FlorEssence is another very important product to consider in our daily routine with regards to natural health. It actually has uniquely Canadian natural health history. It comes from the native tribe the Ojibwe in Ontario and since the 1920s it has been made popular  all the way into the 1980s and then the 1990s by a certain nurse, Rain Kess, in Ontario. She used them, together with her patients, for the rest of her life since the 1920s and you can always look up the details of the history. It is quite interesting to learn about that history.

What makesFlorEssenceDifferent?
FlorEssence 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 FlorEssence, 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. FlorEssence 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 from certified organic herbs
-Safe for long-term use, daily use
-Unrefined, full-spectrum herbs balance the body so it can heal itself
-All ingredients stringently tested for purity, quality and potency

The symptoms of toxicity don't happen over nightAlmost 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 requent infections
-poor quality of sleep
-sinus congestion
-irrtability
-constipation or diarrhea
-inflammtion
-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.

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 todiminished energyandconstipationorirregularity(a bowel movement less than once per day is cause for concern). Accumulation of toxins begins to causedamage 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.

Inflammationoccurs 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.

Ulcersmay 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 withhardened tissue. This is the last stage where the body still has control of its cells. If nothing is done at this point, cells may begin to mutate, and then lose their naturally programmed ability to die, leading to uncontrolled growth.

Each of the eight herbs in FlorEssence exhibits specific biological activity and boasts impressive remedial qualities in its own right
