For those on the lookout for alternative medical treatment, you might want to read more about something called Essiac Tea. You can find a lot of information about it on the internet, especially about benefits. There's not much to it regarding disadvantages and words of caution about who can't use it though, since most medicinal herbs have certain effects on the human body which may prove to be beneficial while undesirable and unwanted in others. We can breeze through some of those precautionary words in a few, but for now, here's a little more detail on this seldom heard-of item. Also known as Flor Essence, it is a popular folk cure for cancer that is comprised of 4 different herbs, mixed in a very specific formula. The original herbal mixture has helped hundreds of thousands of people over the world. Herbologists and lay people alike have been making this recipe since Rene Caisse developed the recipe. Keep in mind that nothing works for everyone, and some people should not take certain things at all.
This tea, for the most part, is a safe mixture of herbs that can contribute to detoxification of the human body, as well as some healing properties which provide much benefit. There are a few precautions to take though, so don't take Essiac Tea:
*
If you're pregnant or attempting to become so. Essiac Tea has Rhubarb as one of its components, and it's used for the treatment of amenorrhea, thus stimulating women to have irregular monthly periods. It can also cause contractions of the uterus.
*
If you're prone to kidney stones. Rhubarb also contains oxalic acid, which contribute in the formation of kidney stones, so avoid taking in Essiac Tea.
*
If you constantly experience diarrhea. One of Essiac Tea's components Sheep Sorrel can be a substitute for laxatives, and can cause the bowels to contract, thus causing cramps in the anal muscles.
If you experience none of the above, then here are some reasons on why you should take Essiac Tea.:
*
If you're prone or are actually experiencing Diabetes. Take extra caution in monitoring your blood sugar level when ingesting Essiac Tea, as the herbal blend itself can make your cells a lot less resistant to insulin, maybe even resulting to hypoglycemia.
*
You can take Essiac Tea to increase your blood iron levels.
*
If you happen to take digoxin, which is a heart medicine, Essiac tea increases its effect.
Taking Flor Essence has its benefits, more so than contraindications. But it's always wise to make a well thought-out decision before jumping into conclusions that you need this. You'll have to do the research yourself whether you need it or not.
