In the 1920s, a Canadian nurse named Rene Caisse developed a recipe (possibly inspired by the Ojibwa Nation’s traditions) containing slippery elm bark, sheep sorrel leaves, and the roots of burdock and Indian Rhubarb. This recipe, called Essiac Tea, has long been used to help patients fight off cancer and several other serious diseases, including diabetes and AIDS. The ingredients contain a number of potent anti inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, and its components also have diuretic, antimicrobial and organ-protecting properties as well.
Key Takeaways:
- Essiac Tea, invented by a Canadian nurse, includes Burdock, Indian Rhubarb, the bark of the Slippery Elm, and Sheep Sorrel leaves.
- Burdock and Sheep Sorel both have anti inflammatory and diuretic effects that can help reduce symptoms like fever and swelling.
- Slippery Elm’s mucilaginous traits can help soothe digestive ailments and protect organs from chemo damage.
