Product Notes:
Flor-Essence is the Ultimate Detox, both for the kidneys and even for the whole body! It functions as a diuretic (to stimulate urine production), a diaphoretic (to induce perspiration), and an alterative (to alter a disease, purify blood, increase appetite, improve digestion and eliminate toxins) to help remove accumulated waste products from your body via the kidneys, skin and mucus membranes.
For hundreds of years, this herbal tea blend was a secret known only to the North American Ojibwa tribe, described as "the holy drink which brings the body back into balance with great spirit." This knowledge was passed on to the Canadian nurse Rene Caisse, who researched and further developed the formula with Dr. Charles Brusch, the former personal physician to President John F. Kennedy.
You can choose here between:
- the already prepared herbal tea blend packaged in a non-reactive, recyclable dark amber glass bottle (but due to the weight and fragility of this item, extra shipping costs may apply; if so, you will be notified before proceeding with the order); or,
- a box of three 21g foil-lined packets which can each be used to prepare 1 litre of the cleanse, at home (the process involves boiling in a pot for about 15 minutes, allowing to steep at room temperature for about 12 minutes, heating almost to a boil again, and then straining into your own sealed glass container(s) to refrigerate).
Price may vary in-store. There may also be a much larger (941 ml) bottle available in-store.
