Essiac Tea for Cats: Your Complete Guide
Our Genuine Essiac™ Tea Was Featured in the Book Outsmart Your Pet's Cancer by Tanya Harter Pierce.
You can find this book on Amazon where you can learn all you'll ever need to know about Essiac tea and cats. Our Genuine Essiac was the featured brand in her book since it checked all the boxes of being authentic Essiac by the author. As cat owners ourselves, we were tickled to be featured in this book.

The Very Same Essiac People Use is Used for Cats, Too.
We believe in Essiac so much that we give our own animals Essiac tea when they need it. Read about my cat Maggie and how she miraculously overcame Stage 4 Lymphoma here. And with Genuine Essiac tea, you're sure to be getting a brand that uses the Rene Caisse formula.
Countless cats have successfully taken our Essiac tea over the years. The Essiac suggested serving size for pets are our personal recommendations based on over 30 years of experience in the Essiac tea business. It's also based on the information from Rene Caisse was passed down to us through Dr. Charles Brusch.
If you can't get all the servings into your cat, simply try your best. Some is always better than none when it comes to giving Essiac tea to your cat. Every serving counts.

When Our Cats are Sick, It's All We Can Think About.
Cats are near and dear to the heart of any family who owns them. When they aren't well, it affects everyone. We worry about our pets when they aren't feeling well and life is much better (...and much less expensive...) when they are happy, healthy and well!
Finding something that helps your cat without coming along with side effects is what every pet owner wants.
- That's why Essiac tea is the first thing that many pet owners reach for when their animal needs help.
- It's recommended to combine veterinary care along with Essiac Tea, especially when it comes to getting a diagnosis.
- Essiac tea is not contraindicated with any medication your vet may prescribe to your pet, and you may give Essiac and medications to your feline at the same time as you give the Essiac tea if you like.

Here Are the Suggested Serving Sizes for Essiac Tea When You Wish to Improve Your Cat's Health.
If your pet weighs up to 15 lbs.
START WITH 1/4 oz. of tea twice per day. 1/4 oz. is 7 mL if you are using a dropper. If tolerated well, work up to 1/2 oz. of tea twice per day.
If your pet weighs 15-35 lbs.
START WITH 1/2 ounce twice per day. If tolerated well, Work up to 1 ounce twice per day. 1/2 oz. is 14 mL if you are using a dropper.
Why do I need to build up to the number of servings?
Because cats have a shorter digestive system than humans, they can be more likely to experience diarrhea. If you start out with a lower serving or frequency as noted in the chairt and build up over time you will have a better chance of the pet adapting to a higher amount without unnecessarily distress. However, keep in mind that diarrhea is rare in cats due to Essiac, and should only last a few days at most.
Giving Essiac Tea to a Cat: A How-to
You can see how you can give Essiac to a cat using a syringe in this video.
- You can also add the Essiac to a broth that your cat may lap up.
- Be sure to use enough broth to make it taste good to the cat.
- Make sure the broth is free of garlic and onions, as those can be toxic to cats.
- Mixing up the flavors can help prevent your animal from figuring out what you're doing 😂
- You may strain the sediment out from the Essiac tea rather than giving it to you cat along with the tea. The extra fiber doesn't offer nearly as much benefit to cats as it does for people.

Important Note on Giving Essiac to Cats
You'll experience best results when giving Essiac tea to your cat when the tea is given on an empty stomach. However, the empty stomach rules don't seem to be as important for animals as they are for people. We often found that our cat would go to her food bowl right after taking her Essiac tea -vand she still recovered just fine. That said, if you can keept the servings away from food that is the recommended method.
- If you need to mix the Essiac with something to get your animal to drink it's that's fine and still counts as "empty stomach." Tuna or other fish tends to work well for cats. If you need to use a large quantity, consider a low sodium brand.
- If you need to mix the Essiac tea with your pet's food in order to get your animal to take it, that is far better than not giving it at all. All you can do is your best.
- Some people use an eye dropper, syringe or a turkey baster to administer the Essiac on an empty stomach, especially with cats. You may need to swaddle the cat and be sure to provide it slowly enough for him or her to have time to swallow it.

