Essiac Tea Organic (Sold In Bulk)
Essiac Tea is a traditional herbal blend that has gained popularity for its potential health benefits. It was originally developed by a Canadian nurse named Rene Caisse in the 1920s, who is said to have learned the formula from an Indigenous healer. The name "Essiac" is simply "Caisse" spelled backwards in honor of her. The tea is a mix of four key herbs:
- Burdock root – Thought to have detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Sheep sorrel – Known for its high vitamin content and antioxidant effects.
- Slippery elm bark – Used to soothe and protect the digestive system.
- Turkey rhubarb root – Known for its mild laxative effect and potential digestive benefits.
Essiac Tea is often consumed as a detoxifying or cleansing tonic, with some people using it to support their immune system or as part of a holistic approach to overall health. It’s commonly used as a complementary treatment for various conditions, though it’s important to note that scientific evidence for many of these uses is limited, so it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider before using it, especially for specific health concerns.
The tea has a somewhat earthy, herbaceous flavor, which can be an acquired taste for some, but it’s often brewed as a hot infusion and sometimes sweetened or blended with other herbs.
