"I have very little yoga experience and so feared that I would be unable to keep up through the week. To my surprise, the yoga we experience was nothing like what I have seen before.

Essiac and Breast Cancer

Summary: 

Essiac has antioxidant activity and exhibits significant immunomodulatory effects, specifically through stimulation of granulocyte phagocytosis, increases in CD8+ cell activation, and moderately inhibiting inflammatory pathways. Essiac exhibits significant cell-specific cytotoxicity towards ovarian epithelial carcinoma cells (A2780).  A 20-fold dilution of Essiac showed significant inhibition of several CYP450 enzymes, most notably CYP1A2 (37%) and CYP2C19 (24%). Essiac demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of clot fibrinolysis.
