And…………………..i bought myself some “Essiac tea”

Gonna give that a bash, see what happens!

Burdock Root - cut and sifted - (these are the big pieces in the dry tea blend), Sheep Sorrel powder, Slippery Elm (inner bark) powder and Turkish Rhubarb Root powder. The Sheep Sorrel is the primary healing herb in the tea. The others support blood cleansing and elimination of toxins. This 4 herb blend is all that is needed. There are versions of this formula that include 8 herbs. The other 4 herbs are for small support only (and are in very tiny amounts) and are not necessary.

The therapeutic benefits of essiac tea is as follows :
1 - Prevents the buildup of excess fatty deposits in artery walls,
heart, kidney and liver.
2- Regulates cholesterol levels by transforming sugar and fat into
energy.
3- Destroys parasites in the digestive system and throughout the body.
4- Counteracts the effects of aluminum, lead and mercury poisoning.
5- Strengthens and tightens muscles, organs and tissues.
6- Makes bones, joints, ligaments, lungs, and membranes strong and
flexible, less vulnerable to stress or stress injuries.
7- Nourishes and stimulates the brain and nervous system.
8- Promotes the absorption of fluids in the tissues.
9- Removes toxic accumulations in the fat, lymph, bone marrow,
bladder, and alimentary canals.
10- Neutralizes acids, absorbs toxins in the bowel, and eliminates
both.
11- Clears the respiratory channels by dissolving and expelling mucus.
12- Relieves the liver of its burden of detoxification by converting
fatty toxins into water-soluble substances that can then be easily
eliminated through the kidneys.
13- Assists the liver to produce lecithin, which forms part of the
myelin sheath, a white fatty material the encloses nerve fibers.
14- Reduces, perhaps eliminates, heavy metal deposits in tissues
(especially those surronding the joints) to reduce inflammation and stiffness.
15- Improves the functions of the pancreas and spleen by increasing
the effectiveness of insulin.
16- Purifies the blood.
17- Increases red cell production, and keeps then from rupturing.
18- Increases the body's ability to utilize oxygen by raising the
oxygen level in the tissue cells.
19- Maintains the balance between potassium and sodium within the
body so that the fluid inside and outside each cell is regulated: in this
way, cells are nourished with nutrients and are also cleansed.
20- Converts calcium and potassium oxalates into a harmless form by
making them solvent in the urine. Regulates the amount of oxalic acid
delivered to the kidneys, thus reducing the risk of stone formation in the gall
bladder, kidneys, or urinary tract.
21- Protects against toxins entering the brain.
22- Protects the body against radiation and X-rays.
23- Relieves pain, increases the appetite, and provides more energy
along with a sense of well being.
24- Speeds up wound healing by regenerating the damaged area.
25- Increases the production of antibodies like lymphocytes and T-
cells in the thymus gland, which is the defender of our immune system.
26- Inhibits benign growths and tumors.
27- Protects the cells against free radicals.
