Essiac tea - Tiredness in Dog

"Essiac tea - Tiredness in Dog

I had started giving my dog essiac tea for her cancer. I have read that it also is a detoxifier and can kill parasites. What I’m curious about is my dog seems more lethargic since I started giving her the tea and I was wondering if that’s because of the detoxification. Has anyone had any experience with this or has anyone else been more lethargic? I have also read that it will give you more energy. It has only been a week and a couple of days that she has been on it. Any insight anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated."

"Dear Melissa,

If the Essay is detoxing and/or killing parasites, it would seem quite likely to cause tiredness in your dog. You could try giving activated charcoal to your dog. It is easy to mix in food.

You will find dosing information on this page of Earth Clinic.
