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.
