Essiac – (Ojibwa)
Essiac is an herbal combination that was developed by the Ojibwa Indians and made famous by a Canadian nurse, Rene Caisse. (Essiac is Caisse spelled backwards.) Essiac has long been promoted as an alternative cancer treatment despite the lack of controlled studies. Laboratory studies have shown that Essiac does possess antioxidant and cytotoxic properties.
