Flor•Essence® 500 ml

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.

  • Traditional aqueous preparation for maximum absorption
  • Alcohol- and preservative-free
  • No colourings, flavourings or sweeteners
  • Herbal blend made with certified organic herbs
  • Safe for long-term, daily use
  • Unrefined, full-spectrum herbs balance the body so it can heal itself
  • All ingredients stringently tested for purity, quality and potency

Make healthy living a habit...

Experts say it takes 21 days to make something a habit. This 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 any and 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.

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
  • acid reflux
  • frequent infections
  • poor quality of sleep
  • sinus congestion
  • irritability
  • constipation or diarrhea
  • inflammation
  • aches and pains
  • dry or irritated skin
  • blemishes
  • body odour

Because the onset of disease is a progression, these symptoms tend to sneak up on us until we wonder what it felt like to be free of them.

Little by little…

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. Accumulation of toxins begins to cause damage at the cellular level.

Rising levels of circulating and stored toxic material in the body cause both physical and emotional irritation: itchy or irritated skin, rashes, nausea, insomnia, mood swings.

Inflammation occurs as a result of irritation in areas where toxins continue to accumulate; swelling is the body's attempt to isolate the irritants so they don't spread any further throughout the system. This stage is often accompanied by pain, and is a precursor to serious damage.

Ulcers may soon follow, as stored toxins destroy the cells and tissue. Nerves become exposed and pain increases. To keep toxins from spreading outside of the ulcerated areas, the body fills in the ulcers with hardened tissue. This is the last stage where the body still has control of its cells.

Facts..

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), Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella), Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra), Watercress (Nasturtium officinale), Red Clover (Trifolium pratense), Blessed Thistle (Cnicus benedictus), Kelp (Laminaria digitata), Turkish Rhubarb root (Rheum palmatum).

Together, in precise amounts, these eight ingredients become an entirely new entity unto itself, enhancing each other's benefits to create a powerful synergistic healing effect.

More than 75% of the herbs in Flor•Essence® are certified organic. The remainder are also sustainably grown in order to maximize nutrients and minimize chemical contaminants such as pesticides, insecticides or herbicides. In addition to using organic and non-irradiated ingredients, Flora is a certified organic producer and processor accredited by Quality Assurance International (QAI).

To ensure the highest quality, Flora grows as many of the herbs as possible at our own certified organic herbal farm. Our goal is to grow and harvest all of the plants ourselves, but until that is possible, we purchase only from contract farmers who follow Flora's specifications.

Canada's Natural Health Products Regulations now require less stringent testing than we had previously practiced as a pharmaceutical-quality facility, but we have kept up our strict quality control and continue to perform equipment and process testing beyond regulatory requirements. In addition, by conducting our own tests as well as having third-party testing done, we go beyond the mandatory steps to guarantee the purity, quality and potency of all of our products, including Flor•Essence.

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 using highly sensitive tests conducted in state-of-the-art laboratories: Thin Layer Chromatography, High Performance Liquid Chromatography, spectrophotometry and other chemical analytical methods.

Citric acid can be produced from microbial fermentation of sugar or as a byproduct of petroleum. The citric acid in Flor•Essence® liquid is of the fermented variety. Not a preservative, its function is to act as an antioxidant and to lower the pH enough to prevent certain anaerobic bacteria from producing toxins.

The quality and potency of Flor•Essence® is guaranteed consistent without isolating specific 'active' compounds in the plants. We accept only plants that meet our criteria of seed selection, farming and raw material testing. Our manufacturing process is meticulously controlled, and we test the finished product to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Pre-production and final testing includes verifying that certain marker compounds are present; while we recognize that there are countless substances in any herb that contribute to its activity, it is crucial to perform chemical profiling and to quantify compounds that are commonly thought to be the active ingredients. Without them, the herbs would be weak and ineffective, and Flor•Essence® wouldn't be as potent as thousands of people know it to be. Ongoing studies continue to affirm the quality, efficacy and safety of Flor•Essence® Herbal Tea Blend.

Drink Flor•Essence® Tea and you're likely to enjoy a healthy, fuller & longer life...

A simple cup of tea, taken as a tonic every day, can easily become an integral part of your daily routine. Just like a multivitamin, Flor•Essence® is most effective as a consistent habit.

The beauty of a liquid is that the dosage can easily be adjusted.

  • As an antioxidant supplement, or for maintenance: take 30 ml once daily.
  • For periodic cleansing: consume 30-60 ml one to three times daily. Continue for as long as you wish, depending on the extent of detoxification desired. Start with the lowest dosage and increase gradually.

It is best to take Flor•Essence® at least 30 minutes before eating, or at bedtime. Dilute the liquid with an equal amount of filtered hot water, and sip slowly. Also, aim to drink two litres of pure, clean water every day to help flush out the toxins released by the tea.

Some suggestions for external use:

  • Mix with water in a spray bottle t spray on irritated skin. Keep refrigerated.
  • Saturate soft cotton fabric or gauze to use as a compress on boils, blisters, rashes and pimples to draw out impurities.
  • Use the leftover sediment as a poultice or in the bath.

Signs that Flor•Essence® is working

As you begin incorporating the Flor•Essence® habit into your day, you may start to notice changes in your body.

You may experience some reactions that might seem like side effects but are really signs that Flor•Essence® is efficiently doing its job of releasing stored toxins from tissues, thereby entering them into circulation so that they can be eliminated. If the following symptoms arise, be sure to rest and drink lots of water to assist the clearing of the debris. These temporary reactions are normal if slight to moderate in intensity:

  • Headache
  • Mild diarrhea
  • Flu-like symptoms (fever, aches, sweating)
  • Nausea
  • Skin blemishes
  • Runny nose (mucus drainage)

If these symptoms are severe and prolonged, reduce your dosage and proceed more slowly on the path toward true health.

As your organ systems regain their natural balance you are likely to experience:

  • Abundant energy
  • Restful sleep
  • Glowing skin
  • Reduced pain and inflammation
  • Less body odour
  • Fewer headaches
  • Better mood, less irritability
  • Acid/alkaline balance
  • Regular bowel movements
  • Proper digestion (less gas, bloating, indigestion)
  • Strong immunity
