Essiac Tea Just Like Rene Caisse Made

* THE GOLD STANDARD OF ESSIAC HERBS *

We provide the highest quality, certified organic, US-grown Essiac Tea Herbs in the world and we have the proof to back up that claim.  You may have already searched the internet to find the correct Essiac Tea formula & recipe and have become confused by all the conflicting claims by herb companies.  We reveal the truth about Essiac Tea with documentation and videos on our Essiac Circle of Friends website. 

We have over twenty years of experience using Essiac Tea, growing Essiac Tea herbs and have conducted extensive research to separate fact from fiction.  Unlike other companies we provide full disclosure as to how we grow, weed, harvest, dry, powder, process, package and store our herbs.  The center photo above shows our field in North Idaho with sheep sorrel just beginning to bloom in May.  The background photo shows a close up of just our sheep sorrel leaves.

Who Was Rene Caisse?

Nurse Rene Caisse (pronounced "Reen Case") developed the Essiac Tea formula from a native American "medicine man" tea for cancer.  She called it "Essiac", which is her surname spelled backwards.  However, it gained a reputation through a hundred years of use that Essiac Tea was not just effective for the prevention and treatment of cancer--It is a foundational herbal tea that covers more health issues than any other single tea! 

Unlike some herbal teas, if made correctly Essiac tea has a pleasant taste and people can drink it on a regular basis to improve their health. 

     What Is the Correct, Documented Essiac Tea Formula?

We have provided the only legal documentation here that reveals the correct Essiac Tea formula which must contain Burdock root (Arctium lappa), Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella, all plant parts but especially the leaf and root), Slippery Elm inner bark (Ulmus rubra) and Turkey Rhubarb root (Rheum palmatum tanguticum).  We have also provided the Essiac Tea documentation in our video "Sheep Sorrel Roots in Essiac" here and on our Essiac Circle of Friends video section page.

We do not alter Rene Caisse's official documented formula in any way whatsoever.  We do not add other herbs that are not in the documented formula that Rene was using at the end of her life after fifty years of scientific research, clinical trials in her Bracebridge, Ontario Cancer Clinic and personal, hands-on care with cancer patients.  Other companies add other herbs such as kelp, thistle, goldthread, red clover, etc, which were not part of Rene Caisse's documented formula and recipe.  As Rene Caisse stated:  "If it works, don't change it."

Sheep Sorrel Leaf & Roots

Rene Caisse stated in her letters to Dr. Chester Stock of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center:  "The herb that will destroy a cancer is the dog-eared sheep sorrel, sometimes called sourgrass.  The entire plant must be used."  She also stated that sheep sorrel roots were "very essential" to the Essiac formula.  Therefore, if sheep sorrel roots are not included, it is NOT Essiac tea.  We are the only company that includes certified organic sheep sorrel roots in precise percentages and that adheres strictly to the official, documented Essiac Tea formula.

Sheep sorrel leaf is also very essential to the Essiac Tea formula and it must be the primary component of the total sheep sorrel content.  The leaves are harvested in the spring whereas the roots are harvested in the fall, but the root content should not exceed 25% of the total sheep sorrel content.  We will explain why that is important as we build this new website. In the meantime we have all of our information about Essiac Tea on our Essiac Circle of Friends website.

Sheep Sorrel Leaf & Quality

American farmers are no longer growing sheep sorrel so herb companies import it mostly from Bulgaria and Croatia.  The official Essiac recipe calls for powdered sheep sorrel which normally is green.  However, the sheep sorrel from these foreign countries is brown, not green.  It is dead plant material that offers zero health benefits.  We are the only company offering certified organic GREEN sheep sorrel grown in the United States.  It must also be hand-harvested because sheep sorrel leaf grows too close to the ground for farm machinery to cut. 

Sheep sorrel is very labor-intensive to grow so real Essiac Tea costs considerably more than the fake "Essiac" herbs.  Like most everything else, you get what you pay for.  Click on our "Essiac Quality" page for detailed description of how we handcraft our Special Blend Essiac Tea Herbs with quality control every step of the way from farm to final packaged product.  Essiac is only as effective as the quality of each herb and no one does it better than the Essiac Circle of Friends.
