An Historical Indian Herbal Remedy

In 1922 an elderly patient in Northern Ontario, Canada was dying from old age and she related the following story:

In the early 1890's she had come from England to be with her prospector husband in Northern Ontario and one day she noticed a lump in her breast. They were worried, so her husband spoke to the medicine man of the local Ojibwa tribe, with whom he had made friends. The medicine man suggested that the wife drink the tea that the Indians made. Being sceptical, they decided instead to travel to the general hospital in Toronto to find out what the problem was. Once at the hospital, their worst fears were confirmed. She did have the serious problem they suspected. As usual the only recommended treatment available was surgery.

In 1892 the options were very limited. Being more sceptical of the procedure than the Indian remedy, they went back north and the wife started taking the herbal concoction. Within 2 months she began to notice a change and after a year of taking the tea daily, there was no sign of the disease and it never returned. The rest of it is now history.

Today, many people around the world are taking these wonderful herbs. They have been studied extensively and have a wide range of healing properties. The herbs in Esiak are burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm and Turkey rhubarb root.

Radiance Esiak capsules, based on a traditional Ojibwa herbal formula.
