What is Essiac?

Essiac is a Herbal Remedy derived from a Native American

Medicine Man’s unique formula by Rene Caisse, a Canadian Nurse.

Essiac can be made at home in your own kitchen using your own utensils.

Black Root Medicine

The Medicine Man’s Original Eight-herb Formula, created in 1893 for a patient with advanced breast cancer, passed on by the same patient to Nurse Rene Caisse, 1922.

Rene Caisse's Essiac Tea

Developed by Nurse Caisse, Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada, in response to a request by Dr. Robert Fisher in 1926 for a simplified but equally effective remedy.
