We all know the things we should do to stay healthy. Experts say it takes 21 days to make something a habit. That means that with just three weeks of conscious effort, you can create a healing habit that will reward you in ways you haven't yet imagined. Every day, we perform our grooming rituals, scrubbing and cleaning to remove any and all traces of impurity from our bodies. The skin, being an organ of elimination, naturally performs this function, and would not have to expel as much toxic matter (in the form of boils, pimples, rashes or body odour) if the other organs of detoxification, such as the lungs, liver, kidneys and intestines, were functioning optimally. Consistent use of Flor•Essence can enable your organ systems to operate at peak efficiency, day in and day out. As foundational as a multivitamin, Flor·Essence is a powerful addition to your routine. A low daily dose keeps toxins and free radicals at bay, and gently supports your digestive and immune systems for optimal overall functioning. A higher dose can also be taken periodically as a restorative deep-cleansing regimen. The results will free you from many common complaints that you may have come to believe are normal. Once you get into the habit, taking Flor•Essence becomes second nature. What makes Flor•Essence® different? A very special kind of cleanse Flor•Essence is unlike any other cleansing formula or detoxifying kit. A blend of eight herbs, it is a very precise formulation with a synergistic effect that is much more powerful than taking the herbs individually. Its benefits have been proven time and time again - by the patients treated by Rene Caisse and Dr. Charles Brusch with the specific herbal formula that is now called Flor•Essence, as well as through several studies (in vitro and in vivo). Since Flora became the custodian of this historic herbal blend, many thousands more have experienced the effects of this cleansing tea. Much like a tonic, its effects are experienced over time. However, its subtle work begins immediately; the phytonutrients in the herbs are part of a matrix that the body recognizes as food, so they can be almost immediately absorbed and utilized. Flor•Essence does not provide an instant purgative effect; rather, with consistent use, its eight ingredients identify, gather and flush toxins out of the body. • Traditional aqueous preparation for maximum absorption The symptoms of toxicity don't happen overnight… Almost without even realizing it, many of us have come to think that these signs of an overloaded system are a necessary part of life. It simply isn't so. They may be common, but they are not normal. • fatigue Because the onset of disease is a progression, these symptoms tend to sneak up on us - until we wonder what it felt like to be free of them. Little by little… Too many toxins can overwhelm the body's normal elimination pathways (colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, blood and lymphatic system). Unable to get out, these wastes are deposited in cells and tissues, where they continue to undermine the body's ability to function effectively, leading to diminished energy and constipation or irregularity (a bowel movement less than once per day is cause for concern). Accumulation of toxins begins to cause damage at the cellular level. Rising levels of circulating and stored toxic material in the body cause both physical and emotional irritation: itchy or irritated skin, rashes, nausea, insomnia, mood swings. Inflammation occurs as a result of irritation in areas where toxins continue to accumulate; swelling is the body's attempt to isolate the irritants so they don't spread any further throughout the system. This stage is often accompanied by pain, and is a precursor to serious damage. Ulcers may soon follow, as stored toxins destroy the cells and tissue. Nerves become exposed and pain increases. To keep toxins from spreading outside of the ulcerated areas, the body fills in the ulcers with hardened tissue. This is the last stage where the body still has control of its cells. If nothing is done at this point, cells may begin to mutate, and then lose their naturally programmed ability to die, leading to uncontrolled growth. Free yourself! Everything is connected - air, water, earth, food, people. In this modern age, there really is no escaping the pollution we have collectively created. Flor•Essence will help the body do what the body has to do in order to balance and heal itself. Herbal Synergy Each of the eight herbs in Flor•Essence exhibits specific biological activity and boasts impressive remedial qualities in its own right: Burdock root (Arctium lappa), Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella), Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra), Watercress (Nasturtium officinale), Red Clover (Trifolium pratense), Blessed Thistle (Cnicus benedictus), Kelp (Laminaria digitata), Turkish Rhubarb root (Rheum palmatum). Together, in precise amounts, these eight ingredients become an entirely new entity unto itself, enhancing each other's benefits to create a powerful synergistic healing effect. For more information on the herbs in Flor*Essence click here to view a PDF Harnessing the full power of the plants More than 75% of the herbs in Flor•Essence are certified organic; the remainder are also sustainably grown in order to maximize nutrients and minimize chemical contaminants such as pesticides, insecticides or herbicides. In addition to using organic and non-irradiated ingredients, Flora is a certified organic producer and processor accredited by Quality Assurance International (QAI). This is further assurance that even the cleaning agents (e.g., certified organic alcohol) used on the production equipment are non-toxic.
