Essiac

Essiac® was discovered in 1922, when a patient spoke to Nurse Rene Caisse of a Canadian Ojibwa Indian herbal tea she took. Nurse Caisse eventually named the formula Essiac®, which is Nurse Caisse's name spelled backwards. She ran her clinic on Dominion Street from 1934 to 1942 and continued to give Essiac® to people until the late 1970’s.

Essiac® is sold in powder, liquid and capsules formulas. The Essiac® powder will need to be brewed and prepare the old fashion way. The Essiac® extract formula is ready and can be used easily. The new Essiac® capsule formula (vegicaps) are made of the same original Essiac® formula - but they are more convenient and stay fresher longer than the Essiac® liquid and powder formulas. Capsules can also be opened easily and added to juice or water. The 4 herbs used to manufacture Essiac® undergoes strict quality control tests.
