The proud heritage behind the habit 

There are many herbal formulas on the market purporting to re-create the astounding results that famous Canadian nurse Rene Caisse had with the thousands of patients she treated with her tea for a variety of chronic conditions. Only Flor Essence came into being through her dedicated work and her partnership with the eminent Dr. Charles Brusch.

More than a century ago, an Ojibwa medicine man treated a woman who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Rather than undergo surgery, she had opted for a natural treatment; it worked, and she recovered fully. The Aboriginal treatment consisted of a tea made from eight herbs, the names of which she shared with Head Nurse Rene Caisse when she was in an Ontario hospital 30 years later, in 1922, for an unrelated ailment. Rene wrote down the names of the herbs and put the list aside in case the need for it ever arose. Two years later, in 1924, she dug out that list and brewed the herbal formula for an aunt who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and told she had less than six months to live. Her aunt recovered and lived another 20 years.

Little did Rene know that she would end up dedicating over 50 years of her life to this traditional formula. She began harvesting the herbs and offering the tea as a last hope to terminal patients at the hospital and later at her own clinic. Rene re-worked the recipe many times throughout her career, but it was only when she partnered with the eminent Dr. Charles Brusch (personal physician to President John F. Kennedy) that they discovered that the original eight ingredients provided the most synergistic effect.

They joined forces in 1958 at the Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and worked and learned together for five years. Rene then returned to Ontario to continue her work, but they remained in close contact, and Dr. Brusch retained the rights to the formula when she passed away in 1978, at the age of 91. He continued their research with many of his patients, and reported a variety of positive results, including: cessation of pain, increased appetite and energy, improved sleep, an overall feeling of wellbeing, and a decrease of nodular masses. Dr. Brusch stated that the herbal tea identified and gathered toxins, broke them down, and discharged them.

In 1984, Dr. Brusch was invited to be a guest on a popular radio talk show about natural health and 'alternative' remedies. Long-time Canadian radio producer and broadcaster Elaine Alexander interviewed Dr. Brusch several times due to extraordinary audience response. He was so impressed by her willingness and ability to promote interest in the tea that he legally passed the formula on to Elaine in 1988, in order that she might continue the important work of bringing it to the public's awareness. After extensive research into manufacturers of herbal products, Elaine finally settled on a leader in the natural health industry. Having chosen Flora to manufacture and distribute this important cleansing tea, its name became, naturally, Flor Essence.
