Origins of the Formula
The Ojibway
The Ojibway
have been described as having a knowledge of herbal healing and spiritual
powers as extensive as any other native American tribe. The medicine men
gained their knowledge of plants in several ways. It came in the form
of spiritual visions, intuition and thousands of years of observation.
Observing the behavior of ill and injured animals, they learned which
plants the animals consumed to heal themselves. From these sources as
well as guidance from the Great Spirit, Kitche Manitou, they amassed a
wealth of knowledge and passed it down from generation to generation.
The Ojibway believe
that al plants, as creations of the Great Creator, express their own unique
identity. They believe that each plant possesses an incorporeal being:
a spiritual substance that gives it physical form, growth potential and
healing powers. They also believe that plants have another remarkable
power, the power to combine and become a single "unified spirit,"
much more powerful than any of the plants individually. They feel this
"unified spirit" gives the formulas supernatural healing powers.
Not coincidentally, many modern herbalists believe the action of this
formula must be the "synergy" of these combined herbs, some
"magical" quality emerging when blended together.
Rene Caisse
In 1922, Canadian Nurse Rene Caisse received the Ojibway formula from
a patient. She used the herbal remedy many times over the next 50 years
and her work with it has been described as "one of the most remarkable
stories in all of medicine."
Her life and work
have been well documented in several books, as well as countless magazine
and newspaper articles, recounting numerous claims and testimonials from
people.
Exclusivity:
Some companies claim
to have the only recipe for the formula, but it is readily available. Dr.
Gary Glum published a biography of nurse Caisse entitled Calling of an
Angel (1988). He was given the formula by Mary MacPherson, a close friend
of nurse Caisse, and he sends the formula with his book. Likewise, the formula
was published in the book The Essence of Essiac by Canadian Sheila
Snow.
Our formula uses the same herbs and the same ratios as nurse Rene Caisse
recommended. |
| This
is the combination of herbs originally prepared by the Ojibwa Indians and
later used so successfully by the late Canadian nurse Rene Caisse. We call
this formula Native Essense™. and we prepare it using only the finest organic
quality herbs available. |

About
Native Essense™
Native Essense is available in the traditional dry herbal tea format as
well as a concentrated liquid extract. The Native Essense™
formula is carefully prepared using only the finestquality herbs. The
herbs used in this formula are always organically grown or ecologically
wildcrafted and will never be irridated or fumigated.
The
original formula
consisted of 4 herbs: burdock root (picked in its first year of life),
sheep sorrel (the whole plant), slippery elm bark (the innermost bark)
and Turkish rhubarb root. Native Essense is always prepared using these
herbs as listed above.
Throughout
its evolution, 4 additional herbs have sometimes been added to the original
formula. The addition of these herbs is based on the research of Dr. Charles
Brusch M.D., the personal physician to president John F. Kennedy. Dr.
Brusch worked closely with Rene Caisse for many years, and after 30 years
of testing and research, believed the formula to be perfected. These herbs
(watercress, red clover, blessed thistle and kelp) are added to enhance
the original formula. It is believed by some that these additional herbs
help bring out the full potential of the original herbs, which still make
up the heart and soul of the formula.
So
that you may make your own choice regarding these additions, Native Essense
is available in the original 4 herb formula (known as Native Essense original)
and also in the "enhanced" 8 herb formula (known as Native Essense
Plus). We make no recommendations with regard to these additions, and
since both formulas contain the original "essential herbs" as
traditionally prepared and proportioned, we believe either will be highly
beneficial.
