The Story Behind E-Tea

E-Tea represents Nature’s Sunshine’s commitment to preserving traditional herbal wisdom in modern, convenient form. This remarkable formula captures the essence of Essiac tea, a legendary herbal blend that traces its roots to Native American tradition. The original recipe was shared by an Ojibwa medicine man with Canadian nurse Rene Caisse in the early 1900s, who then dedicated her life to studying and sharing this herbal combination.

Traditional preparation of Essiac tea requires a complex 10-hour brewing and steeping process, followed by careful straining and refrigeration. Nature’s Sunshine has transformed this time-consuming preparation into convenient capsules that deliver the same herbal benefits without the extensive preparation time. Each serving provides a concentrated extract equivalent to 2 ounces of traditional tea.

Four Powerful Herbs Working Together

E-Tea combines four carefully selected herbs, each bringing unique properties to this traditional blend. Burdock root has been valued across cultures for centuries, with traditional use spanning China, India, Europe, and North America. This versatile herb contains natural compounds that support the body’s cleansing processes and provide antioxidant benefits.

Sheep sorrel, despite being considered a common weed by many, has been treasured in herbal medicine for its rich vitamin and mineral content. Traditional practitioners have used this tangy herb to support digestive wellness and overall vitality. The aerial parts used in E-Tea contain beneficial compounds including vitamins, minerals, and natural antioxidants.

Slippery elm inner bark brings its renowned soothing properties to this formula. Native American tribes valued this herb for its mucilaginous compounds, which provide gentle support for the digestive system. The inner bark has been used traditionally to maintain healthy mucous membranes throughout the body.

Turkey rhubarb root completes this synergistic blend with its traditional use in supporting healthy digestive function. This herb has been incorporated into Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, where practitioners valued its ability to support the body’s natural cleansing processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the history behind E-Tea and Essiac tea?

E-Tea is based on the traditional Essiac tea formula, originally shared by an Ojibwa medicine man with Canadian nurse Rene Caisse in the early 1900s. The name “Essiac” is actually “Caisse” spelled backwards, honoring the nurse who dedicated her life to studying this herbal combination. Nature’s Sunshine has made this traditional formula accessible in convenient capsule form.

How does E-Tea compare to traditional Essiac tea preparation?

Traditional Essiac tea requires a complex 10-hour brewing and steeping process, followed by careful straining and refrigeration. E-Tea capsules provide the same herbal combination in concentrated extract form, with two capsules equaling 2 ounces of traditional tea. This eliminates the time-consuming preparation while maintaining the herbal benefits.

Why should this be taken on an empty stomach?

Taking E-Tea on an empty stomach allows for optimal absorption of the herbal compounds. Without food present, the digestive system can more effectively process and absorb the concentrated herbal extracts, ensuring you receive the maximum benefit from each serving.

Can I open the capsules and make tea instead?

Yes, you can add the contents of 2 capsules to 4 ounces of hot water to create a tea. This provides flexibility for those who prefer liquid preparations while still benefiting from the concentrated extracts contained in the capsules.

Are there any precautions I should be aware of?

This product contains Turkey rhubarb, which requires certain precautions. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you’re pregnant, nursing, have any medical conditions, or take medications. Do not use if you experience diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain, as this product may worsen these conditions. It’s not intended for prolonged use.
