Rene Caisse brought an ancient remedy into modern use
The original formula is thought to come from the native Canadian Ojibwa Indians. The nurse Rene Caisse learned of the natural herbal formula directly from these indigenous people. Rene Caisse had great feeling for suffering people. As a caring and compassionate nurse she desired her legacy to reflect her life's endeavour to make this herbal tea available to any who might need it. It was popularly referred to as Essiac (a reversal of her surname). Rene treated people at her clinic for over 40 years without charge.
The four main herbs that make up the tea are Burdock Root 84g, Slippery Elm 16g, Sheep Sorrel 64g and Rhubarb Root 4g.
