Traditionally used in herbal medicine as a diuretic and diaphoretic
Promotes the elimination of accumulated toxins through the kidneys, skin, and mucus membranes
Formulated with 9 wild-crafted traditional botanicals, including burdock root, sheep sorrel herb top, and pau d’arco inner bark
New Roots Essence stays true to its name, as we’ve created a blend with 9 wild-crafted traditional botanicals:
Nutrient-rich burdock root, a herb native to Northern Asia and Europe that was used for centuries in many ways, including as a diuretic
Sheep sorrel, used as a diuretic to accelerate cleansing and renewal
Red clover, often used for detoxification programs
Pau d’arco, an added element which is critical for a formula that accelerates elimination, as the immune system can be vulnerable
Watercress, gaining popularity due to its dense nutritional content
Slippery elm bark, used by the First Nations as a remedy for common ailments
Blessed thistle, a commonly used ingredient in combination formulas for gastric health
Rhubarb, a good source of fibre
An added touch of nutrient-rich kelp that completes New Roots Essence
The combination of all these traditional botanicals can be used as an alterative to help remove accumulated waste products via the kidneys, skin and mucus membranes.
