Why Essiac Herbal Capsules 500mg Works

➕ What is burdock root?
Burdock is a bitter root used for centuries in Western and Indigenous herbal traditions. It is the main herb in the formula and a classic alterative, meaning a herb used to support the body's natural elimination.
➕ What do sheep sorrel and slippery elm add?
Sheep sorrel is a leafy herb long used alongside burdock in cleansing blends. Slippery elm bark is a soothing demulcent that becomes gentle and smooth in water.
➕ Why Indian rhubarb root?
A small amount of Indian rhubarb root rounds out the formula. It has been used traditionally in herbal medicine for its gentle action on digestion.
