Essiac: A Four-Herb Cleansing Tea with a Long History

This tea goes back to the 1920s, when the Canadian nurse René Caisse learned a blend of four herbs from a patient, who had it from an Ojibwe medicine man. She spent years refining it and named it “Essiac,” her own last name spelled backward. Newer six- and eight-herb versions have appeared since, but the original four-herb version remains the standard, carried forward through nearly a century of use.

It is one of the best-known blood-cleansing blends in herbalism, a combination of roots and bark that supports the body’s own cleansing through the blood, the lymph and the digestive system. Many members use it as part of a broader healing program, including through a serious illness and alongside other treatments.

What Essiac Contains

The four herbs work as a team. Burdock Root and Sheep Sorrel do the heavy lifting of cleansing the blood and lymph. Turkish Rhubarb Root supports digestion and elimination, moving the waste out instead of letting it circulate back. Slippery Elm soothes and protects the digestive tract while the other three do their more stimulating work.

  • Burdock Root, 6½ cups (cut). A blood cleanser and digestive aid, and the largest share of the blend.
  • Sheep Sorrel, 1 pound (powdered). The herb most closely tied to the original formula, with a cooling, cleansing action.
  • Slippery Elm Bark, ¼ pound (powdered). Dr. Christopher said it is so nutritious it will sustain life itself. It coats and calms the digestive tract.
  • Turkish Rhubarb Root, 1 ounce (powdered). A small amount to stimulate digestion and keep elimination regular.

This makes 8 quarts of dry mix, enough for 2 gallons of tea; cut everything in half for one gallon. Mix the herbs well and store the dry mix in a glass jar in a dark, dry place.

Brewing the Tea

Use stainless steel or cast iron to cook it, and glass or ceramic to store it. Use 1 ounce of the dry mix for each quart of distilled water.

  • Put the herbs and water in the pot and simmer, covered, over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Take it off the heat and scrape any herbs on the sides back down into the liquid.
  • Let it sit for 12 hours.
  • Bring it back to a simmer.
  • Strain into hot, sterile jars, and keep the tea in the refrigerator.

How Much and How Often

  • For general cleansing and immune support: 2 ounces once a day.
  • For more serious or long-standing conditions: up to 3 ounces, three times a day.

Warm the tea or add it to hot water before drinking. Like any deep cleanse, it does its best work as part of a fuller healing approach: as much whole, organic food as possible, sunshine, and stepping away from the toxic food, household products and habits that may have helped bring on the trouble. Using the tea while keeping the same habits that caused the problem isn’t the way to get the most from it.

Cleansing the Liver and Gallbladder, and Clearing Parasites

This formula has two jobs. Its bitter herbs stimulate, cleanse and protect the liver and gallbladder, and its strong herbs rid the body of parasites. It is a core part of my liver flushing program, and it rarely works alone; most of the stories I hear back are of it working alongside the digestive tonic for fast relief of an upset upper digestion.

Bitter herbs get the digestion going and encourage the liver to release more bile, and that flow of bile is what cleans both the liver and the gallbladder.

What a Good Liver and Parasite Formula Contains

A good formula for the liver, gallbladder and parasites might contain these ten herbs:

  • Milk Thistle Seed, 8 parts. The main ingredient by far. It coats and protects the liver while supporting its own healing.
  • Oregon Grape Root, 3 parts. A bitter root that supports the liver’s cleansing work.
  • Gentian Root, 2 parts. One of the classic bitter roots, stirring up digestion and the flow of bile.
  • Wormwood, 2 parts. A bitter herb long used for its strong action against parasites.
  • Chaparral, 2 parts. A desert shrub long used as a strong internal cleanser.
  • Black Walnut Hulls, 1 part. A classic parasite herb, alongside Wormwood.
  • Dandelion Root and Leaf, 1 part. A classic bitter liver tonic.
  • Garlic, 1 part. For its own action against parasites and its cleansing.
  • Ginger Root, 1 part, and Fennel Seed, 1 part. Warming, soothing support for the digestion.

