Essiac tea was developed specifically for treatment of stomach cancer. Original blend contained 1 pound of powdered Sorrel, 1 1/2 pounds cut Burdock root, 4 ounces powdered Slippery Elm bark and 1 ounce Turkey Rhubarb. It is available from several companies, with some variation.
Mullein tea is helpful if there is pain in the stomach. Slippery Elm gruel can be tolerated when the stomach won't digest food. Goldenseal root may slow the growth of cancer, speed healing and give relief from stomach and intestinal upset.
Maria Treben when suffering from stomach cancer took the juice of Nettle, Yarrow, Dandelion and Plantain.
