Description
E – tea is a special herbal blend inspired by the Ojibwa native American Indians of Ontario, Canada.
It is widely known for its remarkable ability to boost the immune system & detoxify the body.
The recipe for this herbal blend is a variation on the formulation by Canadian nurse, Rene Cassie, a nurse who followed the advice from an old Native American Indian medicine man.
In this recipe, I have used Burdock root, which is an effective blood purifier that neutralizes and eliminates poisons and toxins from the body.
Slippery Elm is well known for its soothing and healing properties. Slippery Elm is derived from an American deciduous tree and it can be helpful for inflammatory irritations, from a sore throat to urinary problems.
Turkey Rhubarb root has been shown in research to have anti-tumour activity. It is diuretic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial and can help to relieve constipation. It is medicinally more potent than garden rhubarb root.
Cleavers is a natural diuretic that can help to clear toxins from the lymphatic system.
Pau D ‘Arco is an anti-fungal herb derived from the bark of the Pau D ‘Arco tree, native to the Amazon forest in Brazil.
I have used the milled roots of Burdock and Turkish Rhubarb to enable you to make the tea as an infusion rather than boiling it as a decoction.
That means you can make my blend by adding a teaspoon of the herbs to a teapot and pouring over boiling water. It makes it very easy to manage. Milling the roots does not detract from the potency so you can be assured that the organic herbs used in the E – tea you purchase are just as potent whether boiled as a decoction or brewed as an infusion.
(An infusion is what you make when you put a tea bag in a cup with hot water) Infusion tends to extract vitamins and volatile oils from leaves and flowers. A decoction is used to extract these components from hard materials such as roots, bark or seeds by boiling and then allowing herbs to steep for several hours.
Nurse Cassie’s story is well worth looking up as she had support from some very eminent medical people, including Dr Frederick Bantin, the co-discoverer of insulin who offered Nurse Cassie research facilities to test her herbal blend.