“Parts” can be any measure you like, as long as you use the same one for every herb. By weight, that’s 8 ounces of Milk Thistle, 3 of Oregon Grape, 2 each of Gentian, Wormwood and Chaparral, and 1 each of the rest.

Putting It Together

Put the dry herbs in a glass jar and pour in 80-proof vodka. Once the herbs have settled, you want about 60% herb sediment on the bottom and 40% liquid on top. Shake the jar every day. The traditional timing follows the moon, from the new moon to the full moon, about two weeks. I prefer to let my extracts sit a full three months, which makes them good and strong. Then strain and bottle the liquid.

How Much and How Often

  • With a liver flush: ½ teaspoon every 3 hours.
  • For reflux, gas and bloating, or an upset stomach: 2 teaspoons together with 2 teaspoons of the digestive tonic. The digestive tonic post walks through each situation.

The Cleansing Tea I Drink Every Day

Of everything I use, this tea might be what I drink most faithfully. It’s a cleansing tea, fifteen herbs that support the blood, the liver and the kidneys, but it genuinely tastes good, hot or cold. I don’t treat it like medicine I have to choke down. It’s simply my daily beverage of choice, and it has become that for many of our members too.

I think of the herbs I use in three groups. The strongest are the detoxing herbs. Next come the nutritional formulas that target one system. The gentlest are what I call Herbs for Life: food-type herbs taken every day as a habit, not because something is wrong. This tea belongs with those, the same way I take my apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and Cayenne every day.

What a Good Daily Cleansing Tea Contains

A good everyday cleansing tea might contain these fifteen herbs:

  • Dandelion Root, 2 parts. A classic bitter root for the liver and gentle daily cleansing.
  • Burdock Root and Pau D’Arco Bark, 1 part each. Blood and internal cleansers.
  • Juniper Berries, Uva Ursi Leaf, Horsetail and Parsley Root, 1 part each. Support for the kidneys and urinary tract.
  • Ginger Root, Cinnamon Bark, Clove Bud, Cardamom Seed, Fennel Seed and Black Peppercorn, 1 part each. Warming spices that aid digestion and make it a delicious tea. Black pepper also helps the body make better use of the other herbs.
  • Licorice Root and Orange Peel, 1 part each. Natural sweetness and a bright citrus note.

“Parts” can be any measure you like, as long as you use the same one for every herb. By weight, that’s 2 ounces of Dandelion Root and 1 ounce each of the other fourteen.

Brewing the Tea

  • The overnight way: put 1¼ cups of the dry tea in a pot with a gallon of cold water and let it soak overnight. In the morning, heat it just to boiling, take it off the heat and let it steep at least 15 minutes. Strain, and pour over ice or drink it hot.
  • My coffee-maker shortcut: grind the dry herbs to a fine powder and keep the powder in the freezer. About 2 tablespoons brews a full pot in a drip coffee maker; use the strongest setting if yours has one. In a reusable single-serve pod, fill it only about half full, since the herbs swell. I run the same herbs through twice, and the two cups over ice make a 2-quart pitcher.

How Much and How Often

Drink it freely through the day. Most of the members who have made it a habit keep a pitcher in the fridge.

Eleven Herbs for a Deep Blood Cleanse

When the blood carries too heavy a load of toxins and waste, it shows up all through the body: in the skin, in the joints, and in that overall run-down, unwell feeling.

A good blood-cleansing formula brings together a whole team of alterative herbs, the herbs that help the body clean its own blood. Each brings its own strength, from cleansing to circulation to gentle elimination, and together they clear the buildup, keep the bowels moving it out, and feed the organs that do the clearing.

This is a formula I reach for during a cleanse, and as a second blood and liver cleanser for two groups in particular: those who are allergic to nuts, and those dealing with an active skin condition. Both benefit from extra help clearing the blood.

