What to Know About Essiac Tea and Other Supplements or Medications
Essiac tea is a traditional herbal tea made from plant ingredients. At this time, we are not aware of formal clinical studies specifically evaluating interactions between Essiac tea and prescription medications.
While we cannot evaluate potential medication interactions, in more than 20 years of selling Essiac tea we are not aware of any adverse interaction reports submitted to our company. However, individual medical situations can vary.
Because herbal products may interact with medications, questions about combining Essiac tea with prescription drugs should always be discussed with a physician or pharmacist who is familiar with your medical history.
Taking Essiac Tea With Medications
Medication instructions sometimes state that a medicine should be taken on an “empty stomach.” In many cases, this instruction is intended to avoid food or caloric beverages that could interfere with absorption.
However, medication instructions should always be followed exactly as written, and if you are unsure whether herbal tea is appropriate to consume with your medication, consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance specific to your situation.
Some individuals who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments choose to continue drinking Essiac tea as part of their normal routine.
However, there are no formal clinical studies specifically evaluating the use of Essiac tea alongside chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Because cancer treatments and medications vary widely, only your oncology team can advise whether using herbal products is appropriate for your particular situation.
If you are currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation, it is important to discuss any herbal teas, supplements, or dietary changes with your oncologist or healthcare provider before using them.
If your medical provider approves the use of Essiac tea, many people simply continue following the general preparation and serving guidelines used for Essiac tea.
As always, follow the guidance of your physician or oncology team regarding the use of any herbal products during medical treatment.

If you take supplements such as vitamins, minerals or herbals you may take them alongside Essiac.
If you are instructed to take those other supplements on an empty stomach, no worries - Essiac still counts as an empty stomach. And you can take supplements with Essiac because supplements aren't considered food, which is why they can be taken at any time.
Please keep in mind that amino acids and protein powders count as a food, not a supplement for the purposes of Essiac because they contain protein. If what you are consuming contains more than 2 grams of protein, please count that as a food, not a supplement. The same goes for oil based supplements. If they contain more than 2 grams of fat per serving they will also fall into the food category.
