In 2021 I set out to make a completely local line of hydrosols & scents from the land that would gently transform the idea of perfume as deeply renewing & therapeutic. Here we are 💓

DM me "RECIPE" and I will send it to you!

This 4 Herb Formula was popularized by local Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada nurse (my hometown) in the 1930’s and 40’s. She had a cancer clinic and dedicated her life to curing people of cancer with this old Ojibway recipe.

Caisse struggled to get the medical profession to consider the herb mixture as an option to radiation and chemotherapy. When the Ontario government forced her out of business, Essiac went underground, the formula quietly kept alive by Caisse and her closest confidantes and assistants. Though Rene died at the age of 90 in 1976 Essiac continued to be available to those who knew the formula or someone who did.

Mary MacPherson and Sheila Snow who both learned from Rene how to make the formula and exactly what herbs to use, then taught Barb Andrews, who then taught me. My Grandmother who was a farm girl from Victoria Harbour area also used Essiac made by Mary to rid her cancer of the lymph nodes. She was to go in for testing 2 weeks after they ‘discovered’ cancer and within 2 weeks when she returned for testing the cancer was gone, after her daily dosage of Essiac. My Mother who died of Cancer in 1991, was refused the Essiac in the hospital, the doctor did not let her take it, and she was not well enough to leave the hospital. A lot of the work I do is connected to my love and experience with losing my precious mother at the age of 7.

Here are the herbs in the formula

- Burdock Root

- Slippery Elm Bark

- Sheep Sorrel

- Turkish Rhubarb Root

The exact proportions are extremely important. I have the proportions listed on my blog on my website here: https://www.lovenorth.ca/lnblog/e-s-s-i-a-c



If you want to make your own, you can purchase the exact proper proportions here: https://www.lovenorth.ca/shop-online/rene-caisse-herbs

This makes 7.5 litres of the tea, which you jar up, and can store in a cool place, once a bottle is opened it is stored in the fridge.

Preventative dosage is 1oz on an empty stomach, 30 minutes away from food, and for those with ‘acute’ conditions 2oz – twice daily, 30 minutes away from food.

UNITY consciousness is the harder path in mind, body, heart & spirit but much needs to be overridden to operate from that place.

It's a lot of ego work on judgement & self righteousness, And funny how full circle this work is because guess what helps me the most??! The sagebrush. The most potent hydrosol I've distilled up to this point.

Yes, this will be available soooooooon. So excited for you to smell this and see how aligned it is with unity consciousness.

I made these, initially through my intuition and how it turned out was that the hydrosols advanced my 'remembering' by softening my edges, allowing me to ground into my body.

When the body is in fight or flight we cannot get to the remembering, or even to the creativity. The old program, which many of us have outgrown, tells us to remain in fight or flight mode, it's easier for society to have slaves when people are in fight or flight.

The creation of a better reality, first comes through the body, and only then can we connect with our emotions properly.

The Sweetgrass in particular reminds us through Mother Earth's braid (Braiding together mind, body, spirit) that we are whole, body needs strength to have a calm mind, spirit needs hope and clarity through calm mind)

The Sweetgrass' gift cuts through the edges and places blessings of ease and hope wherever it touches. What a gift she has been to me, and so many others.

Cedar is one of the 4 sacred medicines of these lands I call home. It is often to referred to as "the tree of life" Both Red Western Cedar in British Columbia & White Eastern Cedar in Ontario are a source of spiritual cleansing, & cleanses & purifies the subtle energies of low vibrations.

Some time ago, an elder I traveled with in BC told me to add it to my bath for anger. It washes away anger with ease.

In terms of the physical attributes
Anti bacterial
Wound healing
Anti fungal

The white eastern Cedar is in our BOREAL Aromatherapy Spray and this product hits the target on so many levels 🌲

Distillation uses all 5 elements. The process of combining the forces of the 5 elements with prayer & gratitude, knowledge & wisdom is pure magic.

Each plant has its own abilities to transcend and shift ones cells, emotions, and state. In the act of distillation the plants become a distilled version of themselves (like human high self), with the elements and the one who chooses (me/muse). One can further understand this concept with our own suffering. To find purpose and peace, we must take the overall lessons of our suffering and distill them into a version of ourself that is both authentic and pure.

The same goes for the plants. This kind of heart centered medicine making is the way I serve you. In fullness, in truth, in mastery and of course with alchemy and love ❤️

I learn every time I distill.

My top 3 healers of the heart
1. Rosewater
2. Sweetgrass
3. Sweet Gale (in the DREAM Spray)

Top 3 for mental health:
1. Black Spruce (BOREAL)
2. Balsam Fir

Chaga Extract is good for just about EVERYTHING.

Our dissolvable Chaga Extract contains one of the most powerful, bioavailable anti inflammatory constituents on earth: betulinic acid.

Our extractor was built by my genius friend Grant. I love how committed he has been to creating a machine that didn't exist so as to be able to extract one of the most powerful parts of the chaga itself. We have not witnessed any other company that has been able to extract the betulinic acid. Which makes our extract extremely potent to reduce inflammation in any part of the body that it is showing up.

Chaga is an adaptogen and boosts the immune system, calms the nervous system and protects the cells with its extremely high antioxidant properties. Now we can add the anti inflammatory to that list.