What a Good Blood-Cleansing Formula Contains

A good blood-cleansing formula might contain these eleven herbs:

  • Red Clover Blossoms, 2 parts. The lead herb, a classic blood purifier and the traditional base of blood-cleansing blends.
  • Chaparral, 1 part. A Southwestern desert herb long counted among the strongest blood purifiers there are.
  • Burdock Root, 1 part. One of the best-known blood purifiers and skin-clearing herbs.
  • Sarsaparilla, 1 part. A blood purifier and tonic, rich in minerals.
  • Oregon Grape Root, 1 part. A liver and blood cleanser, similar in action to Goldenseal.
  • Stillingia Root, 1 part. A Southern alterative long used for the skin and the blood.
  • Poke Root, 1 part. A cleansing herb for the lymph and the blood.
  • Cascara Sagrada, 1 part, and Buckthorn Bark, 1 part. Bowel tonics that keep elimination moving, so the waste being cleared actually leaves the body.
  • Prickly Ash Bark, 1 part. A circulation herb that carries the formula through the bloodstream.
  • Licorice Root, 1 part. Soothing and gentle alongside the stronger cleansing herbs.

“Parts” can be any measure you like, as long as you use the same one for every herb. By weight, that’s 2 ounces of Red Clover and 1 ounce each of the other ten.

Putting It Together

Put the dry herbs in a glass jar and pour in 80-proof vodka. Once the herbs have settled, you want about 60% herb sediment on the bottom and 40% liquid on top. Shake the jar every day. The traditional timing follows the moon, from the new moon to the full moon, about two weeks. I prefer to let my extracts sit a full three months, which makes them good and strong. Then strain and bottle the liquid.

How Much and How Often

  • 2 droppersful (about 70 drops) four to six times a day, for a week. This is the amount I use during a 5-day cleanse.
  • Mix it into a few ounces of grape juice to make it easier to take.
  • Drink 64 to 128 ounces of liquid a day while you’re using it, to carry the waste out.

For the strongest cleanse, used in our 5-day program and for the most serious cases, see A Strong Formula for Cleansing the Blood and Lymph.

A Strong Formula for Cleansing the Blood and Lymph

This formula carries one of my favorite pieces of history from this tradition. After one of Dr. John Christopher’s arrests, he was told never to use the word “cancer” again. Not long after, in a private conversation about Red Clover, Dr. Schulze told him, “I just can’t help myself. Red Clover is the antidote for cancer.” Chaparral carries the same kind of reputation, long credited as one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. I share these exactly as they have long been told within this tradition, as historical claims and not medical guidance. But they’re part of why this formula has the reputation it does.

This is the strongest blood and lymph cleanser I use, built on the same tradition as the famous Hoxsey Formula and Dr. Christopher’s Red Clover Tonic. Everyone on our 5-day cleansing program takes it, and it’s the core of the program for the most serious cases, where its whole job is to support the liver in clearing disease and built-up toxins out of the blood.

What a Good Blood and Lymph Cleanser Contains

A good formula for a deep blood and lymph cleanse might contain these twelve herbs:

  • Red Clover Blossoms, 2 parts. A core blood cleanser, prized in the old-time cleansing tonics.
  • Chaparral, 2 parts. A desert shrub long used in the Southwest as a strong internal cleanser.
  • Burdock Root, 1 part, and Burdock Seed, 1 part. Classic blood-purifying herbs, used for centuries alongside Red Clover.
  • Yellow Dock Root, 1 part. A liver and blood herb common in old-time cleansing blends.
  • Oregon Grape Root, 1 part, and Goldenseal Root, 1 part. Bitter roots that support the liver’s own cleansing work.
  • Poke Root, 1 part. Supports the lymph.
  • Bloodroot, 1 part. One of the historic herbs of the Hoxsey tradition this formula draws from.
  • Garlic Juice, 1 part. For its own cleansing and immune support.
  • Lobelia Seeds, 1 part. A relaxant that keeps the whole system moving.
  • Cayenne, 1 part. For circulation, carrying the other herbs through the body.

