Re: Is ojibwa tea legal?/Has anyone else used this?

[Guest guest]

C,

I am so sorry but ojibwa tea is illegal. It contains Slippery Elm and

burdock. Slippery Elm bark is illegal and so is burdock. Its chemical

composition contains inulin.

I have never tried it.

Below are some websites with information about its chemical structure.

All the best,Mimi

http://www.ojibwatea.com/uses/brew.htm

The original essiac decoction is a blend of four herbs in certain

proportions -- Burdock root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm bark and

Turkey (or Indian) rhubarb.

http://members.iinet.net.au/~essiac/xxburdoc.htm

The chemical composition of burdock (lappa), the roots of Arctium

lappa or other species, and pomaces obtained during the production of

burdock juice was determined.; The pomaces contained 11% proteins, ca

19% lipids and almost 34% inulin. Amino acids composition and the

nutrition value of the proteins from roots and pomaces were also

investigated. The results obtained indicate the burdock pomaces as a

source of inulin. (4 references)

We used Obijwa Tea for for 6-9 months a year or so ago. we felt

strongly about it at the time but after a while I think I just

chalked that up to being GFCF for that period of time. (It takes

about 8 months to get the gluten out of your system) But as earlier

stated...Not legal.

Thanks Mimi and for the info. I guess we won't be trying that

again.
