Fibers and other chemicals in alfalfa appears to bind with bad cholesterol, keeping it from staying in the blood or depositing in blood vessels. More of the harmful types of cholesterol leave the body, while high density lipoprotein (HDL) (the good cholesterol), appears not to be affected by alfalfa. When used for cholestoral reduction in adults, a recommended dose of alfalfa is 40 mg of alfalfa seed or 5,000 mg to 10,000 mg (5 grams to 10 grams) of dried alfalfa leaves and stems three times a day. Dried alfalfa may be taken as capsules, tablets, or tea made from dried alfalfa soaked in boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes, then strained before drinking. To enjoy Alfalfa Peppermint Leaf Tea, pour 6 oz. boiling water over a measured teaspoon of tea. Add more or less tea or water to taste.

It should be treated as a perishable food and kept in the refrigerator at all times. We get our herbs from different sources and every harvest varies in amounts of plant constituents due to differing soil and climate conditions. Some variation in color and thickness of the ESSIAC TEA will occur from one batch to the next. Not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. HOW TO MAKE THE TEA - Mix the dry herb formula thoroughly. This is especially important if you purchased a 4 cup package and you are only making a one cup batch. - Pour 2 gallons of distilled water into a pot. Be sure to use a pot that is large enough so it doesn't boil over. - Put 1 cup of ESSIAC herb formula into the water. - Bring water to a rolling boil in the pot with the lid on. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes and turn stove off.  Scrape herbs off the side of the pot. - Allow pot to remain closed for 12 hours. Stir the herbs off the bottom of the pot. Turn stove to full heat for about 20 minutes (scalding), but do not boil. - Turn stove off. Sterilize the eight 32 oz. bottles and caps. Take them out of the hot water one at a time as you are ready to fill them. A glass funnel with a filter will allow you to filter the tea as you pour it into the 32 oz. bottles. - Use a glass measuring cup to pour hot liquid into the hot bottles immediately, taking care to tighten caps. Allow bottles to cool, then tighten caps again. Refrigerate until ready for use. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Heat 2 oz. distilled water in a non-aluminum pot. Add 2 oz. of ESSIAC Tea (shake bottle well first). Mix and drink. Take on an empty stomach, before or at least 2 hours after eating as a preventative, or twice daily as a treatment. Taking it before retiring and again the next morning works very well. DRIED HERBS - One cup of these dried herbs (premixed in the correct proportions) makes nearly 2 gallons of tea. Each package comes with complete instructions. Making the tea yourself is the most economical way to use this formula. Another added benefit is that your energy goes into the tea as you make it. We believe that the more we take part in our own healing, the better results we can obtain. http://www.shilajeet.com/store/ESIAK-TEA-4-Cup-Package-45-0-1141.html?src=rss Good health flows from your feet to your body!

Licorice root contains a compound that is about 50 times sweeter than sugar. Licorice root is commonly used to treat a variety of illnesses ranging from the common cold to liver disease. This herb has long been valued as a demulcent (soothing, coating agent) and continues to be used by professional herbalists today to relieve respiratory ailments (such as allergies, bronchitis, colds, sore throats, and tuberculosis), stomach problems (including, possibly, heartburn from reflux or some other cause and gastritis), inflammatory disorders, skin diseases, and liver problems. Researchers found that a Licorice compound, known as carbenoxolone, appears to inhibit an enzyme in the brain that is involved in making stress-related hormones, which have been associated with age-related mental decline. The study, published in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed daily supplementation with the compound improved verbal fluency in healthy elderly men and improved verbal memory in older adults with diabetes. Other previous studies have suggested that the licorice root compound might increase insulin sensitivity and improve diabetes, but glucose control levels remained unchanged during the study in this group. http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Licorice-Root-Stomach-Ailments-45-0-469.html?src=rss Allspice whole, bay leaf broken, cardamon whole, chili pepper cut, cinnamon cut, coriander, ginger cut, whole mustard seed, whole black bepper.
