FloraFlorEssence Dry Tea Blend, Gentle Detox & Cleanse, 2.2 Oz

Good product and used it easily during hot weather for ice tea.

I've been suffering some fairly severe health issues for the last few months, due to adrenal depletion. In my research on this, I've discovered that fatigued adrenals can overload the liver and gallbladder. Well, recently I realized that my adrenals are much stronger than before, so something else was amiss, resulting in my feeling fatigued constantly. When I developed a lipoma on my calf, I figured my lymphatic system was congested. I bought a liver detox kit and used it for a few weeks, but I didn't really notice any results.Then I found websites talking about essiac tea. I had never heard of it, but people were making some pretty remarkable claims about it. As per usual, I immediately came to amazon to see what people here had to say about it (I feel confident that the reviews here are authentic). When I typed in "essiac tea" in the search module, it brought up Flor Essence. This product had terrific reviews, and I'd read how great it is for detoxing; so I figured, what have I got to lose?People claim that it has cured their cancer. I can't make a comment on that, because as far as I know, I've got no cancer. But after taking this tea for a few days, I can definitely state that it seems quite potent medicinally. I've been taking 2 oz. of the brewed tea with 2 oz. hot water, 3 times a day. The third day I started feeling the typical flu-like symptoms of detox, and by day 4 I woke up feeling like a truck had hit me. My allergies and chemical sensitivities got really bad. I had a lot of sinus congestion. I could feel this stuff working. It's been a little over a week now, and it's still working great. I think the worst of the detox is over. I also started taking milk thistle and quercetin with vitamin C, and I think those supplements are assisting in the detox.Also, my boyfriend who never really thought he had digestive tract issues started taking this tea, just to maintain his health. Within a few days, he started seeing some nasty stuff (i.e. Candida, etc) come out in his bowel movements. So I guess this tea is also terrific for actually killing any parasites one may have. I can't say that it will do so for everyone, but he and I are both having success with the tea. We even recommended it to his parents to try and are telling our friends about it. It's not difficult to brew at all. After reading reviews where people said it was hard to do, I expected it to be grueling. It really doesn't take that long to prepare. Most of the time is spent allowing the tea to brew overnight. When I make the tea, I'd say it takes me about 30 minutes in the evening and about 10 minutes the following morning.If you're looking to detox, give this a go. Don't increase the dosage beyond the recommended amount (as I'm apt to do, because I always want to speed things up!), because if you do, you'll feel awful. But this day in age, I think it's all vital that we complete a detox every few months or so. Our bodies simply have yet to catch up with the toxin overload created by the modern world. I've tried a few detox remedies, and this one, by far, is my favorite. I intend to use this tea for a very long time, if not for life.

Wow, this product is Heaven sent. It has sooooo many virtues that it is worth Googling them. I used it on myself and my pets. They even tell you the dosage for pets! I cannot remember if the info is inside the box or on their website.I always keep a box at hand for myself or my pets (here is where I am amazed with the results).Awesome product, indeed. I highly recommend it.

I just whipped up my first batch of this tea last night so I cannot comment on the benefits as of yet, but I thought I might be able to save myself and everyone else some money in the future. By a rough estimate, it would be 183x cheaper to make this tea blend by yourself. I did the math:If you were to buy 1lb organic bulk packages of each of the 9 herbs included in this blend off Amazon, you would spend approximately one hundred and fifty nine dollars (I researched the prices on 3/11/14).So 9 1lb bags = 4082 grams totalEach Flor-Essence tea blend contains 1.3 grams4082 grams / 1.3 grams per tea blend =3140 tea blends that you can make yourself159 dollars / 3140 tea blends = (five cents) per tea blendVSFlora Flor-Essence(27 dollars & 45 cents) / 3 packets = (9 dollars & 15 cents) per tea blendThat's 183x cheaper!!Keep in mind that this is just a rough estimate, however, since the blend does not contain equal amounts of each of the 9 herbs. As with any ingredient list, the ingredients are listed in descending order of predominance. So, you'll actually end up using more burdock root than you will red clover blossom, for example. Either way, you will still be saving yourself a TON of money by making the blend yourself, especially if you plan on using it long-term. I plan on doing that myself once I finish this box.I will come back and add to my review once I get a chance to try out the tea for 1 month.For now, though, I can say that as others have mentioned, despite straining the mixture twice as per directions, you still end up with quite a bit of sediment in the tea. It's not a big issue, especially since it settles to the bottom, but thought it was worth a mention.

The product came as expected very quickly. It was easy enough to brew it up and The taste was pleasant to me because I like herbal things. I was not aware that it wasn't safe for people with kidney problems, considering it is a cleanse product. There are no warnings for this on the pictures of this product on Amazon. In the directions it says not taken if you have kidney disease. I've never had a diagnosis of kidney disease but I do struggle with pain in them from time to time. I had terrible kidney pains after taking a couple doses of this tea. Please read the warnings and do not take this tea if you have kidney problems you will be in pain. I'm really bummed because I was looking forward to all the health benefits of the cleanse. Also I suggest only taking the 2 oz serving I think I may have gone a little bit more because I didn't measure it out. This stuff is pretty strong and it is important to follow the directions!!! I'm hoping it can help other people without kidney problems! Also it is non-returnable so you are stuck with it if you get it and can't use it. Hopefully you can pass it on to someone else who can use it.
