Essiac Tea For Children: What You Need to Know

Essiac Can Be Given to Children. Just Be Sure to Give Them the Appropriate Serving Size for Their Weight 

SUMMARY

Essiac Tea is 100% safe for kids; however there are some modifications that must be made from the adult serving sizes depending on the child's weight. Since Essiac tea is a longer, slower detox than a lot of options, it's a natural choice to give to children and a very well-respected one. 

➡️ To order: Mini packets are great if you are only giving the tea to a child under 85 lb., while the Best Value Collection will be a better deal for you if the whole family is taking it.

 

Essiac Tea for Children: Serving Size Guidelines

Here is a guide to the best Essiac Tea serving size for children. These guidelines come from Rene Caisse via Dr. Charles Brusch.


If your child weighs up to 15 lbs.,
USE 1/2 oz. of tea twice per day.

If your child weighs 15-35 lbs.,
USE 1 oz. of tea twice per day.

If your child weighs 35-55 lbs.,
USE 1 1/2 oz. of tea twice per day.

If your child weighs 55-85 lbs.,
USE 2 oz. of tea twice per day.

If your child weighs 85-110 lbs.,
USE 3 oz. of tea twice per day. 

If your child weighs 110 lbs. or more,
USE 3 oz. of tea three times per day. 

 

Potential Effects to Be Aware of

• Sometimes the child might experience loose stools when first using Essiac. This is a good thing as it is helping expel what should not be there in the digestive tract.
• However, if this effect is too uncomfortable, feel free to start with a smaller serving size and after a few days or a week gently increase to tolerance.
• This effect is normally short-lived and certainly should not be uncontrolled diarrhea - it is usually just an increased frequency in the need to use the bathroom.
