From what I have read, essiac must be used in smaller doses first, then built up. Also, it should NOT be used if there is any chance that insulinoma is an issue. Essiac increases the effectiveness of insulin, which is NOT what you want for a ferret with insulinoma. Unless you are sure about your ferret not having insulinoma, then you should reconsider the essiac.
His breathing problems could be anything from pneumonia to heart problems to allergic reactions to a reaction to the essiac.
You should read this link, especially the bottom where it discusses the therapeutic effects of essiac, as well as how to use it for ferrets:
