The History of this Super Blend

The Ojibwa (Also known as the Ojibwe) Indigenous people occupied land around the Great Lakes in what is now modern day United States & Canada, and have been using their traditional Ojibwa tea formula for generations to help support the body’s enzymes, nervous system and to bolster immune and cardiovascular support.

In the early 1920’s an Objebwa tribesman shared the blend of ingredients with a nurse named Rene Caisse who started giving the supplements to her patients at her clinic, and the blend of ingredients have been used over the past 100 years by people from all over the world!
