Essiac Tea

Traditional Blend: Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm Bark, Turkey Rhubarb Root

Also known as: The Healing Four, Detox Tea, The Rebuilder’s Brew

Brief History & Origin

Essiac Tea is the Formula of Deep Cleansing, Cellular Support, and Whole-Body Restoration, rooted in a traditional Indigenous Canadian healing formula that was later shared and popularized by Rene Caisse, a nurse who helped bring it to wider awareness.

The name “Essiac” is simply “Caisse” spelled backward, honoring her role as a guardian of this powerful blend. Traditionally, this tea has been used by those seeking support during serious illness, especially for cleansing the blood, strengthening the body, and restoring balance at a deep level.

Essiac is not a quick remedy—it is a process tea, one that works slowly, layer by layer, to clear, nourish, and rebuild. Spiritually, it represents renewal after depletion—the journey back to wholeness through patience, discipline, and faith in the body’s ability to heal.
