cancer. Before proceeding to analyse its effectiveness in cancer treatment, let us know more about this formula.
Essiac is an age-old formula for the treatment of cancer, and is named after a Canadian nurse named Rene Caisse, (Caisse spelt backwards) who devised it. It is a combination of four main herbs growing in the wilderness of Ontario in Canada, and is believed to have originated among the native Canadian Ojibway Indians.

Essiac comprises of four basic herbs, namely:

• Burdock root
• Slippery Elm
• Indian Rhubarb Root
• Sheep Sorrel

The roots, leaves and bark of the herbs mentioned above are boiled to prepare a drinkable brown liquid that we refer to as Essiac tea. Apart from the four main ingredients, other ingredients like Red Clover blessed thistle, kelp and watercress may also be included to prepare a modified essiac product.

Essiac Tea For Cancer:

Essiac was claimed to be a miracle treatment for cancer after Nurse Rene Caisse had cured several patients in the small town of Bracebridge. However, there is still a lack of conclusive scientific evidence regarding its efficacy in cancer treatment. According to The American Cancer Society, the reviews of medical records of people who were treated with Essiac, do not support the claims that the product helps relieve cancer symptoms (2).

However, some of the reasons Essiac tea might be effective in curing cancer include the following:

• As stated above, Essiac tea is prepared by combining the four herbs. Out of these, Burdock Root and Sheep Sorrel are proven to kill cancer cells while the other two strengthen the immune system and get involved in detoxifying and protecting the organs. This combined effect can be favourable in curing cancer.
• Often cancer reaches a stage where conventional cancer treatments can no longer cure it. But still it is possible to control the symptoms. It should be kept in mind that Essiac tea is considered to be effective in Phase III cancer treatment, but it is not strong enough to treat Stage IV cancer. However, it can be used as an addition to Stage IV treatment. For example, Essiac tea can be combined with the Bill Henderson Protocol, which is itself a Stage IV treatment, and included in a diet that one can follow.

Essiac tea possesses certain other health benefits and people in general take essiac to feel better. Intake of Essiac tea can relieve pain, prevent weight loss in advanced cancer (cachexia), shrink tumours, detoxify and cleanse your body and improve overall energy levels, health and well-being.

Side Effects Of Essiac Tea:

While there is a lack of scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of Essiac tea as a cure for cancer, intake of this formula can lead to the following side effects namely:

• Increased frequency of bowels and urine
• Swollen glands
• Headaches

• Symptoms of flu
• Skin redness and inflammation

Essiac tea is also not suitable for people with liver or kidney problems and pregnant women as the ingredients used in this tea contain chemicals called oxalates that can damage your liver and kidneys.

Conclusion:

Since Essiac is not a licenced drug, it cannot be relied upon as an alternative remedy for cancer. According to the researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Essiac continues to be a popular cancer therapy despite the unsubstantiated claims of its effectiveness. However, it is sold and can be used as a nutritional supplement. The quality of ingredients used in Essiac tea is equally important. One should note that Rene Caisse prepared the tea on her own and gave it to her patients within 48 hours of making it. But the tea that you order may be several months old and not effective enough. Besides, essiac may interact with certain types of cancer treatments, so it is advisable to take medical advice before using it as a remedy.
