Sometimes a break is recommended with other herbal teas so that your body doesn't "get used to" it.
- It's true that, with some herbal products, your body could overdose on the active ingredient or ingredients if you don't take a break.
- There are also some products on which you could become dependent on the blend.
- However, the herbs in Essiac Tea are fine to use long term at the general recommended serving sizes.
