Essiac Tea Blend
DETOXIFYING – ALTERATIVE – LYMPHATIC CLEARING
Essiac Tea is a deeply earthy and purposeful blend that moves through the body with a steady, clearing intention. This traditional combination of roots, bark and herbs carries a strong alterative nature, assisting the body’s natural processes of elimination and renewal. It has an affinity for the liver, lymphatic system and digestive tract, where congestion, heat and toxicity may accumulate over time. There is a downward, drawing energy to this formula—cooling, drying and cleansing—supporting the body to let go of what no longer serves.
Traditional uses:
Lymphatic system – supports movement and drainage of stagnant fluids, assisting swollen glands and sluggish lymph.
Digestive system – bitter and mildly laxative, encouraging bowel movement and elimination of waste.
Liver & blood – traditional alterative action to assist detoxification pathways and support healthy blood.
Skin – used where internal heat and toxicity may express through the skin.
Inflammation – cooling and cleansing, helping to reduce internal heat and systemic burden.
Energetics:
Cooling, drying, downward moving. Bitter, astringent and slightly mucilaginous.
As a tea:
Add 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of freshly boiled water.
Cover and steep 10–15 minutes.
Drink 1 cup daily or as guided by your practitioner.
Ingredients:
Burdock Root (Arctium lappa) – A grounding, earthy blood cleanser that supports liver function and gently moves stagnation through the lymph and skin.
Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella) – A cooling, astringent herb that helps clear heat and dryness while supporting detoxification at a cellular level.
Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmus rubra) – A soothing, mucilaginous demulcent that coats and protects the digestive tract, easing irritation and inflammation.
Rhubarb Root (Rheum palmatum) – A strong downward-moving herb that stimulates bowel elimination and clears accumulated heat and waste from the system.
Caution:
Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Contains herbs with laxative effects—use with awareness in sensitive individuals.
Not suitable for long-term continuous use without practitioner guidance.
Caution with dehydration or existing digestive weakness.