“Parts” can be any measure you like, as long as you use the same one for every herb. By weight, that’s 2 ounces each of Red Clover and Chaparral and 1 ounce each of the rest, with the garlic juice stirred into the extract.

Putting It Together

Put the dry herbs in a glass jar and pour in 80-proof vodka. Once the herbs have settled, you want about 60% herb sediment on the bottom and 40% liquid on top. Shake the jar every day. The traditional timing follows the moon, from the new moon to the full moon, about two weeks. I prefer to let my extracts sit a full three months, which makes them good and strong. Then strain and bottle the liquid.

How Much and How Often

  • For serious illness: ½ teaspoon every 3 hours.
  • For general cleansing: ½ teaspoon three times a day.

These herbs are strong, and strong-tasting. They are cleansers, not a gentle daily tonic, and they do their best work with a real cleanse: plenty of water, fresh juice and herbal teas through the day to carry out what they loosen. If you feel some nausea or an upset stomach, that can be the body’s cleansing response; back off the amount and give the body time to catch up.

Cayenne moves the cleansing out through the skin as well. If the skin is already carrying an extra load, as with eczema or psoriasis, or if you have a nut allergy, the eleven-herb blood cleanser is my second choice. It’s the same class of cleanser, without the Cayenne.

For Lymph Congestion

Because it cleanses the lymph, this formula is also my internal support for lymph congestion and blockage, such as lymphedema. For a swollen area, pair it with the Mullein and Lobelia salve laid on as a pack. I wrote more about that in Understanding Lymphedema.

The Detox Bath

A Simple Soak to Help the Body Release Toxins

Toxins and chemicals are all around us — in drinking water, in health and beauty products, in the materials used to build and furnish our homes. They’re unavoidable, though eating organically and choosing natural cleaning and personal care products goes a long way toward cutting back on the load. When the body is feeling lethargic or sluggish, or there’s a fog settled over the mind that won’t lift, a detox bath is a simple, low-effort way to help the body along in clearing some of that burden.

Why a Bath Works

A hot soak opens the pores and brings circulation to the skin — the body’s largest organ of elimination. Each ingredient in this recipe adds its own support to that process:

  • Epsom salt (or sea salt) draws toxins out through the skin while easing aches and pains.
  • Apple cider vinegar soothes and softens dry, itchy skin while helping balance and neutralize the body’s pH.
  • Bentonite clay stimulates the lymphatic system, helping it deeply cleanse the skin from the inside out.
  • A few drops of a favorite essential oil — lavender, geranium, sandalwood, or ylang ylang are all known for their own detoxifying properties.

The Recipe

  • 2 cups Epsom salt (or sea salt)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup bentonite clay
  • 5–10 drops of a favorite essential oil

How to Do It

  • Run the bath water as hot as is comfortable.
  • Add the ingredients above and agitate the water to help them dissolve.
  • Soak for 20–40 minutes.
  • Drink a full glass of water when finished, to help the body carry along what’s just been loosened.
A Word of Caution This bath can be genuinely tiring — plan to do it right before bed rather than before anything that calls for energy. A bit of a wrung-out feeling afterward is normal; most people wake up the next morning feeling noticeably clearer and more refreshed.
Cleansing & Flushing, Herbal Healing, My Opinion

Targeting & Clearing Toxic Congestion  

Nothing is more frustrating than to invest good money and time into a project just to discover what you are doing is making the problem worse.  When the project is healing or clearing congestion from the body the result is often more than frustration, it can also include added discomfort and pain. 

Knowing what herbal aids will do the work needed to clear an issue is only half the answer.  The body must also be prepared to move the waste out of the affected area for elimination from the body.  When there are any obstructions preventing the “die-off” from being removed the toxic waste will be reabsorbed causing pain and discomfort.  

