Essi-Organic was born from a deeply personal journey. Our founder, Rachel, has long been drawn to natural wellbeing, energy work, and a more holistic way of supporting health. With a background in working closely with animals and a deep respect for the body’s natural ability to restore balance when supported well, her approach has always centred around care, nourishment, and trust in the body’s wisdom. When Rachel was faced with cancer in 2024, she turned inward and toward a path that felt aligned to her values — one rooted in detoxification, emotional healing, and plant-based support. During that time, Essiac tea appeared again and again in her research, and she began incorporating it into her own daily routine as part of a wider wellness practice. As she explored further, it became clear that much of the Essiac available in the UK was either extremely expensive, lacking clear organic certification, inconsistent in quality, or incomplete in its use of the traditional plant parts — particularly sheep sorrel root, which is considered an important part of the original formula. The more Rachel learned, the stronger her commitment became to sourcing Essiac in a way that felt grounded in integrity, transparency, and trust. A Focus on Quality and Simplicity Rachel now works with Just Tea LLC, a long-established supplier producing and packaging the original 4-herb Essiac formula using: Certified organic herbs The correct plant parts, including sheep sorrel whole plant and root Carefully maintained traditional ratios Consistent preparation standards This partnership allows Essi-Organic to offer an Essiac tea that is rooted in tradition, supported by transparent sourcing, and aligned with the formula René Caisse chose to protect most closely later in her life. Our Mission Essi-Organic exists to make high-quality, properly sourced Essiac more accessible in the UK — without unnecessary mark-ups, exaggerated claims, or compromised standards. Our focus is simple: Organic integrity Responsible sourcing Simplicity and consistency Respect for individual choice What once supported Rachel on her own personal journey is now shared with care, clarity, and honesty for those seeking gentle, traditional herbal support as part of their own wellness path. A Note on Language and Guidance Because of the UK Cancer Act, we are not able to write about Essiac in relation to cancer or make medical claims. For that reason, the information we share through Essi-Organic is limited to traditional use guidance and general herbal information only. We understand that many people arrive here looking for deeper answers, especially when navigating something significant themselves or supporting someone they love. If you are under medical care, taking medication, or unsure what is right for you, we always encourage you to speak with a qualified healthcare professional. If you have practical questions, you are very welcome to email us. We’re happy to help with non-medical guidance such as brewing, storage, timing, and creating a routine that feels manageable and sustainable for you.