Above and beyond Canada's Natural Health Products Regulations now require less stringent testing than we had previously practiced as a pharmaceutical-quality facility, but we have kept up our strict quality control and continue to perform equipment and process testing beyond regulatory requirements. In addition, by conducting our own tests as well as having third-party testing done, we go beyond the mandatory steps to guarantee the purity, quality and potency of all of our products, including Flor•Essence. As natural as can be Flor•Essence contains only full-spectrum herbs that have been neither refined nor fortified with 'active pharmaceutical ingredients'. This is as natural and traditional as it gets: naturally grown, unrefined herbs in all their glory, prepared as a tea. The water is filtered with activated charcoal and UV light to retain its naturally occurring minerals. To minimize oxidative damage, the herbs are dried at low temperature, stored cold and cut right before extraction. The raw plants are tested for identity, purity, and potency, as well as to detect contaminants. In addition to common sense examination (does it actually look like a plant? or is it old, dry and dead-looking?), highly sensitive tests are conducted in state-of-the-art laboratories: Thin Layer Chromatography, High Performance Liquid Chromatography, spectrophotometry and other chemical analytical methods. Did you know? Citric acid can be produced from microbial fermentation of sugar or as a byproduct of petroleum. The citric acid in Flor•Essence liquid is of the fermented variety. Not a preservative, its function is to act as an antioxidant and to lower the pH enough to prevent certain anaerobic bacteria from producing toxins. Consistent quality The quality and potency of Flor•Essence is guaranteed consistent without isolating specific 'active' compounds in the plants. We accept only plants that meet our criteria of seed selection, farming and raw material testing. Our manufacturing process is meticulously controlled, and we test the finished product to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Pre-production and final testing includes verifying that certain marker compounds are present; while we recognize that there are countless substances in any herb that contribute to its activity, it is crucial to perform chemical profiling and to quantify compounds that are commonly thought to be the active ingredients. Without them, the herbs would be weak and ineffective, and Flor•Essence wouldn't be as potent as thousands of people know it to be. Ongoing studies continue to affirm the quality, efficacy and safety of Flor•Essence Herbal Tea Blend. Consistency is the key A simple cup of tea, taken as a tonic every day, can easily become an integral part of your daily routine. Just like a multivitamin, Flor·Essence is most effective as a consistent habit. Nobody becomes muscular from working out once a month; happily, unlike exercise, you needn't psych yourself up to drink a warm, soothing 'cuppa'. The beauty of a liquid is that the dosage can easily be adjusted. • As an antioxidant supplement, or for maintenance: take 30 ml once daily. • For periodic cleansing: consume 30-60 ml one to three times daily. Continue for as long as you wish, depending on the extent of detoxification desired. Start with the lowest dosage and increase gradually. It is best to take Flor•Essence at least 30 minutes before eating, or at bedtime. Dilute the liquid with an equal amount of filtered hot water, and sip slowly. Also, aim to drink two litres of pure, clean water every day, to help flush out the toxins released by the tea. That may sound like a lot, but if you think of it as only four 500 ml bottles, it's not so much. Did you know? Antioxidants target specific free radicals, so it's best to take them in combination, for a wider spectrum of protection. Some suggestions for external use: • Mix with water in a spray bottle. Spritz on irritated skin. Keep refrigerated. Signs that Flor•Essence® is working As you begin incorporating the Flor•Essence habit into your day, you may start to notice changes in your body. You may experience some reactions that might seem like side effects but are really signs that Flor•Essence is efficiently doing its job of releasing stored toxins from tissues, thereby entering them into circulation so that they can be eliminated. If the following symptoms arise, be sure to rest and drink lots of water to assist the clearing of the debris. These temporary reactions are normal if slight to moderate in intensity: • Headache If these symptoms are severe and prolonged, reduce your dosage and proceed more slowly on the path toward true health. A renewed sense of health As your organ systems regain their natural balance, your new feeling of 'normal' might look like this: • Abundant energy Your body wants to be healthy! The proud heritage behind the habit There are many herbal formulas on the market purporting to re-create the astounding results that famous Canadian nurse Rene Caisse had with the thousands of patients she treated with her tea for a variety of chronic conditions. Only Flor•Essence came into being through her dedicated work and her partnership with the eminent Dr. Charles Brusch. 
More than a century ago, an Ojibwa medicine man treated a woman who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Rather than undergo surgery, she had opted for a natural treatment; it worked, and she recovered fully. The Aboriginal treatment consisted of a tea made from eight herbs, the names of which she shared with Head Nurse Rene Caisse when she was in an Ontario hospital 30 years later, in 1922, for an unrelated ailment. Rene wrote down the names of the herbs and put the list aside in case the need for it ever arose. Two years later, in 1924, she dug out that list and brewed the herbal formula for an aunt who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and told she had less than six months to live. Her aunt recovered and lived another 20 years. Little did Rene know that she would end up dedicating over 50 years of her life to this traditional formula. She began harvesting the herbs and offering the tea as a last hope to terminal patients at the hospital and later at her own clinic. Rene re-worked the recipe many times throughout her career, but it was only when she partnered with the eminent Dr. Charles Brusch (personal physician to President John F. Kennedy) that they discovered that the original eight ingredients provided the most synergistic effect. They joined forces in 1958 at the Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and worked and learned together for five years. Rene then returned to Ontario to continue her work, but they remained in close contact, and Dr. Brusch retained the rights to the formula when she passed away in 1978, at the age of 91. He continued their research with many of his patients, and reported a variety of positive results, including: cessation of pain, increased appetite and energy, improved sleep, an overall feeling of wellbeing, and a decrease of nodular masses. Dr. Brusch stated that the herbal tea identified and gathered toxins, broke them down, and discharged them. In 1984, Dr. Brusch was invited to be a guest on a popular radio talk show about natural health and 'alternative' remedies. Long-time Canadian radio producer and broadcaster Elaine Alexander interviewed Dr. Brusch several times due to extraordinary audience response. He was so impressed by her willingness and ability to promote interest in the tea that he legally passed the formula on to Elaine in 1988, in order that she might continue the important work of bringing it to the public's awareness. After extensive research into manufacturers of herbal products, Elaine finally settled on a leader in the natural health industry. Having chosen Flora to manufacture and distribute this important cleansing tea, its name became, naturally, Flor•Essence. The genesis of Flor•Essence 1922 - Rene Caisse learned the names of the eight herbs in the Aboriginal formula. Safe and Simple to Use Flor*Essence® can be purchased ready-made or be prepared at home.
