Yes it is very true and I just need to share my family's experience about this wonderful herb! My 2 cousins who had endometrial (stage 3) and cervical (stage 4) cancers were advised by my mother who was a herbalist to take periwinkle tea using its roots (OVER BITTER!!! ) at least for 3 cups a day or as much as they could and after 6 months their cancers went down to stage 1 after a year they were completely healed. It's been 20 years now and both my cousins are very healthy and still maintaining to drink their teas regularly. KUDOS to Periwinkle...

Would like to try this as I have been on a high alkaline raw diet for 7 years and have held diagnosis of Non-Hodgkins Low-grade lymphoma at bay. Would like to try the periwinkle root tea. However, would also like to know how periwinkle is poisonous? Serrell :)

Rosy Periwinkle is a noteworthy medicinal herb, much more so than the other Vincas, though they also have a few medicinal qualities.Of the three different Periwinkles , Madagascar or "Rosy" Periwinkle is by far the most important plant medicinally, generating hundreds of millions per year in the pharmaceutical industry as a promising addition to the arsenal against childhood leukemia, Hodgkin's Disease, testicular cancer and cancerous tumors, high blood pressure, and uncontrolled bleeding, not to mention the fact that it has powerful tranquilizing properties. Unfortunately, this plant can also be poisonous if used inappropriately. Historically, Rosy Periwinkle has been used to treat high blood sugar in diabetics, and many cultures still drink teas made out of the plant for this purpose. I really want to say that it has worked on me and now my FATHER inlaw....But as the saying is what's good for the goose, might not be good for the gander.

Hi Richard, You can find Periwinkle in your local garden center and it will grow well in a pot or in a shady spot in your yard. Common names can trip people up, so you want to make sure you search images of Vinca Minor before you purchase it, as that is the species EC is referring to in it's herbal remedy section. As to how the tea is prepared, I can offer no experience there. Vinca minor tends to naturalize easily across the US, and it is coming into bloom, so that if you study the images online, you can probably find it growing abundantly, possibly beneath a tree, in someone's yard in your area. Best of luck to you in this.

Hi,

Was just reading everyone's experience with the magical Periwinkle and it seems like I should try it too. My dog has been detected with liver cancer. The day we heard this we all were devastated. That's when my mom she told me about periwinkle and its benefits, however I do not know how to give him as a supplement. Can anybody suggest a way I can give him or if I can add something like honey or any other alternative? Please help me the amount of dosage as well, would be of a great help to me and my family.

@Vinita,

Whether or not you use Vinca for the dog's liver cancer, you should be giving it a bit of Milk Thistle powder AND Turmeric powder, daily. Both will heal and protect the liver from further damage and help fight off the cancer.
