Professional Grade Essiac Tea — Highest-Quality Herbs

To find out who we are and why our herbs are superior to others, please click on the About Us, Growing Methods and Harvesting Roots buttons above. Click here to read about our Essiac Herb Quality.
We follow the same Essiac formula that was used by Rene Caisse after fifty years of research including her clinical research with the herbs in Bracebridge, Ontario.
Rene Caisse stated that sheep sorrel roots are “very essential” to the Essiac formula. We provide a choice between 10% or 25% sheep sorrel roots in proportion to the total sheep sorrel content. Click here or on the Essiac Affidavit button above to see a certified copy of the only verifiable, legal evidence of Rene Caisse’s Essiac formula.
We are the Essiac Circle of Friends and we do it right!

SPECIAL BLEND ESSIAC TEA
Buy the highest quality herbs to make Essiac tea in your own home — Just like Rene Caisse made!
We also offer our Essiac Tea Herbs to health professionals.
~~~~~~
Our Essiac tea herbs are packaged in heavy-duty, double-sealed foil stand-up pouches to protect the herbs from light, moisture and air degradation.
Instructions for making and taking Essiac tea are included with each package and here. The tea should keep in the fridge for about three or four weeks. The instructions include herbs to water ratios for making from one quart to one gallon of the tea at a time, so you can make up only as much as you expect to use within the shelf life time. The herbs in their dry form will remain potent for more than a year, if properly stored in a cool, dry, dark place (a pantry or kitchen cupboard usually suffices).
If you are unfamiliar with making the tea, you can watch our videos below:

SHEEP SORREL ROOTS
There are only a few websites that claim they include sheep sorrel roots in their Essiac herbs. However, an unethical company could only add a pinch of powdered sheep sorrel roots to a pound of sheep sorrel leaf and legally say that the roots are included. Obviously, such an insignificant or small amount of root will have negligible effect health-wise.
Therefore the only ethical way to prove that roots are included is to state the exact percentage of roots in relation to the total sheep sorrel content and disclose with pictures how the roots are separated from the top of plant. Essiac tea should contain at least 10% sheep sorrel roots. That translates to a minimum of 1.6 ounces of roots in every pound of sheep sorrel herb.
Standard farm machinery cannot accurately separate the roots from the tops. This can only be done by hand in a labor-intensive, time-consuming effort. Therefore it is very expensive to grow and harvest the roots. Due to the high labor costs and smaller root size sheep sorrel roots are more than twice as expensive as ginseng or goldenseal roots. However, it is not practical or affordable for an organic farmer to employ many workers to hand-trim the roots from the aerial part of the plant. For this reason you will not be able to find a credible sheep sorrel root supplier on the internet. It is simple economics.

Consequently, there are plenty of cheap “Essiac” imitations on the internet. They are cheap because they do not add sheep sorrel roots (in spite of what they may claim on their website). Since Rene Caisse stated that sheep sorrel roots are “very essential” to the Essiac formula, they are falsely claiming it is Essiac.
If sheep sorrel roots are not included in sufficient amount, it is not Essiac.
We are aware of at least one Essiac website that fraudulently claims to have included sheep sorrel roots. Therefore they do not tell you how they grow and harvest them and show pictures of their operations like we do.
Also, several websites claim that Essiac tea has eight herbs instead of four. This is false information that has been disproven with legal documentation from Mary McPherson and Sheila Snow. Click here for more information about these eight-herb teas.

SHEEP SORREL LEAF
By far, the most time-consuming, labor-intensive task is to constantly keep up with weeding all through spring, summer and fall. We have to be very diligent about this and when it comes to sheep sorrel we have to get down on our hands and knees and pick out the weeds individually as they begin to grow and they never stop coming up. This keeps our high-quality sheep sorrel leaf free of other plants so you know you are only paying for sheep sorrel. This also adds to the cost of our Essiac products. Here is why high-quality sheep sorrel LEAVES are so important: “Essiac Tea & Oxalic Acid“
We blend together all parts of the whole sheep sorrel plant in a special way. We cut the leaves separately before flowering in our Special Blend Essiac tea. The leaves grow too close to the ground for modern machinery which cuts into the dirt. First, the leaves must be free of weeds before cutting.
We harvest them carefully with electric shears on hands and knees to avoid cutting into the dirt. Later, the flowers bloom on their stalks so we harvest them, too, because the flowers have medicinal value as well as some oxalic acid like the leaves. We then thoroughly dry the sheep sorrel roots and leaves, powder them in our hammermill and then blend them together in specific ratios of 10% roots and 25% roots.

* 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.
