What's in the Tea?

Rumex acetosella - Sheep Sorrel with the roots Rene Caisse isolated sheep sorrel as the main Essiac herb that caused regression of metastasized cancer and reduction of tumours. She used the whole herb including sheep sorrel roots. In fact, she stated that sheep sorrel roots are a necessary part of the formula. In spite of this fact, nearly all Essiac suppliers do not include the roots, because they take two years to mature, so they would have to replant and wait for two more years if they harvested the whole plant.  Sheep sorrel is a traditional food of native cultures and is still served in fine restaurants along with other sorrels.
