A Timeless Herbal Tradition
Rediscover a legendary herbal remedy with Wildeboost’s Essiac Tea. This revered four-herb formula, with roots in Canadian Ojibwa tradition, is a gentle yet powerful detoxifying tonic designed to cleanse and support the body’s natural elimination pathways. We have meticulously sourced the highest quality organic ingredients—Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm Bark, and Indian Rhubarb Root—to create a blend that honors the original recipe. Embrace this historic brew as a cornerstone of your wellness ritual. This is a medicinal tea, and as such not necessarily enjoyed for it’s taste. With continued use, you do become used to it, however in the meantime you could always try adding a little stevia, fruit, or lemon juice if you really wanted to try to improve the flavour.  
Ingredients
  • 53% Burdock Root
  • 36% Sheep Sorrel
  • 9% Slippery Elm Bark
  • 2% Indian Rhubarb Root
Tea Bags are made out of 100% recycled wood pulp. They are nice and natural. The CONTENTS of each tea bag weighs at least 2g.  
 
How to Use/Preparation Suggestions
Our Essiac Tea is available as convenient tea bags or as a traditional loose-herb blend.
  • Tea Bags: Simply steep one tea bag in a cup of hot (not boiling) water for 10-15 minutes. Cover the cup while steeping to retain the volatile oils.
  • Loose Herbs (Traditional Method): For a larger batch, combine 30g of the loose herb mix with 1 litre of purified water in a stainless steel pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover, and let the tea steep overnight at room temperature. The next morning, stir well and pour into a sterilized glass jar for storage in the refrigerator.
  • Enjoyment: Sip the tea warm or cold, ideally on an empty stomach, once or twice daily. Its flavor is earthy and mild.
 
 
Vitamins, Minerals, and Nutrients Content
Essiac Tea’s power lies in the synergistic action of its four key ingredients:
  • Burdock Root: A source of antioxidants like quercetin and luteolin, and contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber.
  • Sheep Sorrel: Rich in vitamins A and C, and contains beneficial carotenoids.
  • Slippery Elm Bark: Primarily composed of mucilage, a gel-like substance that soothes the digestive tract.
  • Indian Rhubarb Root: Contains anthraquinones, compounds known for their gentle laxative effect.
 
 
Scientific Research into the Benefits
While much of Essiac Tea’s reputation is built on historical and anecdotal evidence, modern science has investigated the properties of its individual herbs.
  • Antioxidant Properties: A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology evaluated the antioxidant activity of Essiac Tea, concluding that it exhibited free-radical scavenging properties, likely due to the phenolic compounds in Burdock Root and Sheep Sorrel. (Link to Study)
  • Cellular Health: Research has explored the effects of the formula on various cell lines in laboratory settings, though human clinical trials remain limited.
 
 
What Not to Do/Cautions
Do not consume if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Due to its gentle detoxifying and laxative effects, it’s recommended to start with a small dose to see how your body responds. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new herbal regimen.

Our Policy on Medical Conditions

At Wildeboost, we are aware that many of the functional mushrooms (such as Reishi, Chaga, and Turkey Tail) and adaptogenic herbs we use are the subject of extensive scientific research, often focusing on their antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. We understand why customers with serious health concerns might be interested in these natural ingredients.

Crucially, our products are food supplements and not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent cancer or any other disease.

A healthcare professional is best positioned to advise you on potential interactions with your current treatment and your specific health needs.

The Investigation of Lion’s Mane

Our inclusion of functional mushrooms is backed by decades of research. For instance, Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) has been the subject of numerous clinical trials investigating its neurological properties.

One notable randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human study investigated adults with mild cognitive impairment. The researchers reported that the group receiving Lion’s Mane extract showed significant improvements in cognitive performance scores over the 16-week intervention period (Mori et al., 2009/2019). This is one example of the research supporting the historical use of this powerful ingredient.

“I swapped my second cup of coffee for a Wildeboost product, and the difference is night and day. I get this clean, sustained energy and laser-like focus without any of the jitters or the dreaded afternoon crash. It has truly made my workdays more productive. The taste is smooth, too—a great start to the morning!” – Alex R., Repeat Customer

Research into Reishi and Beta-Glucans

Mushrooms like Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) are prized for their high concentrations of \beta-glucans, which are widely studied for their immunomodulatory properties.

In one randomized controlled trial involving healthy adult volunteers, researchers found that supplementation with Reishi-derived \beta-glucan was associated with a significant enhancement in various immune cell populations, including T-lymphocytes and Natural Killer (NK) cell counts, compared to the placebo group (Liu et al., 2023). This provides evidence for the ingredient’s potential to support a balanced immune system.

“I usually dread the shift into winter—I always feel run down and sluggish. I’ve been taking a Wildeboost blend daily for six months, and this year, the seasonal shift has been completely different. I feel more resilient, my energy is steady, and I feel like my body is just handling everything better. It’s become a vital part of my daily wellness routine.” – Sarah L., Dedicated User

The Investigation of Cordyceps and Exercise

For those seeking natural support for an active lifestyle, many of our blends include Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris). This ingredient is known in traditional use for supporting energy and vitality, and modern science is actively exploring these claims.

One human study investigated the effects of Cordyceps supplementation on muscle tissue after high-intensity exercise. Researchers observed that the intake of Cordyceps was associated with accelerated stem cell recruitment to the muscle after exercise, suggesting a potential role in speeding up the resolution of exercise-induced muscle damage (Dewi et al., 2024).

The Science Behind Chaga

Many of our comprehensive blends feature Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), which is recognized for its dark, nutrient-rich pigmentation. This color is due to a high concentration of polyphenols and melanins—compounds known for their antioxidant activity.


Multiple laboratory studies have compared the antioxidant potential of Chaga extract against other common medicinal fungi. These reports consistently demonstrate that Chaga possesses a strong scavenging activity against free radicals, often showing the highest levels of phenolic and flavonoid content among the fungi tested (Cui, Kim, & Park, 2005).
