We produced the videos below to provide the correct and documented information about Essiac Tea. There is an incredible amount of disinformation on the internet about Essiac Tea so we hope our videos will bring out the truth about Essiac Tea in a positive and enjoyable way. Our videos on how to make Essiac tea are especially helpful as Essiac tea is made in a special way called a decoction.
The background music in our videos was composed and produced by Huckleberry, a long-standing member of the Essiac Circle of Friends.

VIDEO below: “What Is Essiac?”
Our short video about the history of Essiac and the documented Essiac Tea formula. Original background music composed by Huckleberry, a core member of the Essiac Circle of Friends.
VIDEO below: “Sheep Sorrel Roots in Essiac”
Our longer video that dives deeper into the actual documentation that reveals what the true Essiac Tea is and why sheep sorrel roots are “very essential” to the Essiac Tea formula.
VIDEO below: Making Essiac Tea by the Quart
Ingri Cassell, a clinical herbalist and long time Essiac Circle member, shows how she makes Essiac Tea one quart at a time.
VIDEO below: Making Essiac Tea by the Gallon
Michelle Mandolf shows how to make Essiac Tea a gallon at a time. A gallon of Essiac Tea will last about 3 to 4 weeks if one drinks it daily.
In this video Barbara Kokotsis, a friend of Rene Caisse and Mary McPherson, confirms that indeed Essiac Tea is a four-herb formula that does contain Sheep Sorrel Roots.
This is just the background music for our videos without any narration: “Ode to Rene Caisse” with female vocals & instrumental “Essiac Serenade” composed by Huckleberry.

* BUYER BEWARE! Most Essiac companies and herb suppliers are now obtaining Sheep Sorrel leaf from Bulgaria and Croatia and it is dead plant material and not even green! Therefore, most of the Essiac sold in the US now has little medicinal value for cancer patients. We are concerned that this may eventually give quality Essiac Tea an undeserved reputation for being ineffective against cancer. This may also give false hope for cancer patients.
This is why we place so much attention on how we grow our certified organic herbs and the extra effort and care we place on quality, even though our Essiac Tea Herbs cost significantly more than other Essiac tea providers. As the old adage goes: “You get what you pay for.” *

We do not sell nor are we associated with the trademarked (TM) or registered (R) “ESSIAC” products that are sold by other companies in Canada and the US. We only sell the herbs so that people can make Rene Caisse’s tea in their own homes. Rene Caisse never registered, patented or trademarked “Essiac” which was simply her last name spelled backwards and was originally derived from a traditional native American herbal remedy for cancer. The word “Essiac” was in common usage in the 1930s, decades before anyone tried to corner the market by “registering” or “trademarking” the word “Essiac”. Furthermore, we only use the “Essiac” formula which Rene Caisse’s best friend, Mary McPherson, officially entered into the public domain in a sworn affidavit in 1994 in Bracebridge, Ontario. This formula uses Turkey rhubarb root which is much more pleasant tasting than the Indian rhubarb products on the market (which is why Rene Caisse switched to Turkey rhubarb in her final Essiac tea formula). The HealthFreedom.info website has posted Mary McPherson’s “Essiac” formula affidavit here. This is the formula we use.
Twenty years ago HealthFreedom.info was the first website to obtain and publish on the internet a certified copy of Mary McPherson’s Essiac formula affidavit from the Town of Bracebridge, Ontario, thus settling the controversy over what Rene Caisse’s true Essiac Tea formula was.
We include sheep sorrel roots in all our Essiac Tea products at precise percentages. The percentages refer to the ratio of sheep sorrel root to the total sheep sorrel content in the formula.
