Essiac Tea is a must-add to your herbal tea collection. This popular herbal remedy has been passed down for generations, from the Ojibwa tribe to a Canadian nurse and now, to you. Made from a potent mix of ingredients such as burdock, sheep sorrel, slippery elm, and turkey rhubarb, this essiac tea blend will help boost your immune system, remove heavy metals, and raise daily energy levels. 

Important Note: While we typically offer a fully organic essiac tea blend, our slippery elm is currently wildcrafted (sustainably harvested from its natural habitat) rather than certified organic. All other ingredients (burdock root, sheep sorrel, and turkey rhubarb) remain certified organic.

Made from the roots, bark, and leaves of four powerful herbs, brewed essiac tea is full of natural remedies. Burdock root is a cleansing herb that flushes toxins from the bloodstream and increases blood flow near the skin's surface, improving skin quality. Sheep sorrel whole plant including roots is another detoxifying herb that acts as a mild diuretic and laxative, helping to improve digestion, and also has antiviral properties. Slippery elm bark also contributes to digestive health, soothing the mucous membranes and supplying disease-fighting antioxidants to treat & prevent bowel diseases. And to top it off, another gentle laxative: turkey rhubarb root, which helps purge the liver of toxic buildup and waste. 

Our essiac tea blend is carefully sourced and crafted to ensure you receive the purest and most potent herbal combination. 

Note: The cut dried root of burdock sometimes appears 'cobwebby' due to the inner pith which can be very fibrous. This in no way affects the quality of this mix.

Key Benefits of Essiac Tea

• Rich in Antioxidants - The high concentration of antioxidants in the herbal blend helps combat oxidative stress, reducing the effects of ageing and likelihood of developing certain chronic diseases. 
• Anti-Inflammatory Agent - Many of the conditions that affect our gut & digestive tract are the result of inflammation. Each active ingredient helps reduce inflammation, reducing the likelihood of developing these conditions. 
• Boosts Immune System Response - Burdock root & sheep sorrel increase immune cell activity and stimulate antibody production, boosting your body's natural ability to fight off pathogens & infections.
• Eliminates Harmful Toxins - Essiac tea is a well-documented detoxifying herbal tea, as it stimulates the liver to process & remove toxins more efficiently. The result is higher energy levels and overall well-being. 
• Supports Gut & Digestive Health -  The gut is often referred to as your body's "second brain." But when it's filled with harmful substances, it's not nearly as effective, and impacts all of your mental & physical productivity. Essiac acts as brain food for your gut, keeping you sharp all day long.
