Essiac tea has an interesting history dating back to the early 1920’s in Canada. Rene Cassie was a nurse who, following the advice from an old Native American Indian medicine man, formulated a tea that she dispensed from a cancer clinic in Ontario. She had support from the medical profession, in particular Dr Frederick Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin. Essiac tea has become widely known for its remarkable ability to boost the immune system and detoxify the body. I have followed the original recipe and used Burdock root, which is an effective blood purifier that neutralizes and eliminates poisons from the body. Sheep Sorrel contains a natural substance that research has shown to have significant anti-leukemic activity. Slippery Elm is well known for its soothing and healing properties and Turkey rhubarb root has been shown in research to have anti-tumor activity. It is diuretic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. In blending the organic herbs to the original Essiac recipe I have used the milled root to enable you to make the tea as an infusion rather than boiling it as a decoction. (*See original boiling directions below) That means you can make my blend by adding a teaspoon of the herbs to a teapot and pouring over boiling water. It makes it very easy to manage. Milling the roots does not detract from the potency so you can be assured that the organic herbs used in the Essiac tea you purchase are just as potent whether boiled as a decoction or brewed as an infusion. (An infusion is what you make when you put a tea bag in a cup with hot water) This tends to extract vitamins and volatile oils from leaves and flowers. A decoction is used to extract these components from hard materials such as roots, bark or seeds by boiling and then allowing herbs to steep for several hours. Original directions: Do not use an aluminium pot or unfiltered, chlorinated water. Add 15gms (1 tabs) of herbs to 1.5 litres of pure spring water. Boil for 10 mins, then steep for 12 hours (overnight). Heat up the tea to steaming, bot boiling (Do not boil twice). Strain the tea into hot sterilized jars and allow to cool. Refrigerate once it has cooled. Filter through a fine sieve. the Slippery Elm gives the tea a slight viscous consistency when poured. If you do not notice the "slippery" consistency after refrigerating your tea, you may be using a sieve that is too fine. Herb particles in your Essiac tea will settle to the bottom of the jar and the pulp can be used for healing poultices. Some people drink the dregs, some give it to their pets as a health food. Drink 30ml of herb tea diluted in 30 or 60ml of water, taken first thing in the morning and at bedtime. Not: Essiac tea is a mild colon cleanser. Nurse Cassie’s story is well worth looking up as she had support from some very eminent medical people. Ingredients: Burdock root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm powder & Turkey rhubarb.

A simple herbal tea with the main ingredient, Oatstraw, which is a nerve tonic. Mixed with Peppermint for a delicious creamy flavour and the herb, Yarrow, which can help with the circulatory system. This is a herbal tea that may help settle the restless legs feeling.

I’ve been drinking this tea for 18 months now and I just don’t get restless legs anymore. I drink it once a day after work but more sometimes because I like it. Highly recommend it.” Thanks Keith.

This herbal tea may assist with a range of urinary issues, including prostate disorders and cystitis. The Epilobium soothes the bladder, Pau D’Arco is anti-fungal and anti-septic and the Saw Palmetto and Siberian Ginseng can soothe the kidneys. May be helpful for urinary urgency and to reduce frequent night time bathroom visits. The main ingredient I have used in the Prostate tea blend is Epilobium which has a very interesting story. When I designed this tea blend, I took the lead from renowned Australian herbalist, Hilde Hemmes. It was through a German herbal book that Hilde made the connection between the herb Epilobium and prostate issues suffered by many men. The prostate gland is found only in men and by the age of 50 years it is estimated that nearly a third of men will experience some symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Prostate enlargement is the most common prostate disorder but when this develops into prostatitis, which is inflammation, it can become a very serious health issue. A great endorsement for this herb is by some very prominent Australians who have used it and sung its praise, including Bob Jane, the motoring magnate, Pro Hart, a renowned artist and best of all, Smoky Dawson, one of Australia’s living legends, who wrote a song extolling the efficacy of Epilobium. Other ingredients in this tea are Saw Palmetto, another herb that can help with decreasing the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, Pau D’Arco, an anti-fungal herb, which is also anti-inflammatory and helps to boost the immune system and Siberian Ginseng which helps to soothe inflammation in glands, including the prostate gland. Replacing caffeinated drinks with this tea and drink it once a day will make a significant difference. These herbs are a tonic so they can help in many ways.
