The original Rene Caisse recipe for Essiac tea, was enough to take care of a whole clinic of waiting patients. I have slightly modified it, for my own use, and it will work for you too.
Even if you follow the original instructions, and use only 8oz of the dry herbal mixture, it still makes too much, for a single person. While it sits in the refrigerator, it loses its effectiveness, or can even go moldy on you.
It is better to make it in smaller amounts, and have a more potent result. I am also concerned as to how you can adequately mix in the Turkey Rhubarb root, thruout the whole 45 oz of dry mixture.
I measure the herbs directly into a ziploc bag, by using the postal scale, to measure BY WEIGHT. I am not talking about measuring by volume, with a cooking measuring cup.
Herbs | Original Amounts | Eight Ounces | Four Ounces | Two Ounces | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Burdock Root | 25 oz | 5 oz | 2.5 oz | 1.25 oz | |
Sheep Sorrel Herb | 15 oz | 3 oz | 1.5 oz | .75 oz | |
Turkey Rhubarb Root | 1 oz or 10 t. | .20 oz or 2 t. | .10 oz or 1 t. | .05 oz or 1/2 t. | |
Slippery Elm Root | 4 oz | .8 oz | .4 oz | .2 oz | |
Total Ounces | 45 oz | 8.82 oz | 4.41 oz | 2.205 oz |
Store unused portions of the dry mixture in an airtight
container, and keep out of the light. After

This means 8 oz BY WEIGHT in the dry herbal mixture. To divide it into 4 packages, first mix it well, in a large bowl, and then divide it into 4 different ziploc bags. You won't need the scale, if you make 4 packages of equal size.
Please include your email address, so that I can keep in touch with you, and add a personal touch. I cannot give medical advice, but I might be able to help steer you to information that you can study about detoxification and raising your consciousness to a layer of reality where you are already healed. If you are buying herbs from me, you are entitled to a little TLC. I do not make any claims about cures. Any information I write is about teaching.
For each eight ounces of dry herbal mixture, use 2 gallons of distilled water, in a stainless steel kettle. For four ounces, use 1 gallon of distilled water. For two ounces, use 2 quarts of distilled water. [If using half my 8-ounce package, STIR WELL, because I measure directly into each ZipLoc bag.]
Boil the distilled water. It takes about 30 minutes for 2 gallons.
Put the dry herbal mixture into the boiling water.
Stir it and boil hard for about 10 minutes, with the lid on.
Cover and allow it to sit and cool slowly for six hours.
After six hours, stir it thoroughly with a wooden or stainless steel tool.
Let it sit for another six hours.
Return the kettle to the stove and bring it to a boil.
When the boiling point is reached, turn off the heat and pour the tea thru a stainless steel strainer into a second stainless steel kettle.
Clean the first kettle thoroughly.
Strain the contents a second time from pot 2 to pot 1.
Bottle the resulting herbal tea immediately into dark amber bottles and seal it while still hot. I used clear glass canning jars successfully.
Cool them, and store in the refrigerator, until needed. I found that if not used quickly enough, the tea lost its strength, so I recommend using pint jars, instead of quarts.
Pour the tea into the measuring device, instead of sticking the spoon into the jar. This habit will protect against contamination.
Keep the tea refrigerated at all times. Shake well each time before pouring.
Take it on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours after eating. Wait 2 more hours before eating after taking the tea.
Good times to take it are at bedtime, or upon awakening.
More seriously ill persons can take it safely 3 to 4 times daily, spaced
out, as described above, separated from meals, by two hours.
It is not going to do you much good to take it with meals.
It will not work all mixed up with your dinner. That
would just be a waste of money.
