A Guide To Essiac Tea

What Is Essiac Tea?

Discover the history, ingredients, and traditional benefits of Essiac Tea — a herbal blend used for immune support and detox. Learn how it works and where to buy it online.


What Is Essiac Tea?

Essiac Tea is a traditional herbal formula that has been used for generations to support overall wellness. It combines four powerful botanicals — Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm Bark, and Indian Rhubarb Root — into a synergistic blend originally used by the Ojibwa people of Canada.

The tea gained popularity in the 1920s when Canadian nurse Rene Caisse began using it as part of her wellness practice. Since then, it has become a staple in natural health communities for its reputation as a gentle, plant-based immune and detox support remedy.


What Are the Ingredients?

Each herb in the Essiac blend offers unique traditional benefits:

  • Burdock Root – Traditionally used for liver support and as a natural antioxidant
  • Sheep Sorrel – Known for its gentle detoxifying properties
  • Slippery Elm Bark – Often used to support digestion and gut lining health
  • Indian Rhubarb Root – A natural cleansing herb that supports regular elimination
