From traditional use among Canada’s indigenous population to widespread
popularization by Canadian nurse Rene Caisse to being used and disputed in
Canadian clinics and universities, Essiac has seen it all.
Although the traditional knowledge and history of Essiac have their place and importance, we are now entering an era of Essiac as an evidence-based herbal remedy.
This is exactly what makes Essiac so hard to characterize—it’s a bridge
between the old and new. Herbalism fans tend to be distanced from modern
Essiac research while people taking an evidence-based approach tend to be
wary of its “alternative” label.
By acknowledging Essiac’s past and diving deep into the science behind it, we are able to see this remedy for what it is:
a complex herbal formulation with tremendous health potential.
