I've read about it for years. It's claimed to be good for all types of cancer. Have you tried it, and if so what kind of results did you get if any?

Members discussed their interest in trying Essiac tea after hearing anecdotal success stories, with the overwhelming consensus being to consult an oncologist first to ensure it won't interfere with cancer treatments or medications. Several members shared that while scientific evidence is limited, they view trying the tea as a low-risk option that could either help or simply do no harm, with one member noting that it comes premixed and ready to brew. A recurring theme was the importance of medical guidance, particularly for specific cancers like leukemia where certain herbs and supplements can cause complications, alongside optimism about complementary approaches like green tea and integrative medicine.

😁 I'm going to check with my oncologist to make sure the tea doesn't interfere with the meds I take. If I get the all clear from her I'll give the tea a try. I figure it's a win win situation. If it works I'm better off, if it doesn't I'm still better off for having tried to do something positive for myself.

I've never read anything negative about this type of tea. It seems to either help or not. You can Google it's ingredients, most of the time it contains eight different herbs. I'm going to take the list to my oncologist and see what she says first. If she gives me the okay I'm going to give it a try 😁
