Always follow your surgeon's recommendations about what you can and can't take before surgery, including with Essiac.
SUMMARY
As a general rule of thumb, it is wise to avoid taking Essiac tea 24 hours prior to your surgery to be sure that there will be no contraindication with having your procedure. However, please consult with your medical provider to see the suggestion for your specific procedure.
When to Resume Essiac After Surgery
- In most cases, you can resume Essiac Tea as soon as you are able to eat or drink again after surgery.
- If you are told to consume a low fiber diet, you could strain the herbs out and just drink the liquid until you are permitted to resume taking in foods that contain fiber, such as fruits and vegetables (each 3 oz. serving has about 2 grams of fiber with the powder left in).
- Consuming Essiac tea without the herbs is still far better than not drinking any Essiac at all.
- Please consult with your medical provider for advice regarding your specific situation. Always default to your physician's advice.
Taking Breaks From Essiac Isn't Ideal, But it's Necessary With Surgery
- While it's true that taking breaks from Essiac can impact upon the results, as long as you take the shortest possible break from Essiac if you have surgery, you should be fine.
- Just make sure you resume drinking Essiac again as soon as you're able to.
