Flor • Essence® An Invaluable Inheritance

From native tradition to the realm of modern herbal therapy, few natural health formulas can share such a worthy lineage:


Rene Caisse, R.N.	Dr. Charles Brusch, M.D.	Elaine Alexander

In 1922, Canadian nurse Rene Caisse received the recipe for a powerful cleansing tea used for generations by the Ojibway Natives. This unique eight herb formula would profoundly affect her and thousands of patients. Rene researched in perfecting this herbal formula over many years together with her partner the eminent Dr. Charles Brusch M.D. at his Cambridge, Massachusettes clinic. In 1988, the late Dr. Busch formerly personal physician to President John. F. Kennedy passed the rights to this enhanced herbal formula to his close friend Elaine Alexander, the noted Canadian radio producer/broadcaster and health researcher. Elaine's long dedication to researching this work prompted Dr. Brusch to pass this formula along to her. Subsequently Elaine Alexander selected Flora to manufacture and market this unique herbal tea blend formula.

In June, 1992, in collaboration with Elaine Alexander, Flora began preparing and distributing the powerful detoxifying herbal formula known as Flor • Essence®. Its popular effect in preventing or eliminating a host of chronic conditions has rapidly spread throughout the herbal community.

Flor • Essence® is the only version of this product on the market authorized to carry Elaine's signature on the packaging and instructions to vouch for its historical authenticity.

The Science of Flor • Essence®

Research has shown that even those undergoing conventional medical treatments demonstrate many positive results with this tea. A literature review conducted by the University of Texas Center for Alternative Medicine Research (UT-CAM) identified 107 references on the principal herbs used in Flor • Essence®. Participants in the University of Texas survey reported feeling and coping better, increased energy and reduced symptoms after treatment with Flor • Essence®. Recent clinical research conducted with the Russian Ministry of Health revealed that Flor • Essence® helps boost the immune system and is an effective treatment for chronic gastrointestinal ailments. A study conducted by the University of British Columbia in Canada found Flor • Essence® to possess powerful antioxidant properties.

The Flor • Essence® Herbal Tea Blend

The Flor • Essence® Herbal Tea Blend has been used extensively for over 100 years and for a variety of reasons. Flor • Essence® consists of eight premium quality medicinal herbs that work synergistically to create a unique and powerful product.

	Burdock root has antitumor properties and can reduce cell mutations. Active ingredients include 45% inulin, essential oils, vitamins and a broad array of minerals. Traditional Chinese medicine considers burdock root to be strengthening and cleansing.
	Sheep Sorrel breaks down tumors and provides oxygen to tissue at the cellular level. It also provides strong immune support. Sheep sorrel has a long history of traditional use as an astringent, diuretic and laxative.
	Slippery Elm bark helps soothe the digestive tract because it contains large amounts of mucilage. This bark is especially noted for soothing inflammatory irritation.
	Turkish Rhubarb root helps detoxify the bowel, cleanse the liver and fight tumors. The root helps to normalize bowel movements and is considered a safe and effective laxative.
	Red Clover has been used to treat degenerative diseases. Research shows that red clover combats bacterial, viral and fungal infections. It is a blood purifier that facilitates the elimination of toxins and waste through the skin, kidneys and bowels.
	Blessed Thistle helps digestion by increasing the flow of gastric juices, thereby relieving dyspepsia, indigestion and the headaches associated with liver congestion.
	Kelp contains an abundance of minerals. This marine plant is a great source of iodine, which helps regulate energy levels. The alginates found in kelp have many beneficial effects, the most important of which is gathering and removing heavy metals from the body.
	Watercress is a rich source of chlorophyll, vitamins A and C, and many minerals, including iodine. It has been used traditionally as a detoxicant and restorative.