The Problem with Capsules and Tinctures
Capsules and tinctures are not as potent as the brewed tea and we do not recommend giving them to your cat. However, if it comes to a capsule or tincture of Essiac tea or no Essiac at all, then sure, go ahead with the capsule or tincture for your feline friend. The other benefit of using the tea is you will know the product is free of additives and preservatives.

"My Basenji, Toula, was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer tumor that was removed and that usually doesn’t respond to treatment and she was given 3 months survival. That was the beginning of December, and we are at a solid 2 1/2 months and she hasn’t had any further tumor development, and she does not feel sick. She actually drinks her tea twice a day with a tiny bit of cat food mixed into it. I am hoping for more quality time with her."

"I wanted to tell you about my cat Gampa. He's 13 years old. He's been on Essiac for three months now. He almost died a couple of times. The Genuine Essiac Tea has brought him back. He's got a mass in his ear, and it's cyclic. It'll get big, then it'll go down and he almost died twice now. The herbs are working. You can see that it's working on him. It's amazing. It's a miracle.
I also wanted to say that the the Essiac eight herb is so much better than the four herb because I did have one cat die from not it didn't react well with the four herb from Canada. Their prices are way too high. Their shipping is ridiculous. And this Genuine Essiac, it's working. I've got cats, that one cat that's in her late twenties, so I know about cats. I think you're gonna find that this Genuine Essiac is the way to go. You won't find it any cheaper. It's very reasonably priced. It's a great, great product for pets."

"After my husband was (as it -- thank God! -- turned out falsely) diagnosed with prostate cancer, in 2011, we investigated alternative treatments and learned about Essiac Tea. We, then, both took drank the tea and found it beneficial for our bladder problems. After using different brands, we came upon yours and found it the best and the cheapest. So we have been buying it ever since (not only for us but also for gifts to friends with health problems).
We have (presently) 28 (rescue) cats. Two of them had been suffering from metastasized cancer for over half a year and were more dead than alive by August 2013. That's when we thought of Essiac Tea as a last resort. Both cats improved within days (even hours) and recovered within 3 months. They are still with us. Our vet declared the recovery of these cats a miracle. He is also a strong believer in Essiac Tea. His wife (who is still alive) took it when she had cancer, 10 years ago.
A 3rd, very old, cat, diagnosed with a large tumor in her belly, in Sept. 2013, was also put on Essiac Tea. She is also still with us and symptom-free. We had been a bit worried about giving her the tea because it contains sorrel, which is said to be hard on the kidneys, but we just had her blood checked again and her kidneys were found to be stable.
(We suspect that the kidney-warning about sorrel originates with the French, who overdose with sorrel, eating it as a vegetable.)
If you are interested in the whole story of our metastasized-cancer cats (who had relapses, within 2 days, whenever the tea serving size was lowered or discontinued, and improved again, also within 2 days, when they were back on the full serving size of the tea), please let me know. I have the detailed story already written down and have sent it to several Goodreads friends, 2 of them suffering from cancer, 1 of them the author of the book "How to Kill Cancer Cells". (This book also mentions Essiac Tea.)
We have been spreading the word of our experience with Essiac Tea to neighbors, friends, and acquaintances, always recommending your company and giving your web address. This is probably the best we can do for humans and animals as long as we are alive."

"My 14 yr old cat was so ill last month, falling to one side, lost 50 percent of her weight, would not eat much. I googled her symptoms--looked like cancer. Took her to the vet-removed a few teeth, I was told she should be better in a day or few...when she recovered she ate but a day later she began to act ill as before. I knew she was dying/had cancer.
I ordered the tea, from another site, it took a week for shipping...she was just like before surgery, 6 pounds which was down from 15--she continued and I thought she might pass before the tea arrived. After giving her the tea-one day later, she began to eat, day two she perked up, not losing her balance, day three she began to travel through the house, and then, well within 7 days she was jumping in a box wanting to play--I almost lost it--I was so happy!
I take it too. She thought she was going to die--began to hibernate off by herself. I researched Essiac Tea testimonies--I read one that experienced the same but I did not know if it was truth. Now I know it was a true testimony. Three weeks now and she seems normal. I have researched natural healing alternatives for two yrs-heard of Essiac, but really how can tea heal-o my goodness - IT DID. GOD SAID MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. I fasted for her, and I think God put the info on Essiac in front of me--All healing is from above. Glory to our God."
