Some horse owners choose to include Essiac tea as part of their animal’s overall care routine. Essiac tea is commonly used as part of a general wellness routine to help support the body’s overall balance. Individual experiences can vary, and it’s always best to work with a veterinarian for any specific health concerns. Many people appreciate that it can be a simple, traditional herbal option to incorporate.
Note on the “empty stomach” guideline you may hear about:
Because of how a horse’s digestive system functions, maintaining an empty stomach isn’t always practical and may not be appropriate. Many owners choose to incorporate the tea into their horse’s regular feeding routine instead. If you have questions about what’s best for your horse, it’s a good idea to check with your veterinarian.
Essiac Tea For Horses: Serving Size Suggestion
The suggested serving size of essiac for a horse is 6 oz. of brewed essiac three times per day. Up to 9 oz. three times per day can be used as an extra strength serving size because horses are such large animals.
This tea is very easy to make. All you need to do is brew one gallon of tea once per week. The herbs come already mixed and and the brewing process takes just ten minutes. Please leave the powdered herb sediment in the mixture: do not strain it. Stir the mixture before pouring each serving.
The tea is stored in a refrigerator and is given cold. Most horses lap it up with no problem if you add it to their water supply. The herbs can be stored in a cool, dark place. There are no additives or preservatives in the Essiac herbs, ensuring that nothing harmful is given to your animal.
How Long to Provide Essiac to Your Horse
According to Rene Caisse's research, this tea can take up to six months to display an effect. Please commit to six months of continuous usage before deciding whether it's worth continuing.
Side Effects in Horses Who Take Essiac Tea
No side effects have been reported when using essiac tea for horses. You may notice an increased frequency of stool which is actually a positive effect. This effect typically lasts only a few days. Of course, monitor your animal's response. This is a tremendously safe product for horses.
Testimonials From Horse Owners
I gave the essiac to my horse as she had stepped on a nail and was dealing with infection. It took many months to become better and she still has a limp. We thought we were going to lose her, but we didn't. I hope Essiac had something to do with it :)
Thanks!

We have given it to pet owners for Parvo, horse laminitis and other ailments. Cured every time and these pets big and small were on death's door.
