Her work with this four-herb formula has been described as one of the most remarkable stories in the history of natural medicine. This is the exact same four-herb recipe used over a century ago — Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm, and Turkish Rhubarb Root — prepared and packaged exactly as Nurse Caisse intended, with organic whole herbs and no additives, fillers, or binders.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Burdock Root (\u003cem\u003eArctium lappa\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— A traditional blood-purifying alterative herb used across European and Asian herbal medicine for centuries, and the liver and lymphatic wellness anchor of the Essiac formula.

In the Essiac formula, Slippery Elm contributes its naturally occurring mucilage content, which soothes and coats the gastrointestinal tract, supports comfortable digestion, and provides a protective layer for the absorption of the other herbs.
