About Flora
It’s only natural to want to feel better
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 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.

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
headaches
gas and bloating
aches and pains
dry or irritated skin
blemishes
body odour
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).
Rising levels of circulating and stored toxic material in the body cause itchy or irritated skin, rashes, nausea and mood swings.
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) contains inulin, flavonoids (including quercetin) and tannins. It is a strong antioxidant and supports cleansing and strengthening. This burdock root is North American and certified organic.
Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella) oxygenates tissues and provides immune system support. All aerial parts are used as they contain several effective antioxidants including flavonoids and trace elements. Sheep sorrel is a bile stimulant with phytoestrogenic qualities. North American-grown and certified organic.
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) is noted for soothing the digestive tract, due to its mucilage content. Alkalizes by balancing pH in the GI tract.
Watercress (Nasturtium officinale) is a rich source of chlorophyll and has been used traditionally as a restorative.
Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) is an antioxidant and blood purifier. The leaf and blossom are harvested from certified organic plants grown in North America.
Blessed Thistle (Cnicus benedictus) contains a bitter-tasting compound called ‘cnicin’, which increases the flow of gastric juices, thereby relieving indigestion and headaches associated with liver congestion. The flower top is harvested from plants grown in North America. Certified organic.
Kelp (Laminaria digitata) contains alginates, which soothe and cleanse the intestines. Kelp supplies minerals including iodine for healthy thyroid function and metabolism. Harvested near Iceland and certified organic.
Turkish Rhubarb root (Rheum palmatum) helps to safely normalize bowel movements, cleanse the liver and detoxify the colon. Increases the flow of saliva and gastric juices for improved digestion. Certified organic when available.
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.
