Why We Continue to Recommend You Leave the Powdered Herbs in the Essiac – Just as the Ojibwe Did

So what it is is essentially an eight herb formula that is mixed in its natural form. This is key because the Ojibwe Indians who originally did this, they didn't throw away these herbs. They didn't make it and get the colander out. This is, you know, it's seventeen hundreds, eighteen hundreds. They used everything that God gave them. The entire animal was used. The entire plant was used. They would use grinding stones to grind up these herbs, to pulverize them, to honor the gift of medicinal herbs, to ingest them in their entirety. So this is critical because some people think that's yucky and that's less desirable. And if you know anything about health, sometimes yucky and less desirable is the path to go versus delicious and cleaned up, which is what happens in an unregulated industry. They'll start to market it as more appealing. So this needs every bit of the content in your body by pulverizing it. It doesn't belong in the trash because it does no good for you in the trash.
