Essiac (Cancer and Immune Formula)
$42.95
Suggested usage: Drink 2 oz. in the morning and 2 oz. before bed. Ingredients: sheep sorrel, rhubarb, burdock root, slippery elm. NOTE: Only available in 8 ounces.
Essiac® contains a combination of herbs, including burdock root (Arctium lappa), sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella), slippery elm inner bark (Ulmus fulva), and Turkish rhubarb (Rheum palmatum). The original formula was developed by the Canadian nurse Rene Caisse (1888-1978) in the 1920s ("Essiac" is Caisse spelled backwards). The recipe is said to be based on a traditional Ojibwa (Native American) remedy, and Caisse administered the formula by mouth and injection to numerous cancer patients during the 1920s and 1930s.
