The four Essiac herbs
The original essiac decoction is a blend of four - herbs in certain proportions.
- 35% Sheep Sorrel (leaf, stem, root and seed)
- 54% Burdock Root (and seed)
- 9% Slippery Elm bark
- 2% Turkey (or Indian) Rhubarb
Some manufactures add other herbs, such as Kelp, - Milk Thistle, Red Clover, and Cat's Claw, among others.
However, ask your nutritional consultant if the - essiac brand you are purchasing contains irritating or stimulating herbs. You
- need to know, because these types of additives cannot be safely taken every
- day, whereas brands without stimulating or irritating additions can be safely
- taken every day. Each of the original four herbs has been used for hundreds, if
- not thousands of years. Unlike many herbal formulations, these herbs have no
- irritating effect as used in this formula. General properties of each herb are
- listed here.
Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella) - - Carotenoids, a component of Sheep Sorrel, are present at a concentration of
- approximately 8 - 12%. Beta carotene (a strong antioxidant member of the
- carotenoids) is converted to Vitamin A in the liver. Vitamin A has been shown
- to strengthen the immune system by aiding production of white blood cells.
- White blood cells are what attack many of the body's harmful intruders,
- including cancer.
Sheep Sorrel is rich in Vitamin A, B complex, C, - D, K, and E. Its minerals include significant levels of calcium, iron,
- magnesium, silicon, sulphur, zinc, maganese, iodine, and copper.
Sheep Sorrel is also rich in chlorophyll, which - increases oxygen content in the blood. High levels of blood oxygen can increase
- the body's action against many invasive conditions. Research at the Linus
- Pauling Institute and a M.D. Anderson Cancer Hospital has shown chlorophyll
- enhances the body's immunity against certain carcinogens (cancer-causing
- substances) and has been shown to strengthen the immune system. According to
- these studies, it appears to be effective against chromosome damage -- which is
- considered to be a precursor to cancer.
Sheep Sorrel is rich in potassium oxalate. It - aids digestion, and has been reported to relieve stomach hemorrhage and
- jaundice.
The whole plant and seed are included in our - formula.
Burdock Root (Arctium lappa) - - This herb is the best known for its beneficial effect on the skin. It
- increases circulation to the skin and helps to detoxify (cleanse) the epidermal
- tissues. Many users report exceptional beauty and glow of the skin from its
- use. "Some of the conditions which may benefit from the root are:
- psoriasis, eczema, acne, boils, sties, carbuncles, ulcers of the
- stomach..." Similar to garlic, the root has been reported to destroy
- bacteria and fungus cultures. Anti-tumor properties have also been noted.
- Nagoya University researchers in Japan found that the root helps reduce cell
- mutations.
Another beneficial feature of this root is its - action as a "blood purifier." This term means the formula helps
- eliminate toxins for the blood and lymphatic system. Its action is also
- reported to work on the respiratory and urinary systems. The liver, gall
- bladder, kidneys, and digestive system benefit from the properties of Burdock
- Root. It may also help with elimination of excess fluids from the body.
Burdock Root is rich in vitamins B-complex and - E. Its trace minerals include potassium, phosphorous, chromium, cobalt, iron,
- magnesium, silicon, zinc and sodium.
Because of its diuretic action, conditions of - arthritis, rheumatism, and sciatia may be improved. Many users report a rapid
- decrease in swollen ankles even if the condition hasn't responded well to other
- treatments.
Burdock Root contains inulin (not to be confused - with insulin) which helps regulate sugar (glucose) in metabolism. Diabetics may
- be helped and Inulin has also been shown to possess exceptional restorative
- properties. It increases immunity by improving the efficiency of white blood
- cells.
Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmus fulva) - This herb's main constituent is mucilage. - Mucilage is a gum dissolved in the bark's juices. This material has
- extraordinary cleansing properties. It has been reported to reduce the pain of
- ulcers--the mucilage coats any area it passes through. Slippery Elm Bark has a
- lubricating property which helps protect membranes linings and joints. Relief
- of inflamed areas is commonly reported. An antibiotic and anti-microbial effect
- has also been reported along with an ability to remove toxins from the body.
Turkey Rhubarb Root (Rheum palmatum) - This root has been used in China for more than - 2,000 years! Turkey Rhubarb has impressive detoxifying properties, especially
- for the liver. The root also has antibiotic, anti-microbial, and anti-tumor
- properties. Although the original formula called for Indian Rhubarb Root (Rheum
- officianale), that particular variety typically can't be obtained in the USA
- without chemical contamination. Turkey Rhubarb is a good substitute.
