Only minimal information available about Essiac dosage

Only minimal information about dose and schedule of administration is freely available from the manufacturer of Essiac. Essiac has been used in attempts to treat asbestos-related mesothelioma. According to the manufacturer, the dose will vary, depending on the reason for ingestion; the manufacturer’s recommended schedules of administration assume a 12-week program of uninterrupted use. Although Essiac is said to be safe for pets, no information is given about its safety in children.

The manufacturer of Flor•Essence states that adults may consume from 30 to 360 mL (i.e., 1-12 fl oz) of Flor•Essence tea a day, depending on individual requirements, and that it may be used on an ongoing basis. The manufacturer also suggests that Flor•Essence may be safely consumed by infants and children, but its use by pregnant women and nursing mothers is not recommended. The promotion of mammary tumors observed in a rat model of breast cancer raises the theoretical concern that Flor•Essence may impact normal mammary ductal development during childhood, thereby raising concern about its use at this time.
