Review: I deal with this company life time all ways trustworthy service and excellent quality products am thankful for this company service Review: This is a great tea. Despite some comments that it doesn't taste that great, I think it's a matter of individual taste. I have tried it, it wasn't sour, it had a kind of earthy taste. Both my husband and I drank it every morning for a month or so, more to see what it was like than anything else. We used 1 oz of the made tea, then added an ounce of hot water. Yes. it's a hassle to make, but as you only need to do it once every two or three weeks, it's really not bad. And it's boiling it up once, letting it sit overnight, and then getting it hot again, straining and bottling it. No brains needed! I really bought it to take to my sister who lives in South Africa. She is suffering from metastatic breast cancer which has gone into her lungs and bones. She has been on four different chemos over the years, and the one she is using at present is experimental. Her feeling is that she is tired of chemo, doctors, having blood drawn, and wants to stop it all. As a caution, some have mentioned that the 8 herb essiac is better than the 4 herb, this one is the 4 herb. It may be that the 8 herb is better, but if you have breast cancer, depending on whether it is estrogen receptive, one of the herbs in the 8 herb, I believe it's red clover, should not be taken if your cancer is estrogen receptive. A friend who had tried the 8 herb told me that the 8 herb really does taste bad. My sister didn't want to try this at first, but as she was feeling so bad, she asked me to make it up for her. I did, using just half the amount of herbs and water mentioned on the packet, as it will last quite a while. We asked family to save bottles with screw on caps and used those to store the tea. She got up in the night to take 1 oz from the pot as she wanted to get started. She started taking just 1 oz three times per day, and after a couple of weeks increased that a bit to about 2 oz. She just drinks it straight and cold, but drinks plenty of water during the day. And she says she actually likes the taste of it. By the third day of taking it she said she was feeling so much better. She wasn't taking a nap in the morning and afternoon as she had been. She was down to just one nap per day! She had also been coughing badly, unable to get her breath. After a week, she was only coughing occasionally. She kept telling me how much better she felt. I was also making a smoothie for us every evening that was full of fruit and vegetables, so I have to credit that for some of the improvement. She had blood drawn while I was there to check her tumor markers. On chemo alone they were normally coming down by 10 points every month. She was sure that they would have come down more because she was feeling so much better. Well, they had only come down by 9, so she was disappointed. But at the beginning of November she had them checked again - and they had come down by 19 points! She was very pleased, as they had never come down by that much in a month before. The doctor was pleased too, though he doesn't know she is taking essiac at the same time as chemo. The information I had found for her stated that essiac tea would not affect chemo, but that the chemo might lessen the effectiveness of the essiac. So we don't yet know how well she will continue to do. I will try to update this from time to time with her progress, or lack of. But what I can say is that based on what I have seen with her, it is worth a try, as even if it doesn't cure her, it has made her quality of life much more comfortable. ## Features - Organic burdock root, organic sheep sorrel, organic (Turkey) rhubarb root and organic slippery elm bark. - Origin: United States - Certified Organic by QAI - In accordance with the USDA National Organic Program Guidelines - Kosher Certified by Kosher Certification Services - cGMP Compliant (current Good Manufacturing Practices) - During the summer months products may arrive warm but desertcart stores and ships products in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations, when provided. