How It Works
This product provides all of the herbal essence of the original Native American Essiac Tea formula that gained popularity in the mid-1900s. Components within Essiac Tea have been used traditionally to soothe the digestive tract and detoxify the blood. Traditional preparation of this tea requires a 10-hour brewing and steeping process, but Nature’s Sunshine offers the same herbal combination in convenient capsule form.
Our non-GMO, vegan blend features a concentrated extract of the herbs Rene Caisse made famous in the early 20th century. And with all of our natural supplements, we pride ourselves on quality and sustainability. For example, our turkey rhubarb from China is grown for two to three years before it is harvested. This ensures optimal potency and reduces waste.
