Essiac tea, for those unfamiliar with the name, is an alternative supplement traditionally used by people suffering from cancer, diabetes, chronic pain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lupus, skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis, and many other ailments including tinnitus and arthritis. Detoxification and general well-being are other reasons people have chosen to take our herbal tea.
Our tea may also safely be given to dogs, cats, and other pets.

This eight-herb formula comes to you fully blended and manufactured so that the ratios of herbs are consistent, no matter what size order you choose.
Our essiac comes from a trusted manufacturer who obtained the authentic formula from Dr. Charles Brusch many years ago and who mixes the herbs to perfect proportions, every batch.
The tea powder you receive from us is made fresh, sealed and labeled, then sent to you as quickly as possible, ready for you to brew at home.
The low price you receive is possible due to the large volume our manufacturer can produce. Your order is hand-packaged, to be sure it meets your specific needs.
You will get nothing but fresh, organic, North American herbs in our tea mix. The herbs are not radiated, and are free of chemicals and pesticides. The formula is mixed on a daily basis immediately before packaging.
This authentic formula herbal remedy contains no additives, preservatives, or other substances, just these eight herbs in a special combination: blessed thistle, burdock root, kelp, red clover, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark, turkish rhubarb root, and watercress.
What is now known as essiac is first believed to have been used by Ojibwe (also called Ojibwa, Ojibway, or Chippewa) Indian herbalists as a "tea of life" to be used for spiritual balance and body healing.
In the 1920's, a nurse in Canada named Rene Caisse obtained the traditional formula for the herbal tea, which she named E-S-S-I-A-C ("caisse" spelled backwards).
The first Caisse formula had only four herbs.
Rene had great success with cancer patients and others whom she treated with the tea, even though the Canadian government repeatedly tried to shut her down.
She tirelessly treated hundreds of patients with cancer and other ailments over the years, with encouraging results.
In the 1960's, Rene began work with Dr. Charles A. Brusch (a personal physician of President John F. Kennedy) in Massachusetts. Our formula comes directly from Rene's work with Dr. Brusch.
Rene Caisse worked on and refined the formula over the years until it finally contained the eight herbs we use today.
Some will say that the four herb formula is the only "true" blend; however, that is not the case. Neither is it true that the only "authentic" essiac tea is from Canada.
We are proud to offer our eight-herb tea to our customers around the world at a truly fair price, from a trusted manufacturer whom we have known personally for two decades, and who has been in the business for over fifteen years.