When beginning any healing program the Liver and Kidney’s must be cleared with a good flushing program.  The Bowels must be open and working well.  The Immune system needs to be boosted ensuring that there are enough immune cells to deal with the “Die-off” that will be produced by the cleansing, healing, Herbal Supports.

Using the Salves, Hydrotherapy and herbal supports allow the congested areas to be saturated with the healing, detoxing herbal supports.  Flooding the damaged, congested areas with the nutrients to rebuild, heal, and strengthen speeds the detoxing, healing process.

Using the “First Week” Flushing programs the body will be enabled to clear the congested areas of the body allowing you to use the Salves and Herbal supports without the worry of a back-lash detoxing issue.

Clearing the Liver with an ELF will ensure the internal vacuum is able to pull the waste from every part of the body, clearing the toxins out of the system for elimination through the bowels.

Clearing the Kidneys will ensure these two filters are able to effectively clear toxins from the blood without the backup of puss and gravel which can cause, edema, painful joints, (urea crystals);  and not least of all, the blood pressure to be elevated.

During the healing process it may be necessary to repeat the ELF and Ultimate Kidney Flush several times.  Anytime the herbal supports that were working, stop working, its time to clear the Liver and Kidneys again. 

Keeping the bowels open and working well ensures all the toxins the Liver is dumping onto the bowels is being removed from the body.  If the toxic waste is reabsorbed while sitting around in the bowels waiting for elimination, this can cause flu like symptoms, which can manifest as a toxic headache, over body aches and inflammation.

The best advice when clearing any issue from the body is: Keep the Bowels open and working well, the Liver flushed, and the Kidneys clear with regular flushing.

Cleansing & Flushing, Getting Started, Herbal Healing

Week 2: Liver Flushing

The Liver Flushing week follows immediately after the first week of clearing the Liver and Kidneys when doing an intense detoxing program or the Incurables program.  The Liver Flushing Part of the detoxing program a more intense week of work than the Kidney Flushing week for most members. 

Remember to continue the FOUNDATIONAL parts of your program.  Using Your Echinacea, Superfood, Vit C Powder, Bowel Cleansing Capsules, and any of the Support herbal Formulas.  The suggested food program for the 5 days of the Liver Flushing week is a juice fast when possible.  This will provide the best nutritional support for the work you will be asking your body to do.

Hydrotherapy: Using hot and cold showers to increase circulation through the affected areas of the body is an essential part of the healing or cleansing programs.  Two or three times a day it is important of apply the Hot and Cold routines. 

Intense Hydrotherapy: for those healing major disease issues in the body the “Cold Sheet Treatment” should be done at least once each week.  IN some cases doing it daily or every other day is suggested.  Pick a day each week for your cold sheet treatment.  Detailed instructions for this very important healing tool can be found in the Hydrotherapy E-book

Ultimate Hydro-Therapy: The Cold Sheet Treatment

Practical advice on hot and cold showers.

Why is hydro (water) therapy so important to do?

Whenever there is disease or injury there is blockage. The blood is not flowing freely through the affected area. It does no good loading your blood with healing nutrients if the blood cannot get through the blockage and deliver its load of nutrients and oxygen to the affected area.

  • Hot water brings fresh blood to the surface.
  • Then the cold forces it deep.

The more dramatic the change between Hot and Cold, the deeper and harder the blood is driven through the blockage.

Think of it as though you are firing a blood bullet through the blockage. The hot water loads the blood bullet and the cold fires it. The more dramatic the change between hot and cold the deeper and harder the bullet is fired.

How long do you recommend a person stay in hot and cold showers?

When someone is dealing with a terminal illness, it is suggested they take a forty-five minute shower three times a day.

How long hot? How long cold?

A couple of minute’s cold and five minutes hot, and a couple minute’s cold and five minutes hot. Do about seven repetitions of that.

