Wondering if you need to change your diet when you take Essiac tea?
It's common for many health protocols to require that you change your diet when adopting the protocols. Usually it's explained that the protocol won't work unless you change your diet in a specific way. Of course, if you are purchasing a supplement or herbal product and the product suggests that you change your diet you are going to do that if you are serious about getting well.
However, changing your diet often comes at a cost. These costs include:
- a taste cost
- a social cost (not being able to participate in group meals or going out to eat)
- a time cost (making multiple meals versus having one large family meal takes more time)
- a financial cost (eating special often costs more)
Many times, the diet change is asking too much you won't be able to stick with it long-term. Other times, nutritional deficiencies can develop over time which can cause additional problems. It might require more frequent bloodwork to ensure your body is getting all it needs. All in all, changing your diet isn't fun and most people don't want to do it unless they have to.
The great news about Essiac tea is that you don't need to change your diet in order for the Essiac tea to do what it needs to do
We have tracked Genuine Essiac users for over 20 years and have seen no correlation with those who decided to change their diet by eliminating food groups and those who did not. Of course, you will need to follow the instructions that come with your order in terms of taking Essiac tea on an empty stomach (no food 2 hours before Essiac tea and no food 1 hour after Essiac tea). That won't require that you change your diet, per se, but it may require you to change the timing of when you eat.
Obviously, eating healthy is a good idea and you are smart to do so. We are not suggesting that you shouldn't try to eat healthy. Of course you should! However, we aren't recommending that you eliminate entire food groups or engage in restrictive fasts in order to allow the Essiac to work. And that is uplifing information to hear. After all, who wants to deprive themselves like that? It's also hard to maintain a diet like that with a busy lifestyle.
In general, a balanced diet includes:
- plant based protein
- organic meats and dairy in moderation
- healthy fats
- whole grains
- beans and legumes
- fruits and vegetables
Eating a healthy, balanced diet most of the time is a great idea. I like to follow the 80/20 rule: 80% of the time try to eat healthy, and it's OK if 20% of the time you don't. Try to minimize sugar, trans fats and alcohol if you are concerned with eating as healthfully as possible.
Always defer to your medical team when it comes to personal dietary suggestions. The general guidelines you will see on this page for diet are not necessarily the best for your particular body or situation.

Since you don't have to change your diet, you will know it was actually the Essiac that worked, and not the diet change
If you change your diet and take a supplement or herbal tea, how do you ever know which thing did the trick? The simple answer is, you don't! It makes you wonder if these products actually work as well as they claim to when they tell you that you have to pair their use with diet change. 🤔 Genuine Essiac works well enough that we don't require you adhere to a particular diet for best results. That will make the product more accessible for more people.

Hi Gina,
My friend had a heart transplant in January of 2023. She is interested in Essiac Tea but has been told not to take anything that improves our immune system( for fear of rejection of the heart).
Do you have any heart transplant clients that use Essiac?
Thank you in advance for your comment.,
Grateful for Essiac Tea,
