Chinese medicinal viewpoint of essiac tea 

A Chinese medicinal viewpoint (by Ed Kasper LAc. (Licensed Acupuncturist, retired) Ed has been trained and tested for competency in the prescription of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine by the State of California.)

Essiac, used as a popular formula for cancer patients and other auto-immune conditions, this is a well balanced formula, designed to 'cleanse the blood' of 'toxins'. Many folks use this formula to help their liver and to regain their lost momentum

In terms of Chinese herbal medicine criteria; essiac is largely focused on clearing heat from the blood and in the Chinese theory of disorders caused by Warm Diseases, and to some degree, relieving blood stasis.

Normally this prescription would be contraindicated for Spleen Qi or Yang Deficient patients, Kidney Yang Deficient patients with Cold, or in later, debilitated stages of cancer. However, when following recommended dosages (even at the very high dosage rate suggested) this herbal formula is a very weak (meaning diluted) formula. The body readily accepts the formula under even such adverse conditions as chemotherapy.

1) Regarding other ingredients. Red Clover is cool, sour and clears heat from the blood. similar to Mu Dan Pi

2) Sheep sorrel is also sour, cool, astringent , and clears blood heat.

3) Burdock Root is from the same plant as Niu Bang Zi/sm. arctium lappa which is a wind/heat clearing medicinal. The root is used in western herbal medicine, again, to clear heat from the blood.

4) Slippery Elm is bland, sweet and neutral, regulating the spleen, stomach and large intestine. Helps to balance this prescription.

5) Rhubarb (untreated, unlike much of the Chinese Da Huang, mostly wine-fried) clears heat from the blood and drains it from the bowels. In this formula, it's precipitating effect would depend on how long it is cooked in this formula.

This formula works very well along with Kombucha Tea and Harald Tietze, western herbalist and Kombucha author ha recommended taking this formula together.
