Essiac tea could cause jaundice, mild diarrhea, abdominal pain, itchy eyes, pain in the kidneys, or the area of the lower back.

If this happens you should stop drinking the tea and consult with your doctor. Essiac tea is not recommended for pregnant women or nursing mothers.

The reported positive effects of this tea include increase appetite, more energy, a feeling of well being, and less pain. All of these reports are subjective and not verified by independant research. Side effects can be lessened by drinking a lot of water.

Very interesting tea girl...do you drink essiac tea yourself or are you just reporting your findings?
