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?

Hi ajaya
I’ve not used it personally for lymphoma as of yet but being a delving therapist of herbs the tea has aided immunity detoxification and anti inflammatory properties. However just remember everyone’s a individual and reacts differently to different meds and sometimes you can’t mix herbs with certain medicines. So research first. I’m using white tea it’s high in VC and helps immunosupressed people and I use astralagus for blood liver and bronchitis etc . I’m not on any meds yet tho for the blood cancer only pain meds. I use burdock root ( which is in Essie’s tea for swollen belly and fluid. I also make cannabis tea and I have told my drs what I take including glucosamine and chondroitin for fractured spine and joints etc etc all of them including my Heamotologist said use whatever you feel ok with especially the glucosamine and chondroitin to keep inflammation down. Yes I’m a weirdo of naturopathy science and old school nurse 😊 I just am up front with them all and when I’m given prescription meds I do my research and if it’s not compatible together I don’t take them together. Essiac tea is used as a ant inflammatory . I am going to try some essiac tea 😊☮️

Have you or others had experience with Essiac tea for lymphoma?

The search results don't include specific information about Essiac tea or experiences from MyLymphomaTeam members who have tried it. However, there's important general guidance about herbal supplements that applies here.

Many herbal supplements claiming to help with cancer haven't been thoroughly tested. There's very little scientific proof that any specific nutrient or supplement is effective in treating cancer itself.

Before trying Essiac tea or any herbal supplement, it's crucial to talk with your doctor. Some herbal products can:

- Interfere with your lymphoma treatment effectiveness
- Cause unexpected side effects
- Interact negatively with your medications

For example, St. John's wort reduces the effectiveness of certain cancer drugs, and green tea supplements can interfere with bortezomib (Velcade), used for mantle cell lymphoma.

Just because something is natural doesn't automatically mean it's safe, especially when you're undergoing cancer treatment. Your oncologist can help you understand whether Essiac tea might be safe for your specific situation and treatment plan.

Thanks 👍😊 Keeping a log is a good idea. I'm going to talk with my oncologist about it. I take 14 different meds a day so I need to be careful that one thing doesn't counteract another. If I get an okay from the doctor I'm going to give it a shot 😁

Hello! I was taking Essiac Tea for a year. My numbers were stable except for my liver enzymes which sheep sorrel and burdock root could cause that so I am taking a break. From it. Overall I feel I had good results. I too lean on teas . Mainly Chinese herbs and I have been having success . Logan, goji berries, chrysanthemum, and some mushrooms for example. Even my white blood cells increased. Use everything with in moderation. It’s a process of elimination to see what works best for you. I would definitely try it and keep a log of your labs to monitor your results. Good luck!!!!!!♥️

Thank you 😊 I'll check with my oncologist to see if the tea would interfere with any of the meds I take. I take 14 pills a day for various ailments including the cancer. If it helps with inflammation maybe it would help with my arthritis. We'll see 😁