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003AYEHUM | | ASIN | B003AYEHUM | | Age Range Description | Adults | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,219 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #333 in Herbal Tea | | Brand Name | Starwest Botanicals | | Caffeine Content Description | Caffeine Free | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,811) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,811) | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Each Unit Count | 16 | | Flavor | Sorrel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00767963084040 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 15.2 x 12.7 x 10.2 centimeters | | Item Form | Loose Leaves | | Item Type Name | beverages | | Item Volume | 9.3 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 83 g | | Item model number | 401103-71 | | Liquid Contents Description | Beverage Type Not Listed | | Manufacturer | Starwest Botanicals | | Manufacturer | Starwest Botanicals | | Model Number | 401103-71 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 401103-71 | | Product Benefits | Detox, Support Digestion, Immunity Support | | Product Dimensions | 15.24 x 12.7 x 10.16 cm; 83.16 g | | Recommended Uses For Product | Wellness Tea | | Special Ingredients | Burdock root, Sorrel, Rhubarb root, Slippery elm bark | | Specialty | Kosher, Organic | | Sweetness Description | Not Sweet | | Tea Variety | Burdock Root | | UPC | 767963084040 | | Unit Count | 453.6 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Starwest Botanicals - **Flavour:** Sorrel - **Item form:** Loose Leaves - **Tea variety:** Burdock Root - **Unit count:** 453.6 Grams ## Images ![Starwest Botanicals Organic Essiac Tea, 1 Pound - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sp7RLB+qL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the shelf life of the contents of the bag when not opened, and then when opened, and how is the best way to store it in each scenario?** A: We keep it in the original bag out of heat and sun.Dont know shelf life because it doesn't stay unused long. Hope this helps you God Bless  **Q: I heard essiac tea is not effective without sheep sorrel root. why is that not used??** A: I contacted the company and it was verified that the root is not used, only leaves and stems. While this does not completely invalidate the benefits of the tea, it is better when whole plant Sheep Sorrell, including 25% root is used. For the person challenging this with regards to the handwritten recipe, that is correct that it was not included on the recipe. However, Barbara Kokotsis, who provided herbs to Rene Caisse and was a recipient later of the instructions and handwritten letter verified via interview in the early 80's that the whole plant was essential. Not including the root doesn't invalidate, it is just much more effective for cancer patients when this portion is included. It also increases the cost of the product to use whole plant v. only leaves and stems, therefore, many companies do not to keep cost down. **Q: How does this compare to other Essiac Teas?** A: Hey Doug, I haven't tried anything premade. With this product (the directions are on the package) you basiclly make your own tea and there is enough product to make over 2 gallons of tea in each package. I have been plauged with skin cancer for over 30 years and it is almost completely eradicated ofter 3 months use. In addition to drinking it I also wipe it directly on my face. Really like a miracle. I also got my emotions under control because the cancer always got worse when I was upset. Good luck buddy. Joe **Q: what is country of origin for this?** A: I contacted Starwest Botanicals regarding the origin of the herbs used. This is the response: burdock root: Croatia sheep sorel: US slippery elm: US rhubarb root: China ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***R on 25 November 2023* I deal with this company life time all ways trustworthy service and excellent quality products am thankful for this company service ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***W on 20 November 2013* This is a great tea.

Purtroppo non sapevo che la vera Essiac deve contenere la radice di Acetosa, e in questo prodotto non c'è, dentro contiene solo le foglie, che sono meno efficaci e costano molto meno delle radici. Sicuramente questo tea farà bene al corpo ma non bene come la vera Essiac, che ha dei costi superiori perché le radici di Acetosa impiegano 2-3 anni per crescere e questo giustifica un costo superiore. ## Frequently Bought Together - Starwest Botanicals Essiac Tea Organic - Caffeine Free Herbal Blend, Loose Leaf Burdock Root, Slippery Elm Bark, Sheep Sorrel, & Rhubarb, Certified Kosher, Non-GMO - Bulk 1 lb Bag - Bitter Apricot Kernels Organic Raw (1LB) -100% USDA Organic Certified – Product of Turkey - FullChea - Soursop Leaves Tea Bags, 40 Teabags - Premium Soursop Graviola Leaves - Hojas De Guanabana Tea - Non-GMO - Caffeine-free - Improve Digestion, Support Healthy Skin & Sleep --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/257734337-starwest-botanicals-organic-essiac-tea-1-pound](https://www.desertcart.it/products/257734337-starwest-botanicals-organic-essiac-tea-1-pound) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
