Only a few liquid ounces are required each day.  Since there is not scientific method currently available to discover the needed dosage, experimentation is required.  Essiac is non-toxic, so the worst that will happen in case of "over-dosing" is a temporary digestive disruption.  Continue to gradually work up the dosage until this occurs, then back off a half ounce to an ounce.<br />
