A RECIPE FOR ESSIAC TEA


Supplies Needed



Essiac Formula

  • (453 g - 53%) 6 ½ Cups (680 G ) Burdock Root - finely cut ( Arctium Lappa )

  • (453 g - 53%) 16 Oz . Wild Sheep Sorrel Herb - powdered ( Rumex Acetosella )

  • (113 g - 36%) 1 oz. Turkey (Turkish) Rhubarb Root - powdered ( Rheum Palmatum )

  • (28.4 g - 9%) 4 oz. Slippery Elm Bark - powdered ( Ulmus Fulva )


Note: There are a couple of types of Sheep Sorrel that exist; "Hybrid or Domestic Sheep Sorrel" and "Wild Sheep Sorrel." Hybrid sheep sorrel shouldn’t be used in Essiac, it is often used in salads and has large leaves, it technically still sheep sorrel but it is weak in comparison to the wild weed variant of sheep sorrel. Be sure you have the sheep sorrel weed; wild sheep sorrel has a bitter taste and tiny leaves.

  • 1. Mix Essiac formula ''thoroughly''.

  • 2. Bring sodium-free distilled water to a rolling boil in a 5-gallon pot with lid on.

  • ---(Approximately 30 minutes at sea level.)

  • 3. Stir in 1 cup of Essiac formula; then replace lid and continue boiling for 10 minutes.

  • 8. Refrigerate.

  • ---Essiac contains no preservative agents.

  • ---If Mould should develop in the bottle, discard immediately.


CAUTION: All bottles and caps ''must'' be Sterilized after use if you plan to re-use them for Essiac.
