Essiac® contains a combination of herbs, including burdock root (Arctium lappa), sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella), slippery elm inner bark (Ulmus fulva), and Turkish rhubarb (Rheum palmatum). The original formula was developed by the Canadian nurse Rene Caisse (1888-1978) and is thought to be effective in cancer therapies although there is currently no evidence for any type of cancer. Different brands may contain variable ingredients, and the comparative effectiveness of these formulas is not known. None of the individual herbs used in Essiac® have been tested in rigorous human cancer trials, although some components have anti-tumor activity in laboratory studies. Caution is advised when taking Essiac® supplements, as numerous adverse effects, including drug interactions, are possible. Essiac® should not be used if the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, unless otherwise directed by a doctor.