There are several ways to do your HOTS & COLDS.

  1. With a hand held shower head apply hot and cold water, as hot as possible and as cold as you can get it, to the diseased area.
  2. Take hot and cold showers. Stand under the flow of an over head shower and turn the knob to be as hot as you can handle, then all the way to cold.
  3. An Ice Plunge is done as follows: Take a hot shower then jump in a bathtub of ice-cold water, or water with 20-40 pounds of ice in it.

The purpose of these techniques is not torture. It is to BLAST blood into sick areas that are not getting enough blood. Until you do that, expect to stay sick.

Simple Rules

For those who are frail, use common sense and start slowly.

For instance, on babies, use warm water and cool water. Obviously, be gentle.

If you have a heart condition, start gentle with warm and cool. You don’t want to shock the heart when it is weak.

To get the most result, work yourself up to using as hot as you can stand it — without burning your skin — and as cold as you can get it.

Here are some hydro therapy procedures you can use on situations that commonly come up.

  • Ice Poultice for sore throat or swollen lymph glands in the neck area.
  • Cold Sheet Treatment for anyone doing the Incurables Program.

Clearing Heavy Metal Class

Dara Dietz

The Herbal Routine for Clearing the Heavy Metal issues from the body will be our discussion this week in our Zoom Class. Since this is not an extensive subject we will also discuss a few herbal supports for clearing pain issues from the body. All members of HEAL Assn are invited to join our class at 7pm EST every other Tuesday Night.

The Herbal Supports Suggested for clearing this issue are the bowel cleansing formulas, LBF #1 so the LBF #2 formula can be used during the healing process. A good Heavy Metal Combination consisting of Bugleweed, Yellow dock, and Lobelia, along with a Chaparral Extract. These herbal supports are excellent aids when used in conjunction with the Epsom Salts soak baths as detailed on the following info Sheet:

Here is an excellent routine for Naturally clearing Heavy Metal Issues from your body.

Day One of your healing Routines begin with the Foundational Programs
Bowel Cleansing, Boosting with Echinacea, Nutritional Support: Superfood.

BOWEL CLEANSING: Clearing the bowel and establishing good bowel movements can be done using the LBF #1 Capsules, then adding the LBF #2 powder, which is part of the Heavy Metal Healing Routine. A Good Vitamin C Flush is an excellent way to clear the bowels, getting a jump start on the bowel program. See links below for blogs with specific details on these two programs.

BOOSTING WITH ECHINACEA: This herbal support will allow your immune system to stay on top of the “die-off” created when detoxing the heavy metals from the body.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT: Providing the nutrition needed for the body to clear the waste and rebuild the damaged areas is vital. Massive amounts of nutrition are needed any time a healing program is embark on.

Once the bowels are open and the foundational programs are in place it is time to Support (prepare) the Liver & Kidney with a good flush before asking them to clear the toxins you will be dumping that they will need to filter and remove.

It is time to do an ELF and Ultimate Kidney Flush. The directions for these flushes are available by following the links below:

Once the foundational routine has been established, and the liver and kidneys supported, it is time to add the Heavy Metal Cleansing Routine as suggested on the info sheet below. Doing any healing program before preparing the system with the foundational routines can result in a detox crisis, because the body will not be equipped and able to deal with the toxins being processed out. Remember to: Cleanse & Feed

Irritability and Lethargy: Several years ago I was experiencing a number of minor health problems not the least of which were irritability and lethargy. I presumed they were caused by a buildup of heavy metals leaking from my teeth that had been recently filled with amalgam. I turned to the book I consider my herb bible School of Natural Healing and found a combination for heavy metal poisoning. I began taking the bugleweed combination [Heavy Metals Formula] in a tea form and with the very first dosage gained a surge of energy and emotional clarity. The joy of having sufficient energy stayed with me for several days. The herbs in this combination really stimulated a cleanse for my entire body. -G.W., Mesa, AZ
